An Army veteran's story of how he got kicked out of an Old Navy store has gone viral on Facebook and across the Internet.
Aaron Bennett says he was at the Old Navy location in Orange Park when he saw an employee wearing a dark green Marine Corps dress jacket.
"Had rank on the side, couple rows or ribbons and a weapons badge," Bennett said.
In addition to being a veteran, Bennett comes from a military family and knows that the United States Code makes it illegal "to falsely represent oneself as having received any U.S. military decoration or medal."
Bennett said he told the store manager and was then approached by a deputy and mall security, who told him he was banned from the store.
The story of Bennett's incident was posted on the Stolen Valor website, a site dedicated to making sure the American military uniform is honored. Bennett said he was trying to do just that when he got kicked out.
Is there a TWL admin working there as well. I hear they ban for no reason _______________________________________________________________
"If guns kill people then spoons make us fat!"
Being a poser faggot doesn't mean he was actually trying to impersonate the military. Kid probably wasn't actually trying to pass himself off as military.
Either way, let's be honest, getting banned from old navy only stands to improve your stabding in fashion world.
Could we call his being banned from the store a dishonorable discharge?
Just further proof that nobody sincerely gives a shit about our troops, this dick fuck who kicked him out, not to mention the poser wearing the jacket, probably both have yellow ribbons on their vehicles in the parking lot.
The world is riddled full of so many glorious contradictions. Post edited by Mockery at 6/22/2012 2:00:51 PM

Then the irony would be complete.

The guy that got kicked out served to defend their right to be jackasses.
Id say it was more like an honerable discharge, he got kicked out for sticking up for traditional values. Post edited by Buzzed at 6/22/2012 6:17:05 PM

Please wear a police uniform, with realistic looking sidearm, around your local shopping center. Hat, badge, handcuffs, baton, pepper spray...the whole 9 years...anything and everything you can find to look as authentic as possible. Then try McDonald's, find a Dunkin Doughnuts....or try the public park.
See how far you get. Don't talk to anyone, don't try stupid shit like trying to write a ticket or search someone. But just try it.
Oh, and when you do, make sure someone is there to video your defense, "It's just a costume".
Now, after your arrested and go before the judge, you can cite the vet as precedence...proving there is no discernible difference. A uniform is a costume and a costume is a uniform.
Go get em Champ! ______________________________________________________________________
