<p>Bulletandpima - you are mixing apples and oranges here.</p>
<p>It is absolutely proper to expose someone who has “Stolen Valor”. These folks claim to have earned medals for which there is no military record. Some claim to be veterans when they never served. These folks are imposters in the truest sense of the word.</p>
<p>What USNA69 is rightfully opposed to - is for people to scrutinize military records and attempt to revisit history (in some cases rewrite history) of military personnel who earned medals and awards while they served.
Once someone has earned a medal or award and that citation is on their military record it is improper for anyone (especially those who weren’t there) to scrutinize that honor and make the claim it was not deserved. Those who are awarded medals are not imposters.</p>
