What an absolutely stupid law.

"It is up to prosecutors to decide whether they will drop those charges against him or whether they will fight today's ruling," DeForest said.

They BETTER fight this idiotic ruling!

The only problem I have with the ruling is that is based on the First Ammendment right to free speech. It should have been based on the Fifth Ammendment right to Liberty—which is the right to do whatever does not violate the rights of others.

I’m going to start to wear a police officer uniform and walk into restaurants.

Wanna bet I get free meals?

It’s impersonating a soldier and I think there would be real problems there.

One would be bringing dishonor on the USD military by attending Gay Pride parades, being slobbering drunk on the street, etc.

Soldiers are asked to behave in certain ways while in uniform, so this could definitely be a problem.

If I wasn’t at work, I’d post a pic of Fidel Castro in army fatigues.

"It criminalizes a wife wearing her husband's jacket if he is in the military."

So this would be illegal?

[doc1019]

So, does that mean that the 265,347 Vietnam Era sailors that claim to be ex-SEALS can now speak their claim with impunity? /s

[Michael.SF.]

I would guess it could boil down to one question:

Is the wearing of a uniform sufficient to qualify as "impersonating" a member of the military?

I would think that it would take more then simply wearing a uniform. In this case the man may have said he was in the military, that then would be sufficient to classify as 'impersonation'.

Reenactors of all eras wear uniforms on occasion. Many are veterans, many are not. Obviously, if you are a WWII reenactor and not in your late 70’s or 80’s, you are not a WWII veteran.

Reenactors honor the service of those that have come before, and they keep history alive.
