Do you get offended when you see something like this:
GySgt Ableman was keen enough to spot this douche-bag walking through the Reno Airport in full dress blues with gloves and cover on. He stopped him near the baggage claim and running into three Drill Instructors wasn't something this guy had anticipated. If any of you know Gy Ableman, this kid was lucky to leave with all his teeth intact.
From the get go, it was obvious this kid was not a Marine. He claimed to be a PFC (wearing LCpl chevrons) and could not explain what a PFC chevron looked like and then couldn't explain the NCO stripe on his trousers. He had a collar emblem in the middle of his barracks cover and his belt was sticking out. No ribbons or badges, his trousers were way too long, not to mention he had on Sketcher boots instead of dress shoes and a civilian belt. We found this out after we demanded that he take off the blouse and cover.
Turns out he bought the uniform from a surplus store and his dad is a retired Navy Chief. Reno is a super-pro military area and this guy was soaking in the atta-boys. Lot of posers out there, watch out! Know any recruiters in the San Diego and Reno areas, send them a warning to watch out for this turd.

it doesnt offend me when someone wants to dress as a soldier
it does offend me when they do so to get preferential treatment
it's also illegal to impersonate a decorated soldier. its like 6 months in jail

It kind of reminds me of that Seinfeld episode where George played like he was a Marine Biologist and then goes on a date and a whale beaches and someone yells "Is anyone here a Marine Biologist???" and he gives that "aaaahhhh shit" look.
Coincidence on the Marine/Marine Biologist? Me thinks so.
