Why is it when someone steals valor, they don't claim to be a cook or a mechanic? It's always Delta or Seal Team 6. "I was in the FBI."


Anyone encountered a liar like that?

I killed fiddy men

impersonating a highspeed combat vet > a national guard cook

Somehow this is a believable thing. Name checks out and all.

I'd believe you more if you just told me you were a cook. You tell me you're CAG or DEVGRU, I am pretty much calling you a liar face at that point.

absolutely, but most of these people who impersonate vets are severely mentally ill and it seems they like the cool guy factor associated with it and don't possess enough self-awareness to realize nobody in those units would ever be doing what they're doing lol

I’m a dishwasher I did 2 tours of duty in Applebees Thank me for my service

I cleaned fiddy washer loads of plates

This Pork Chop Platoon Ranger is a classic.

I knew a guy that does. He somehow got some Marine combat veteran stickers for his truck. Strangers tell him thanks for his service all the time. His story is that he was "special ops". I don't know if he's ever been called out on it by a real veteran.

Funny thing is he is (I think he still is) actually a federal agent that sits behind a desk all day. Uses his security clearance to stalk girls he's interested in.

I’m gonna have to ask you to delete this thread son

My buddies used to tell chicks we were a soccer team sometimes when we went out to the bars in our 20's. No idea why, none of us played or liked soccer, but those assholes stole some soccer valor. We also used to make up terrible shots, give them names and try to get other people in the bars to order them. Vodka and Jager we called "the full Collins" clearly after the Genesis drummer. That's the only one I clearly remember.

That’s wild. There are people out there with Bronze Stars for valor claiming they earned a Silver Star. I mean the BS for valor is awesome in and of itself. If I’m a federal agent of any sort, I feel like that would be a cool story to tell people.

Lol, the Full Collins. I might somehow try to work that into a causal conversation.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.

when will it be my turn ?

They're saying to try to sound cool/ important/ tough, etc.

Pushing a mop or being kitchen help isn't really prestigious stuff

I was the bassist in The Kooks. Srs.

Why do vets even get discounts in the first place? Like congratulations you feel for the propaganda wanted to die for Israel

Some old fucker at Lowes was demanding his the other day. I don't think the guy knew where he was, but he damn well wanted his veterens discount. Meanwhile I'm standing behind him waiting to return some shit because he went to check out at customer service instead of the checkout lanes.

It’s 10% percent off but caps at $400/yr

Barely takes the tax off

Some webistes have a promo code section for discounts. on many of them you can put "military" and get an automatic discount. My bro who was in the Navy does that, but i never do becasue it is stolen valor to me.

Pretending to be a SEAL, Delta, DEVGRU, etc is not stolen valor.

Thanks for coming to my ted-talk.

Probably to stop them from realizing that and getting nothing in return. The resentment caused is mitigated by little discounts and getting told they're heroes

How many limbs did you lose after all those fires in the kitchen?

Legal definition or Supreme Court ruling aside, it’s gay.

I thought any non-military who pretends to be any kind of soldier is what stoeln valor is...

It is literally just more propaganda lol.

“Look at us, we support the effort and the institution.“

It is virtue signaling and marketing.


Just like when businesses put “in god we trust” on their signs. They don’t give a shit. It is for the algorithm. It is all always for the algorithm.

I be taking those discounts tho.

I knew a guy who washed dishes on a navy ship. he said if a dish was too hard to clean he'd just throw it overboard


you ever do that?

Lmao, any advantage you can get. Remember my half italian/swedish friend back home showed me how to set the sambuca shot on fire in your mouth. So I brought that to TX, and never saw other ppl do it really. So was a neat party trick. Got thrown out once for doing it there tho.

Then my best party friend at the time was from minnesota so he brought it there and had ppl starting doing it lol.

Funniest thing was a buddy doing it when too drunk, spilling sambuca all over over himself and basically set himself on fire.
