Trigger warning, stuff that goes bang and my tactical beard.

So based on the top image, some idiot hooah just accused me of stolen valor. Dude I'm wearing jeans, a hoodie and a hat I've had since before your balls dropped. I also happen to have an AR I built myself. There's nothing valorous about any of that. Do you even know what Stolen Valor MEANS? Outside of an American flag patch on my cover I have nothing on that jacket that can be construed as even being related to the military, much less valorous. Important notice: Jeans and a hoodie can now get you mistaken for a Deltaforcerangerseal! We need to take these dangerous tactical garments off our streets.
Grognard:
what are the small patches on your jacket?

I don't, actually.
Grognard:
SV is the act of a person to fraudulently claim having received any of a series of particular military decorations with the intention of obtaining money, property, or other tangible benefit from convincing someone that he or she rightfully did receive that award.
fer instance: Joe Civilian shows up in public in a recognized US military uniform with the Congressional Medal of Honor prominently displayed. He may even have some bullshit hero story. His intent: to gain self recognition or any type of benefit for his fraudulent claims. yes, this has happened.
secondary example: Bob the Veteran who honorably served, decides to 'embellish' his service with a Silver Star or three. Same intent. Equllly criminal.
Method of Madness:
Does there have to be any actual gain to be criminal, or is simply lying about it to anyone a crime?
