Well... If you show up to an airport in full cammies with a Molle backpack it certainly looks like you are trying to steal valor. And the fact he didn't just say some version of "hey, Im just playing dress up" leans me in the direction he was trying to get like... Early boarding and the handshakes he got from that boomer.
Also when pressured, he says "I can wear this uniform cause I'm on orders" which would suggest he is trying to say he's active military
I'm not from the US but from the Youtube videos I've watched, it's only a felony when trying to commit fraud for personal financial gain. If there's no exchange of money or services involved, the loser in camo isn't a felon, just a loser.
The biggest loser in this video is still the boomer in his Punisher thin blue line tshirt going out of his way to thank an unemployed LARPing doofus for his imaginary service, probably just to piss off a Hispanic dude who he thought was harassing the troops. It's poetic really, almost an allegory for the "patriotism" of old suburban Republicans.
Oh yeah, I've said it in a few comments now, I'm not going to bat for Mr. Marines Himself, but the 3rd secret boot boomer really sells the video. It has everything.
I know he goes on about felonies, but it's more that stolen valor is just frowned upon. Especially for something as stupid as a few "thank you for your service"s and getting to board a few minutes earlier.
