There’s Fake And Then There’s Army Fake
The most troubling thing other then this prick thinking he can get away with this, is that he bought his uniform on line. Red flags here folks.

Phony Hartford Soldier Charged With Larceny
November 21, 2008
WEST HARTFORD - Police arrested an 18-year-old man who was posing as a U.S. Army sergeant while attempting to cash a check for $40,000 at a bank on South Main Street Thursday afternoon.
Orlando Ramos-Cabrera, of Hartford, was wearing a uniform he bought online, police said. He had also just purchased a 2008 Dodge Charger from a dealership in East Hartford with a phony check.
He is charged with first-degree larceny and illegal use of a uniform.
Police were dispatched at 4:06 p.m. to TD Bank North on a report of fraud in progress. Ramos-Cabrera was there in full uniform with “Special Forces” and “Cavalry” patches.
He identified himself as a sergeant in the U.S. Army. But police officers who are military veterans quickly recognized Ramos-Cabrera was a fake, police said. The Dodge, parked in front of the bank, was seized as evidence.
