"Walker Signs Bill Outlawing Lies About Military Service"

This is something that should be delt harshly. It's takes away from everybody who has ever served their country. Plus, for everybody that has made the ultimate sacrifice to this country. If YOU, where not man enough to serve then why, try to be man enough now, to fake it???

The probability of this being enforced is pretty low. This has been illegal for some time as a federal offense but there will always be someone willing to play semantics to get out of it. This E.O needs to be clear and concise to avoid further misrepresentation

I've met people wearing uniforms purchased at local surplus stores. Wearing them to get discounts at certain establishments.

Stolen Valor,
On the internet I deal with “Stolen Valor every Day from Military Romance scammers, Internet Predators and Terrorist, who steal Pictures of our Soldiers and Officers to hide behind in the attempt to steal and or disgrace out military and many times our Heroes.

The Denigration of a good Soldiers / Officers and the Military by these Internet Predators (Romance Scammers) and Terrorist, trying to make it seem our military are criminals stealing from the countries and people they are protecting. These Terrorist cannot defeat the Soldiers on the battlefield and now are using Military scams to destroy the reputations of our soldiers and officers.

These Terrorist are now physically Targeting the military and soldiers around the world. ISIS (An Islamic Terrorist Organization) is using Facebook to target our military personnel who have Facebook pages. All military personnel have been instructed to delete all military pictures. Supporter of ISIS have already carried out attacks in the United States, France, Canada and tied to in Australia.

Any anyone that says they are military on a social Media should be considered a scammer and Terrorist. This warning will also apply to us and Anti-Scam Hunters, as we are fighting these criminals and terrorist and they will try and stop us along with targeting the military and former military personnel.

Where do we start...

I agree with this bill. Military service is something that shouldn't be lied about.

Hooah about damn time is this in effect in all states and hopefully they raise the jail time to years not months

I actually pity those that are fake. I get that they want to be one of "us", but "us" are the ones that put in the time, sweat, tears and blood. For that the fakes are dead wrong and should be disciplined. It is up to "us" to maintain the bearing we were taught and deal with the fakes in a humane way. I suggest turning them in to the authorities.

Is this really a widespread issue? I've spotted fakes in seconds.
