ZERT Coffee & Chaos 93 – From Heroes to Impostors: The Stolen Valor Epidemic

The issue of stolen valor is a sad fact of reality and has been around for quite some time.  Seeing it first hand in the firearms industry is always sad as some of the greatest people we are connected with are Veterans.  With the ever growing popularity of “cool guy” things being taught to civilians across America it opens the door to regular guys making claims that they have done more during their service than they really have.  This has been highlighted in the last week and half after an individual’s book was scrutinized and actions being written in the book seemed farfetched. The Veteran community deems it necessary to police their own and call out the bad actors.  It seems unnecessary in certain situations because the person never needed to embellish their service.  Thanks for listening and give us some feedback.
