Do you think it should be allowed for civilians who work for the DoD or hold an overseas contracting job to wear the military uniform? Why?

If you feel that those individuals should be allowed, can you explain what would make it any different than those Stateside who impose as a member of the military and get caught. Just looking for others views on this.

I think they are ok to wear them, just like our friends at AMCOM that just have AMCOM where the rank goes. DOD employees are eligible for a Purple Heart if memory serves me.

Many DoD Civilians are required to wear the uniform when deployed.

Our Rolls Royce Field Service Rep (FSR) goes wherever we deploy. They are not DOD and he didn't wear our uniform. He still got a big hole in his a$$ from shrapnel. He pulled our guys into a bunker and was facing outbound and BOOM.... Rocketbutt! Enemy Marksmanship Proficiency Badge scored on his 4th point of contact.

Some military contracts require the use / wear of military uniforms while in transit on military aircraft.
