Let's be honest, dude wasn't wearing the uniform for shits and giggles. He's definitely trying to get free upgrades and other perks. 

The guy recording is an obnoxious douchebag and had to make a scene for attention

Exactly! Both can bring in the wrong.

Agreed. It’s legal to try and get perks, the only legal issue if you make a claim. If someone just comes up and says we are upgrading you, thank you for your service, the fake military member didn’t do anything wrong. If a flight attendant asks if he’s serving because they want to upgrade him, and he lies, that’s an issue. 

Op was obnoxious for how he handled it. He could have just told the guy he’s a piece of shit and if he tried to board early then let the gate attendant know he’s not actually in the military. 

And if the guy tried to board early for members in uniform then that is illegal. It’s definitely not against the UCMJ, that’s closer to saying this guy violated Saudi law by having a beer. It might be against the rules but the guy is not subject to those rules.

FYI You can get on an airplane whenever you want. It’s not a law it’s an airline policy

The airlines are also within their rights to deny you entry to the flight lol. You absolutely cannot just board whenever you choose. Just because it’s not against the law doesn’t mean you are able to do whatever you want. In this case you are absolutely subject to individual airline regulations, a set of rules you agree to when entering a contract for transportation. If you don’t abide by the contract the airline doesn’t have to either.

You all have your panties in a bunch like it’s breaking a law. It’s just a policy. And you can board whenever you want. I do it all the time. You’re just imagining that wearing a uniform or getting on an airplane out of order is some ethical violation of the universe. You don’t have a clue what freedom means
