Years ago there were all these videos of people getting busted posing as military when they weren’t. Mostly right wing people I know on Facebook. There were lots of these videos. I couldn’t believe that THAT many people were trying to pull this off. Confrontations at airports and just in the street. Maybe when I was in the Army I might be able to tell something about the uniform was wrong but I really can’t imagine paying that much attention to someone. I never could tell if these videos were just staged or not.
