People get tossed from the military for using fake IDs, they lose all benefits, maybe some brig time, fines... then they basically are fired.
The premise is why should the government trust military members with security clearances if they’re flashing around fake IDs so that nobody knows they were in jail over the weekend... I’ve seen it more than once so obviously it’s a little bit more serious than realized but then again probably most laws are more serious than most people would care to realize. Or they don’t care unltil they are caught.
The bar owner could probably lose licenses if serving to an underage drinker with a fake ID. That would have cost the bar owner thousands upon thousands of dollars in fines fees and losses. But that’s okay... right?
