I understand that this kind of thing would be offensive to career military folk, but I did find part of the description somewhat mitigating for the "Sargent Colonel." It says:

Props to this camera-man for not losing his mind. He clearly knows that there is something mentally wrong with this guy, and he follows our advice fully. This is the exact kind of video evidence you need to build a case against someone under the Stolen Valor Act.

Assuming the guy hosting the video on his YouTube channel knows what he's talking about, I don't think the Sargent Colonel should be prosecutable under the Stolen Valor Act, because I think it's obvious as well that the guy is a mental case. It's difficult for me to get mad at people whose brains aren't working right, a lesson I learned after many years of being mad at my mentally ill sister right up until she killed herself and left no way to ever come to a mutual understanding of how sick she was. I can never look at a mentally ill person without being reminded that I held my sister's illness against her for all of our adult lives, and I was wrong for doing that, and she'll never know that I sincerely came to that conclusion. Somewhere the guy in that video has family who worries about him, but is so conflicted over how to deal with him that they just have to leave him to his own devices, or go crazy themselves from frustration and failure in trying.

This guy and his family needs prayers, not prosecution. At least that's my take.

Agreed. However every one of the fakes miss one very important medal. CMH. I have yet to see one on a fake. If I were to do such a thing I would go all out.

(Here is a little test. I am an ex-marine who won the CMH. [Another fun one is to go into a gun shop, ask for an assault rifle with a 30 round clip])
