Walking through the mall today I saw a fellow decked out in military stuff.  His accessories included a camo jacket, camo pants, a camo hat,  and even dog tags.  The hat even said South Pole on it.

Is it "pimp" to impersonate our serviceman?  Do they think they are cool?  I think anyone who has enough balls to walk around in full military camo, including dog tags, should be thrown into the military.

It would not have been as bad if it wasn't for a number of things.  One of these being dog tags, this kinda pissed me off.  They are used to identify dead soldiers, and this ... imbecel(sp) ... wears them thinking they are "bling".  If he actually wore his hat right, not backwards and tilted back, but frontwards and on strait.  If his jacket was actually made of stuff the military uses, not some cheap crap.

Edit* Thinking back, I guess it all made me about equally mad.

Yea, I hardly doubt anybody would walk around in full dress with dog tags for no apparent reason. He was probbally involved with the ROTC or Reserves.

I wear dogtags every day of my life. They were my dead grandfathers. Are you going to get mad at me? If so kill yourself...

In fact, you just offended me and I don't like it.

I think wearing cloths that make you look like you are enlisted when your not is disrespecting the soldiers that protect you is disrespectfull but wearing dog tags is understandable

I think that wearing dogtags if your not in the military is dierespectful. BUT, if you are wearing a dead friend or family members tags its ok. I also think walking around in full camo and such is disrespectful. Id have shot him right there if he was wearing dress blues and wasnt enlisted. That is serious disrespect.
