Using a false qualifications to obtain a job or position is fraud (and potentially dangerous fraud if its a technical qualification) and can be punished accordingly. Just walking around pretending you have a degree or qualification when you don’t just makes you a pitiful retard.
The same applies with medals/claims of military service. I’ll admit its usually more offensive, but simply being offensive isn’t good enough to legally proscribe something and as I’ve argued in previous posts, legitimises a dangerous principle by which the state can send people to prison for doing things that they consider to be ‘offensive’, which would probably make about 75% of FReepers here liable to incarceration for some of the opinions expressed that the left-leaning political elite would dearly like to proscribe if they could get away with it...
They’re already doing it in Britain and other so-called free western countries....
