I believe the ‘Stolen Valor’ thing does not apply to the wearing of a uniform or non-combat medals/awards, but applies specifically to the wearing of combat medals:

https://www.congress.gov/bill/113th-congress/house-bill/258

Public Law No: 113-12 (06/03/2013)

(This measure has not been amended since it was introduced. The summary of that version is repeated here.)

Stolen Valor Act of 2013 - Amends the federal criminal code to rewrite provisions relating to fraudulent claims about military service to subject to a fine, imprisonment for not more than one year, or both an individual who, with intent to obtain money, property, or other tangible benefit, fraudulently holds himself or herself out to be a recipient of:

a Congressional Medal of Honor,
a distinguished-service cross,
a Navy cross,
an Air Force cross,
a silver star,
a Purple Heart,
a Combat Infantryman’s Badge,
a Combat Action Badge,
a Combat Medical Badge,
a Combat Action Ribbon,
a Combat Action Medal, or any replacement or duplicate medal for such medal as authorized by law.

But the medals and high decorations aren't why there are websites and YouTube videos dedicated to service men confronting dopey introverted kids and Walter Mitty types who claim to be Airborne Ranger SEALs in public places and forcing some of them to disrobe because they're unwittingly wearing the female version of the USAF Winter dress blue blouse in the middle of June.

I don't know if the Stolen Valor Act only intended to go after the Admiral Boorda types who wear a Combat 'V' they didn't earn, but the public seems to think it gives license to some legitimate USMC Gunnery Sergeant serving on active duty as a mighty Water Purification Technician to confront and start knife-handing kids dressed up on Hallowe'en night for dressing up in utility uniforms and pretending they're SEALs and then post the withering dressing down on YouTube for everyone's enjoyment.
