And it's not a federal offense anymore.

(14,530 posts)6. Stolen valor and yes, it qualifies.
Stolen Valor" is a term applied to the phenomenon of people falsely claiming military awards or badges they did not earn, service they did not perform, Prisoner of War experiences that never happened, and other tales of military derring-do that exist only in their minds.
Some phonies, with zero military experience, create their stories from whole cloth.
Others, having served an honorable but peaceful stint in the military, choose to embellish their records and spice up an otherwise unremarkable career.
Yet others, who are legitimate combat veterans some of whom were decorated for bravery also embellish an already-impressive military resume.
The common thread is that these folks are lying in public about their military service. Its nothing new there are stories going back many centuries of people boasting of their war record, and sooner or later are found to be lying.
