One does not have the right to wear a United States military uniform unless one has been a member of that branch of the United States military. It is NOT a costume. It is an honor earned through sacrifice and discipline.

And I am not a veteran.

Everybody and their dog wears camo or some kind of military gear. You can buy the uniform at any Army/Navy store along with a chest full of medals to put on it. Who you normally don’t see a lot of wearing this stuff is ‘veterans’. I have a ballcap with my unit embroidered on it, my granddaughter wore it when I took her to my brigade reunion, with my blessing. At 16 she turned a few Ranger trainees heads at Benning lol.

"Has been a member" usually isn't enough. I'm not sure exactly what the rules are for former members, but at my retirement I was told that I was no longer authorized to wear it. I assume it us authorized for certain ranks and certain occasions.

My point was that folks who attempt to use it as such are usually caught fairly easily because they just can't act right or wear it right.
