I was bemused a few months ago to contemplate (right here on FR) fellows who said they were Marines, boasting of how they roughed up a civilian who was wearing a Marines T-shirt (not a piece of genuine or imitation official military garb) for a purpose not to their liking. They argued that they were the law with respect to such matters.
Isn’t this a trivial extension of the same thing, in fact is such a law even needed on the books?
Not at all if you ask me. The only law/act that seems to need to be strengthened is the Posse Comitatus Act
