In America
[quote]In United States v. Alvarez the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on June 28, 2012, that the Stolen Valor Act was an unconstitutional abridgment of the freedom of speech under the First Amendment, striking down the law in a 6 to 3 decision.[/quote]
I love it when Australians claim that posing as a vet will get you jail time, as if Australian laws have jurisdiction outside their island. I think it's high time they learned that there is a world with different rules outside their little SJW bubble.
Disclaimer: I don't personally agree with posing as a vet, but I fully support the right of people to do so.
Edit: I made this post with the assumption that the poser wasn't going for government money etc etc

In America if you impersonate a veteran AND receive benefits for it, it is illegal.
