Man caught pretending to be a veteran....

[TonyMontana]

Man wears fake (or unearned) army uniform, with fake 101st airborne tags on it.

Is then called out by two hardcore veterans, who make him look like a fucking retard.

Putting on a uniform that thousands of people have bled and died in, so people will give you the type of respect that an army veteran would get, has got to be the absolute lowest form of life on earth. What a fucking idiot. I can't confirm or deny, that this guy was just on his way to a dod lan and was just REALLY fired up but....I have a serious problem with people who do this, and just had to share. The fuckin nerve of some people man. What is this world coming to?

He should be happy that he stayed at home instead of participating in the clusterfucks we enjoy so much.

Has nothing to do with the whole "support our troops" schtick or whether you agree with the wars or not. I have friends I'll never see again because they died in Afghanistan/Iraq, and they definitely didn't go over there so that this guy could put a uniform on and try to leech some respect off of their sacrifices. So yes, hyperbole aside, it's still a very shitty thing to do.

IMO it does, since Tony / other guys in the vid reacted with such vitriol given that we don't even know the guy in the outfit was "leeching respect" or whatever. The guy in the uniform seemed to be pretty timid / not brightest bulb in the box, he might just be wearing it because his heroes in the 101st wear one like it and he wants to be just like them / wants to be in the army. Which after all is kind of a side effect of the soldier-worshipping culture that exists in parts of the US. So yeh I felt it was relevant

The third Liverpool penalty and the least clear as Vidic slides across the path of Daniel Sturridge but misses the ball. He does not actually trip the striker but still impedes his progress and the penalty is correct.

This time Clattenburg does show the yellow and as it's his second Vidic is also shown the red card – it is extremely harsh on the Serb as it is a careless challenge and the decision is completely inconsistent with the earlier ones.

PENALTY CORRECT, CARD HARSH - Graham Poll (Former Premier League Referee)

BUT YO LETS NOT FORGET HOW RAFAEL SHOULD HAVE BEEN SENT OFF, AND HOW WE SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN ANOTHER PEN WHEN CARRICK TRIPPED STURRIDGE.

[An1maL]

That's a first, how can he conclude that Sturridge's progress was impeded if Sturridge threw himself to the floor like a little girl before he was even touched? Fucking hell, football is a pointless game if "attempting to tackle someone" is a foul.

But yeh raphael should always be sent off because he has no place on a football pitch on account of how bad he is. Our whole team is bad. MOYES OUT

[milo]

I didn't think it was a pen, but I could see why it was given. Regardless, I've never seen 3 pens given at Old Trafford, and I'm loving it.

I hope Moyes stays. He's the new Roy Hodgson #MoyesIN

I really don't want to have to defend how i feel, but at this point i feel i do. The number one reason people fake being in the military or a veteran is because people treat you better, i know of people who have conned well meaning people out of free good and other free stuff. On top of that, being that i work at the va hospital ive seen people try to come in here and lie to get healthcare, that other veterans earned, especially the ww2, and vietnam vets. Furthermore, motive nailed it on the head when he said it's disrespectful to the people who have lost their lives serving their country. I would hope that you would ignore the extremism that some people exhibit towards people that do that, and at least acknowledge its fucked up. I deployed for 13 months to afghanistan and lost friends, so i find it to be on the same level as pissing on their graves. Cops are heroes to some people, but go impersonate/emulate one and guess what happens? Arrested, and rightfully so, but this is just a oh who cares? It's a grown man who went and found patches and tried to pawn himself off as something he's not.


You may disagree with everything i've said and you have a right to your own opinions, but i hope maybe you'll understand a bit more.

Reminds me of fluxx claiming he was a recon Marine and then backpedaling and claiming it was a troll after I verified he wasn't. Self-esteem issues wildly apparent. Akiro pretty much summed up how I feel about this. It's hard to understand the relevance of this type of situation unless you've actually had friends who died wearing the uniform. It represents so much more than just the branch of service you are in.

[TonyMontana]

couldn't agree with akiro more. Most people aren't going to agree on the reasons for war, but one thing i think we all CAN agree on is, a regular army cadet is just a regular man, giving his life to protect the life of the man next to him.

Actually i found a follow-up video to this, and the REAL army ranger was detained, for disturbing the peace, and uttering threats. fuckin sad. It is totally against the law to impersonate a government official, let alone an army ranger. The follow up video is the army ranger in the police station basically saying "WTF" and rightfully so.

An army uniform is like a badge of honor. It says "I find my life to be less important than the lives of innocent people who can't fight for themselves, and less important than the lives of the brothers next to me." That's some pretty fuckin' noble shit. You don't just throw that on, and reap all the rewards and respect that a veteran gets for earning it.

but i did look it up and apparently this dude was just really into dod
