If you were sane, Sybil, you would know that it's a federal offense to impersonate a federal officer. This is why most Stolen Valor douchebags impersonate enlisted personnel. But you aren't sane, are you, son? You're just a sad, old, crazy man.

To report someone impersonating a federal officer, you can:

Submit a tip to the FBI at tips.fbi.gov or by calling 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324)

  • Report the crime to your local FBI field office
  • Report the crime to the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) at ic3.gov
  • Report fraud against the federal government to the Inspector General for the defrauded agency
  • File a “qui tam” action in federal court pursuant to the False Claims Act
Impersonating a federal officer is a crime that can include:
  • Falsely representing oneself as a federal agent or employee
  • Intending to intimidate or deceive another person
In Texas, impersonating a public servant is a third degree felony that can result in up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.

Dont know, but a guy on my grapevine was recently talking about "The Package".....guys who agreed to do tours in Nam leading combat units were told before they went that so long as there were no major problems they would get The Package, which included metals.

Call the Goons! Call the Goons!
 
The point is that never before this in American military history have guys gotten these metals for doing so little, never before were medals routine compensation......this was extreme medal inflation, which has only gotten worse.

Never heard of anything like that.
 
I seldom remember names of speakers because I dont care much if at all after I establish credibility....but in this case it was Ray Mcgovern who taught me about The Package.....99%.

There ARE still some of us veterans that take that oath to heart and will still defend the CONSTITUTION from ALL enemies from out and from in.

This is the enlisted oath:

"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."

This is the officer oath:

"I, _____ (SSAN), having been appointed an officer in the _____ (Military Branch) of the United States, as indicated above in the grade of _____ do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign or domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter; So help me God."

I took the enlisted oath, being enlisted. As a retiree, I am no longer subject to obeying the orders of the President nor any serving officer in the military nor am I subject to the UCMJ. The same holds true for anyone who was enlisted and subsequently was discharged from military service. That is to say, once you retire OR are discharged from service, you are no longer subject to that oath.

Now, the officer oath is lifetime unless you resign your commission. If you do so, you are no longer subject to the oath as you are no longer an officer.
