I don't know, I thought the SAS badge was a nice touch.

If he ever gets to prison on that conviction he'll probably be the star of many shower parties with the Grizzly Twins. Wonder if he'll get a medal for that service...maybe with a cluster.

Most possers miss out on listing the Pathfinder Badge. I kinda like how it holds up the rows of ribbons. Well done!
Cool beard and 'Sole Patch'.

No tabs...wimp.... 
You'd think he'd have at least a Sapper Tab and President's Hundred...and of course a Ranger Tab, SF Tab and Honor Guard tab would complete the ensemble...he has everything else the PX sells...

Serious fashion statement! Love the whiskers.
Somebody should have told him The Deer Hunter wasn't a documentary.

I just got one of those catalogs too. Never ordered it. 
Nice display cases.

lol at the goatee and the SAS badge.
What a loser. All he had to do was shave and remove some of the medals and he may have gotten away.

I disagree...shave, lose the medals he didn't earn, wear the rank he did and he gets away with it, because he has done nothing wrong...who the hell wants to be a general anyway?

probably not. downgrading himself from Flag Officer status probably would've helped as well.
I'm not saying it would be morally right for him to play dress up as long as he did it with less medals and shaved, we all know it's wrong whether you wear one unearned decoration or a chest full of them.
However I was just commenting that his chances of being caught would've been much lower had his uniform not been so over the top.
