'Fake' army ranger busted getting a Starbucks discount in uniform

Another man has been sprung impersonating an army officer - possibly to get a discounted coffee - after being confronted by an actual veteran.

Christian Parmer, 21, a former U.S. Army Combat Engineer, told The Daily Mail he was at Fresno International Airport on Monday going through security when he noticed the apparent officer sitting down drinking a Starbucks.

What stood out to Parmer was the fact the man had his hat on inside - which is against protocol -and he informed a police officer who was walking by.

'I just knew he wasn't military, but I could hear him talking about being in the EOD,' Parmer said.

A discount at Starbucks is still more than most places charge for coffee.

Not at all what I gleamed from 11:39's comment. Maybe if you had served, you'd get it.

I HAVE served. What that has to do with shooting someone impostering a service member is beyond me. Public shaming or even an ass kicking is more of a fitting punishment that shooting him.

Maybe you need to find that 'mean switch' and turn it off. It is not warranted in this case.
