A federal appeals court on Monday tossed out a veteran's conviction for wearing military medals he didn't earn, saying it was a form of free speech protected by the Constitution.

And then that judge, on one of his "Escort" runs, finds out to late his date is a tranny. Cause Karma's a bitch.
So, anyone that works in a court house can claim to be a judge. Freedom of speech and all of that.
Just my luck. This happens too late for me to pick-up women with medals I didn't earn. :( On the other hand, just cause some judge says it's OK doesn't mean you won't get your ass whipped by a Vet for doing it. 8)
I think that if you end up 'profiting' from it - someone buys you a drink thinking you're a veteran - that you can still be prosecuted under fraud laws.
Personally, I'm gratified that there are so many people out there that think playing dress up as a member of my profession will get them esteem/laid/free drinks/whatever :).
Seriously, a few nut jobs out there wearing awards they didn't earn in no way dilutes the value of the award.

Don't worry Gus. I don't masquerade as an army officer, just as a competent one ;).

Sequentially, in reverse order.
