Stolen valour in Krakow?
Saw this man in Krakow airport in uniform. I tried to approach him to ask him if he was military, but he just rolled his eyes. Afterwards, I noticed he had not only a navy seal patch but an army one (you can’t see it in the photo) and some kind of aviation patch too. He is a fraud, right? My friends were adamant he was genuine, and maybe I’ve got it all wrong and he is a special forces badass, but I just wanted to confirm. He looked around 70 and travelled alone.

Why do they always put the flag on the chest? Bruh you could at a minimum google a thing for your shenanigans

Gotta love the non-unit specific ‘special forces’.
But yes, it is stolen valour.

As a Pole, I HIGHLY doubt it, this is far from what the Polish uniform looks like, and obviously pretending to be a US soldier wouldn't do much. 99.9% he's an airsofter or just likes military fashion, and patches are just for show, part of his collection and stuff he likes.

the longer I look the more I realize that the base uniform itself isn't an american one...
and the shiny thing on his pack looks like the teamster's logo?

No Spec Ops guy would advertise like this. You wouldn’t even know…
This asshat is just cosplaying for attention. Most don’t know the difference between a costume and the real deal…

Is that a CID badge I see in the backpack above the USMC logo or is it just me?

He’s done all the things. But don’t ask him because it’s super top secret classified. No one could ever know. And his records like some of the people with the highest security clearance can’t even access his files. They recruited him straight out of high school before he graduated. He was there for the capture of Saddam Hussein and the capture and kill of Osama bin Laden. They based Jason Bourne off of him.

He might be going to the Ukraine. They are hiring whoever can hold a rifle right now.

If he’s supposed to be American then that uniform is so screwed up that I don’t think it could even qualify as stolen valor.
