If you are in a High School ROTC Unit and routinely wear uniform items out in the public and receive free comps, are you stealing valor?

My Brother is in an JNROTC Unit at his High School and commonly wears his boots and jackets in public and receives free food and discounts at restaurants. He never asks for these things, but he doesn’t change his wardrobe. I tell him that he is committing Stolen Valor, but what is y’all’s opinion?

A little torn on this. While not exactly touting that he is a service member, he is receiving free stuff by people having the impression that he is a SM while not trying to stop them. Some would argue that he is stealing valor, while others would not. Personally, I think he is exploiting these places and should stop.....at least because it is the moral/ethical thing to do.

Exactly! With this behavior, he is unfit to serve in my opinion; in any capacity whatsoever.

I say absolutely yes since he is not a member of the armed forces. He is a civilian, probably a good one but not a military member yet.

I can't stand them. I am a veteran of the 101st Airborne. My esprit decor remains high. I wear my 101st cap almost everyday. I was approached by a new hire at my job and when he saw me wearing my 101st cap, he pulled up his T- shirt and showed me his RANGER tab tattoo on his shoulder. He was a very fit , mid 20's, black man. I was impressed. I gave him a Hoowah, fucking Ranger! We went back to work.
I have the highest respect for Army Rangers, I am a Mogvet, (Veterans of Somalia), I was in Mogadishu when Task Force Ranger lost so many brave soldiers during the Blackhawk Down battle.
I caught up with the new hire with his trainer. I was the Asst Mgr, so I told his trainer that I would take him for awhile. We were alone inside a Auto Rack railcar. I started asking questions. What was your rank? I was a SSGT. Oh, you were a E-5? He said yes.
Well, he flunked that one!
I asked, I guess you got Air Assault qualified too ? He looked at me confused, and said, yah.
Where DoD you go to Jump school at? He said, I can't remember....someplace down south?
I am fuming MAD! A fucking poser!
I cut right in front of him and slapped him so hard that he fell on his ass! Then I started yelling at him, You stupid Fuck! If you think you can fool everybody into thinking your a Army Ranger just because you got a tattoo. YOU HAD BETTER DO YOUR FUCKING HOMEWORK! You are not a Ranger! You can walk back to the office or we can ride in the shuttle van, but I going to tell everyone in the van that your a lying piece of shit!
He took off walking. I took the shuttle van back to the office and told my Mgr what I did.
The new hire never even came in the office. He just got in his car and left. My Mgr was cool with it. Nobody saw me slap him. We were alone. Jake said, that's cool!
I have to tell you it felt GOOD!

Kacee Howell I'm a Private Security Officer, I've gotten the "Police" Discount at McDonalds and Taco Hell more than Once. Never Asked for It. (Usually about 15% Knocked Off). One time I was in Civies and I got the "Police" Discount and I couldn't figure out why, Get to the Window and the Girl said "Oh that is the Seniors Discount" I Liked it Better When they Called it the "Police Discount".
