There’s a great episode of Lovejoy Mysteries where a guy poses as a WWII RAF pilot to perpetrate a scam, and in classic Lovejoy fashion, they end up scamming the would-be scammer.

J.T. died a Marine Lieutenant. During my Nephews hometown ceremony a nutcase appearing as a decorated hero got next to my sister in law.
The F.B.I. grabed this nutcase and appropriately charged the him.
But it was really unsettling to the family.

How dumb does he think the SAS is?Really! From what I've heard, the elite units are especially touchy about people falsely claiming membership; never mind decorations. Rightly so given what they had to do to earn it.
The genuine articles will probably not let this slide.

These people are pathetic. Their lives are so empty and devoid of purpose that they live in a dream world where they are really heros instead of the buffoons they really are.

How dumb does he think the SAS is? I thought some of those Brits kicking Argie behind looked like they had some experience , but I had no idea they were WW I vets around 80 years old . Remember the battle cry of the Falklands ; Don't give up the sheep .

wasn’t it later proven that Kerry threw SOMEONE ELSE’S medals over the fence and kept his own
(you know- the 3 purple hearts he got during 3 months in Viet Nam for scratches requiring a band-aid, before they shipped him home as UNFIT FOR COMMAND)

Yes, but was he in Cambodia during Christmas of 68? That’s what I want to know. Was John Kerry there? ;-)

Yes. His own undeserved medals were found hanging in his office.
