This protester was a distinctive part of the Marine Corps Uniform.
The hat can only be worn with the complete uniform. If this person is not on active duty it’s a Federal Offence and can result in 6 mo. in federal prison.
When I was Stationed at The Pentagon a discharge officer worn his uniform to a party and it cost him $500.00.
His bad luck was that a JAG officer that new him and know he was discharged was at the same party.
Now there is filmed evidence of this crime because the SGT/MAJ was able to get it on film. The Recruit Depot should have all ready filed a complaint.
So let them file one. That doesn't justify the Sgt. Major or anyone else taking the law into their own hands unless they are willing to suffer the consequences.
The SCOTUS ruled that wearing a uniform and awards that you are not entitled to, whether civilian or former military is allowed.
Maybe the protester committed a crime but the Sgt Major and soetoro did far worse.
Local Army surplus store sells fatigues, caps, boonie hats. Are these legal to wear?
