One of the early members of my local Vietnam Veterans of America was a fake SEAL, and a fake 'Nam Vet.
Of course it turned out half the vets in the VVA weren't 'Nam vets either.
The VVA says it's legal - I say it's stolen valor.
Why would anyone lie about going to Nam? I mean seriously, while I ahve no problems with my service, I would have been perfectly happy to stay home. I don’t like bugs, I don’t like snakes and I sure don’t like being shot at.
