you’ve provided an attorney’s interpretation of the law. the exact text of the stolen valor act is:
“Whoever, with intent to obtain money, property, or other tangible benefit, fraudulently holds oneself out to be a recipient of a decoration or medal described in subsection (c)(2) shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than one year, or both.”
rank is not included in “decoration or medal” this. i’ve included a screenshot directly from a government website of the exact language of the stolen valor act.
in regards to your provision of the 600-8-19 regulation, that’s military regulation and ethics. not the stolen valor act…
so like, what i’m saying is he didn’t violate the stolen valor act
this is literally an ethical debate, not a violation of a criminal code. as i’ve said, mountain out of a mole hill
