"What ever happened to Impersonation?"
You can't do it if it's shown that you have benefitted from it in some way. Where did Alvarez benefit? If it's a crime to impersonate, then all the kids during Halloween dressed up as soldiers and all actors in war movies would be subject to prosecution, right? Where does it end. If Alverez got his city water job because he claimed to be a CMH recipient or even a vet I would agree. He deserved to be prosecuted.

I remember when I was evaced in 1968, I was wearing more stripes than my ID card indicated, temp records. Some ahole LT started yelling impersonation, UCMJ. I was lucky that my real records showed up. This happened to more than a few people.
