I wore my dad's Army hat when I was little. Is that okay with you, OP? I was issued butterbars when I worked security. I hope I didn't offend you too much. I shot an M-16 a couple of times. Hope that wasn't over the line. I have an old Marine desert Marpat uniform that was given to me by a retired Master Sergeant. I wore it while we played on the same team in an Airsoft event. Now I feel terrible. Hope he didn't think I was a poser 
I have dogtags and Danners too. I've worn them around soldiers but they didn't say anything. I even wore them around lots of soldiers In Afghanistan but they didn't say anything about posing so maybe they didn't notice. 
Bite me. Dog tags?!? Why would you have a pair (medical tags excluded)? You sound like a dork not poser. |

I went to a Civil War reenactment and saw lots of guys wearing Union and Confederate uniforms, and I'm pretty sure none of them actually served in the war. Went to the Battle of Aiken earlier this year, and some of the union soldiers we spoke with were active duty Army. Maybe they can get a pass. I spoke with an STS1 (sonar tech submarines) on the USS Constitution. He didn't wear his dolphins on his old school uniform.

No. Old BDU pants make good work wear. My Mom used to wear an old boonie hat to work in the garden. Same thing with hunters,etc out in the field.
I have no issues with anyone who's not an obvious poser wearing some old milsurp. |

I believe it is indicative of the type of "service" people are signing up for these days. The majority are signing up for a good paying job, training, free education, health benefits and "disability". Then expect everyone to kiss their ass for "serving." Honestly who cares about people faking military service for some BS recognition or a 10% discount? And really, those types do represent a good percentage of the military who are essentially FSA. |

Do not agree about that. However when you start wearing ranks and insignias is when I draw the line. Unless they are of your own design and organization.
I was in civil air patrol so it does at least make me feel better when I wear the uniform that I know how to wear it properly. Quote HistoryQuoted:

So you call people out, but hide behind you're little tank icon when you get called out. Not everyone wants or needs that little icon just because they served. I'm sorry that you need it to be "legit." |

What?
So, if I wear some nice Danner boots for work I'm a poser? Uh, no...just no. Multicam was popular in the civilian sector for years and years before the US Army decided to start making the switch. So, everyone who purchased anything Multicam now has to send it all to Goodwill? Screw that. USAF issues New Balance tennis shoes. Is everyone who wear NB shoes a poser? If a service branch decides to issue Nikes does that mean I can't wear Nikes? Screw that. OP, you went off the rails with that post. Think before you use the broadest brush in the world and declare something silly. |
