Stolen Valor Act

[Lallans]

Sad that there are enough people telling lies that a law would have to be written in the first place. It's been my experience that the people who tell a lot of stories(with the exception of the funny stories) are usually full of it. They're easy to spot anyhow...they were usually a SEAL, Ranger, etc. {snip} .

In the day, my student years, US Vietnam War deserters arriving in Canada would almost invariably claim to have been 'UDT,' which I guess was a weird early tribute to the Seals. Weird, because the same deserters were simultaneously claiming to be pacifists who would also claim they had (as often as not) done such things as run antiwar underground newsletters in places like Fort Dix.
