Video: Two men call out man they say is a veteran imposter

ExploreTrending on Facebook

From Rare.us: A video appeared online Sunday of which two Marines, perhaps retired, grill a man who they believe is an impostor.

At first, the conversation remains cordial as the three men leave a military funeral.

Eventually the Marines catch the man in one too many lies, ranging from mismatched medals and ribbons, to not knowing proper uniform code. Throughout the conversation the man alternatively refers to himself as a sergeant major, military policeman and special forces operative.

“You know that’s called false valor? It is a federal crime for you to be wearing that uniform,” one of the Marines asks the faker, to which he could only respond with a series of expletives.

The video claims to have been shot over the weekend in West Palm Beach, Florida.
