Is it right for someone who hasn't served their country to impersonate another in this way?

I served four years in the coast guard, got a letter of commendation twice, good conduct, the other gimmies,\n\nthe only time i can see myself ever wearing that stuff again is like a memorial day parade if im asked to speak,\n\nsupposing there is someone with fake medals,  including those who did serve and have fake medals,\n\nis it wrong - probably, is it stupid - definately \n\nshould something be done - no, not worth the effort,\n\nthere are laws about the medal of honor, i dont know how hard that is to enforce

The United States allows people to sometimes pull up records of other people in the army. You may want to see his records if they allow this

A foreign national is someone who is a citizen of another country.

I see where you are coming from very clearly.   And I must say I agree with you completely.\n\nYou are asking us to put ourselves in the shoes of  people from other countries and ask ourselves, how would we like to be treated as we are treating people of other countries.  \n\nI would feel that I was being taken advantage of, humiliated and completely disrespected.  I would also feel someone was trying to take over my land and its resources as well as my way of life.  I would also be able to tell that they were hiding their true intentions behind things like democracy, and a war on terror.\n\nI would not be a happy camper and would probably resort to defending my honor and people against the invading force.\n\nI'm lucky I am not from another country !

While I like the idea of compulsory service in order to earn full citizenship, it should not be limited to military service.  Service to ones country can include, peace corp, volunteer work in under privilege communities, or dozens of other things.  Not everyone should be a soldier, but working in some capacity to make your country a better place to be should be required.

while your grandmother is committing a federal offense against a soldier during wartime.  If you have no proof, there is nothing you can do about past offenses. you could try to do some kind of sting operation and set her up. but the police would have to help you with that.

Yeah but do you not remember the war with England.\n\nBesides I got a french joke... There was this guy who arrived in france. The guy taking the passports asked him for his. He said he didn't have one. The french guy was like "that is iimpossible you always need a passport when you come to france. The guy said well on D-day there was no french go to show it too.

Wow, it sounds like this guy has a permanent stick up his ass, so I wouldn't worry about it if I were you.  If you are disciplined because of him, it is definitely a violation of your rights.  You can sit down or stand up whenever the hell you want.  People need to start worrying about themselves, especially when it comes to something like patriotism.  And for all of those people who say "get the hell out of this country," check yourself, please.

You don't need to feel about it either way because it is not true. There is a program that allows LEGAL residents to enter the military which can help speed up the path to citizenship. Fair enough deal, enter the country legally and perform such a service to the country and they should be citizens. What you are talking about is the newest rumor out there because of the immigration debate. Recently they found a girl who had bought fake identity papers in LA and joined the military. Apparently she did quite well in her job. She was found out because the person who's identity was stolen figured this out after 2 1/2 years through the social security office. They would always be found out that way with taxes and such especially in the military. But the do gooders and those with an agenda are saying that she shouldn't be prosecuted as she served in the military. Well it's the same with all of the rest of the issue. The key words are NOT LEGAL. No if's ands or buts.

No... when someone calls in reference to their employment you can't "slander" them. But if they ask, would you rehire them you can say NO! Or if they ask if they were on time... if they weren't you can say no to that also.

If there are any at all, their fake documents are very very good, and they have balls of steel.\n\nMore likely, the army would help them get legal residence.\n\nIn any event, if there were any, I'm for making them legal.

Depending on your training can determine what job you do get. But I wouldn't worry too much, people who've served their country often get jobs very easily because of that fact.

if you see someone stealing from another person you wouldn't ask this question. You are simply asking it because the government is such a financial titan that such "appropriation" won,t harm it. Still it is stealing. Do what is right and talk to you superiors about it immediately. GL

As far as I am aware - the only way that you can actually lose your US citizenship is if - in claiming the other citizenship - it was "performed voluntarily and with the intention of relinquishing U.S. citizenship."\n\nThis particular document seems to back that up when it points out: \n\n"a person who:\n\n(1) is naturalized in a foreign country; (2) takes a routine oath of allegiance or\n\n(3) accepts non-policy level employment with a foreign government\n\nand in so doing wishes to retain U.S. citizenship need not submit prior to the commission of a potentially expatriating act a statement or evidence of his or her intent to retain U.S. citizenship since such an intent will be presumed."\n\nYou can read the whole thing here: http://travel.state.gov/law/citizenship/citizenship_778.html :-)

Not a Muslim, but I've seen the impersonation before, and it is usually so transparent.  I "called" someone on it just the other night, telling them I didn't believe they were Muslim, rather impersonating one to try and give Muslims a bad name.\n\nThanks for the tips!

Possibly .. I mean, here we have a solider who is going into a battle front and he may/may not be wounded, shot down, captured, all of the above, I personally want to thank him for defending our freedom's but as you can see this might have a "unfortunate" outcome. It is nice that you found someone that admires you and you him, just keep in mind of the possibilities that await you and all of the other families that have loved ones in Iraq right now. I don't want to tell you this is wrong or try to "throw salt" on the game in any way. BY ALL MEANS keep in touch with him he will need the correspondence, and if you "solider boy" make it back home, take some time to thank him properly.

I'd wonder what was wrong with his own country that he feels the need to serve another one in the military.  Then I'd wonder if he had a incorrect view of this country's military.  It isn't all glamorous like the commercials say, and there is certainly nothing wrong with serving your own country honorably.
