Ref: Stolen Valor Act of 2013The Stolen Valor Act of 2013 (Pub.L. 113–12; H.R. 258) is a United States federal law that was passed by the 113th United States Congress. The law amends the federal criminal code to make it a crime for a person to fraudulently claim having received any of a series of particular military decorations and awards with the intention of obtaining money, property, or other tangible benefit from convincing someone that he or she rightfully did receive that award.

Yes, "gunny," I was a real soldier. As in: Actually served in the U.S. military? And while my service wasn't particularly notable, I did serve and have known many solders whose service was meritorious, so I take offence by those making false claims. I'm not going to pursue this, but, keep it up and eventually somebody else might.
