Fake Military Shirts?!?!?

Question

started School Wednesday and the FIRST thing i see is a kid wearing what looks like a Marine Corps shirt but it was made "fashionable" i guess. i was absolutely DISGUSTED!

I'm writing an article about it in the news paper and i need a picture. does anyone know where i can get one?

and ASLO, what are your views on this, and fake uniforms in general? what would you do or say or feel? am i just completely insane for feeling this way?

Answer 1

Are you kidding if I got worked up over people wearing Tshirts or slapping stickers on their car I would have killed someone by now. Who cares why he's wearing it as long as he's not going around claiming he's a marine it could be for any purpose. Showing pride in just knowing a jarhead is not bad. I say **** it move on. Also are you in the corps? If not let the corps worry about it.

EDIT*

That's right now we are giving terrorist liberal jurys and court dates.

Answer 2

Calm down its just a shirt.  We in the Military are collectively pretty bad *** and as such people want to emulate us my little brother is in High School and wears my Old BDU jackets and black boots.

Wearing a full uniform with medals unit patches and insignia is unauthorized but it is rarely inforced.

Answer 3

He is a poser and posers are sad little boys who want people to look at them and say "Doesn't he look tough". Like I said. he's a poser. Blow him off and say to yourself "I will be a member of the United States Navy". He'll probably still be working at Walmart when he's 60.

Answer 4

Explain the shirt more in detail.. I don't understand, it could be bad or good. He could have a dad in the marines or something. If he's wearing it solely to look cool, slap him. What did the shirt look like?

Besides, who would want to be a jarhead. Rather be a squid myself.

Edit: He laughed because you were joining the Navy? Just tell him to recite this...

Marine= My *** Rides In Navy Equipment

Answer 5

The reason the military wears uniforms is so you can tell friend from foe.  But also so you can tell combatant from non-combatant.  The wearing of military style civilian clothes makes it harder to tell them apart.   It could be assumed that if a terrorist attack took place in the USA and a bunch of high school kids wearing quasi-military clothing got killed,  the terrorists could claim that they thought the kids were military.   It would be a lame excuse but it would still be an excuse that they could use.

And some bleeding heart liberal jury would buy it and let them go.  

Answer 6

If you are just talking about t-shirts here are a bunch of them.

They get purchased and worn by 16 year old kids, posers, wannabees, and veterans and active duty personnel. I have had requests from active duty army units, former Force Recon and former French Foreign Legion. Lots of people were this stuff and I wouldn't jump to any conclusions.

Answer 7

I'm assuming you mean not a Marine Corps t-shirt but an item of clothing that looked like a uniform item.  To me it depends, on any base you'll find little kids clothing that looks like many different Marine uniforms including Blues and I have no problem with that so how can I really say that a designer can't make something similar to the uniform.  I wonder if it had the EGA on it, that I think would be crossing the line.  I do have a problem with people wearing actual uniform items who have never earned them.
