Are you talking about ....

- Battle reenactments?
- 19 year olds who dress up wearing a Captain's rank insignia in the completely wrong positions and wearing 50 ribbons on their chest, 49 of which are from other services?
- Halloween?

This is the only one that's disrespectful, so context is indeed important here.

Never understood why so many vets get overly triggered by this and stolen valor then post these obnoxious videos of themselves harassing and assaulting the people. I understand it if some jerk is doing it to gain some monetary benefit or pick up chicks, but 90% of the time its either kids are in JROTC or someone in their family gave them the uniform. Or someone who's not mentally all there yet loves military stuff.

There's an inherent amount of trust afforded by the general public to people in uniformed services, such as firefighters, police officers ... and the military. So while 90% of those people wearing ACUs with Marine Corps rank insignia probably aren't doing anything terribly offensive, the fact is they are putting themselves in a position to take advantage of that public trust.

I would feel the same way if I saw a non-cop wearing a police uniform.
