A Case For Stolen Valor, Or Just Drunkenness? Or Both? LOL!!

This crossed my feed on Facebook yesterday and the first thing I thought of was that someone was once again attempting to be the hero. Then someone pointed out that the man may have served in both the Army and the Corps...but I don't think it is too wise to mix the two in a tat like this. This just seems wrong to me because I am Army with the utmost respect for our cousins in the Corps. I'm just sayin'...

Some folks will go a long ways to perpetrate a fraud.

I'm hoping Drunkeness and overseas tattoo aritst that didn't know the difference. Going to be hard to live that one down.

CW4 Curtis, I'm still old fashioned and think the Tattoo thing is out of control. So, this is just another example of that to me. It's confusing. Thanks for the question. I'll just stick with the cool Army cap!

Hope you're not implying that a tattoo is a case of 'stolen valor'.

I don't know about this one. Even vets that I have seen that served in two branches keep them separate. Either this guy is faking or was just off a little bit in the head.

It had to be more than drinks for him to mix the Army and Marine symbol. Ultimate fail.

After I shared this on my Facebook, one of my friends who is adept at using Photoshop presented an enlarged image which more or less proved digital photo manipulation in that the tatoo was pasted onto this image from another. That being said, that in no way proves that there isn't SOMEONE out there sporting this ignorant tatoo because the copied image of the tatoo had to come from SOMEWHERE.
