Idk why I find these videos entertaining, but I do. But one thing I've noticed is that the majority of these guys will never ever admit that they're lying no matter what. And I just have so many questions, like why? All this trouble for a veterans discount? Or do they just enjoy the attention/respect? I just don't get it.

Anyways any of you have any experience with stolen valor or any ideas as to why they do it?

I've seen people walk in fatigues at the mall

Like...I guess if I knew for a fact they were faking I'd say something but I don't so I just leave them alone.

Those videos are a guilty pleasure of mine. I just find them absolutely hilarious.

Are/were you in the military? Cuz if not I don't see any reason to do so. But for those that served kts always pretty evident by how they're always out of dress code and stuff

Do you know him or talk to him at all? The animal hoarder thing doesn't surprise me cuz most of these guys seem to have some sort of mental illness. It's the ones that don't, that are purely deceitful that really blow my mind.

Yeah I know him, haven't talked to him in probably over a year. He's actually really funny in a dirty old man way and is a pretty good guy

But yeah he's a bit fucked in the head, he's also a chronic liar and would make up stories about how his life is so horrible, says shit like "Oh I was getting golf ball sized hail at my place, it tore up my roof and my car blah blah", presumably fishing for sympathy. Which is odd because his actual life seems horrible enough to me (super poor, health problems etc.)

Quite the character to say the least

Well since these videos still aren't wildly popular, I'd say most people stupid enough to try this e1didn't know how they'd stick out like a sore thumb to any actual service men and women so they don't look up any regulations at all. Plus if they don't know about stolen valor they don't know how badly they're offending some people. That made me realize, every single person who attempted this is embarrassingly unintelligent.

No that's why I have no real idea if they're faking it or not. I like military history and stuff but not really enough to know the dress code or anything.

There's been times I've suspected it though.

You know that's actually a good point. If they're so ignorant they can't even look up the correct way to wear the uniform, they may not even realize how offensive it is. They really might be that dumb.

I like the video of the chick who went to the recruiting station and asked for a ride or a loan and claimed she was a Colonel. That one was the best.
