Just wearing an LEO uniform is enough to receive special treatment, and be expected to carry a certain amount of responsibility, where as just saying you won a silver star is not necessarily.
I think people who lie about that stuff are terrible, useless people, don't get me wrong, and remember that it's all of ours right to out fakes just as much as it is theirs to be a fake.

There was recently a news clip about a guy that had a badge, uniform, unmarked car with lights etc who had been driving around and acting like a cop. No interaction just presence. and then another doing the same but stopped someone and the idiot called for backup. These are two type of LEO POSERS and they both were arrested. Uniformed LEO's get some special treatment at times well Military personnel also get special treatment depending where you are (discounts, line preference, Vet Benefits, Vet pref Hiring, etc) These SVA violators are usually more that just boasting to people, they have gained from their acts and that is criminal in may laws on the books. Do not just think of them as bar stool bull Sh$#t artist trying to get laid or a free drink. They are criminal's just like anyone who has stolen some ones identity or any con artist out there.
Just my 2 cents
