This is what we call “Stolen Valor,” where people who have never served in the military attempt to wear their own makeshift military attire in an effort to get discounts in restaurants, stores, etc.
Typically, these people are easy for actual military veterans to sniff out in public, because they know the dress so well that they can tell when someone is wearing a fake uniform.
It occurred in a Waffle House, where a guy was eating his meal and dressed in military attire, claiming he’s a veteran.
However, an actual Marine veteran walks into the restaurant, and as the guy is finishing his meal, he calls BS on the guy claiming to have served.
The actual Marine vet was left astonished, and so was the Waffle House crew.
He said:
“I knew something was off by the uniform.”
Next thing you know, the fake veteran begins to play victim, saying stuff like:
“Can you chill bro?”
“You embarrassed me in front of this young lady.”
He then asks the waitress to call the police on him because he’s “trying to expose me.”
