FOB-ED: STOLEN VALOR

STOLEN VALOR

By Silvermane

   Those of us who have served in the military in the past, and those of us who are currently serving, know well the sacrifices that are asked of us. We often work long hours in dangerous conditions,  many times with little recognition. When we do receive awards and decorations, often bought through blood and strife, we therefore treasure them all the more.

   So it is upsetting and repugnant to us when we hear of someone wearing awards and decorations which they have not earned. This essay will explore some aspects of Stolen Valor, from a personal as well as a legal standpoint. We'll begin right after the break.
