I have repeatedly seperated the ideas of bragging about something and actually wearing the ribbon.
I see the difference between the two.
Do you?
Yes, there’s a difference between wearing a ribbing and simply bragging about having one. I see the difference but I don’t see how wearing a symbol is itself criminal. If that symbol was purchased legally, the fake war hero is a legal owner of it. If they wear it without attempting to gain something tangible, then it’s the same thing as you displaying a home-made shirt with a trademarked symbol on it. You can do that. It’s legal.
