    Agree 100%

    Even further, when I got out of the service in the early 70's, young kids draped in military gear and talking the talk as if they served, which they didn't. used to disgust me. ...still does.

    I feel the same about the NYFD/PD gear that's become popular since 9/11

    Yup yup to the sentiments of both these gentlemen. Wearing them would be disrespectful and IMO a false statement of accoomplishment or association.

    I extend this line of thinking to hi-end consumer products as well. Every once in a while you'll see see some douchebag wearing a Porsche hat while climbing into a Monte Carlo...harharhar...duuuude. Pathetic.
    So, I broke into the palace
    With a sponge and a rusty spanner
    She said : "Eh, I know you, and you cannot sing"
    I said : "That's nothing - you should hear me play piano"

    I agree with the previous comments. I have not served my country as a member of the military. I would not wear anything that might lead someone to believe I served. Of course I am from the days when they did ask and I would have told. Oh and I am so far from a Seal when it comes to physical fitness that I would be better off wearing walrus gear.
