disrespect for the uniform
I am sending a link to a newspaper article about an escort service in Dallas that dresses up 15 yr.old boys in dress blues and rents them out to the fathers of mexican girls for their birthday parties.I remember in boot camp I was told that wearing a Marine Corps uniform had to earned.If wearing the uniform wasn't bad enough they have spiked hair and earings and tennis shoes.Go to www. youtube.com and do a search for sweet sensations and you can see videos.I have emailed headquarters Marine Corps,and this web page, and have talked to a Sgt.Melvin Lopez at the Dallas recruiters office and I havn't gotten a reply of any kind from anyone.Am I the only one in this country that thinks this **** is wrong?I would really like to hear from someone.I think if you see someone in a Marine uniform you should know for sure that they are a Marine and not just any *******!! http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcont...2.4d63843.html jwh44@verizon.net

Isn't it against the law to wear military uniforms unless you are in the military or have been in the military? I seem to recollect that a couple of years ago a man was arrested and charged with impersonating a Marine, up in the D.C. area.

it is only if they say they are or were Marines. Now if they wear ribbons or medals then yes they can get in trouble

I live here in Dallas Tx and i have seen it with my own eyes the uniforms that they wear are for littile girls that turn 16 its called a quinceta i dont know if i spelled that right. Anyways they are dress blues with no medals and they have been wearing it for years. Im pretty sure its not going to stop so all you can really do is just get upset.

I think it is against the law to "impersonate" a military person, but it's not a crime to be an idiot. I would hope somebody in the kid’s chain of command would know better, but you can’t throw them in jail for it. Heck, they bought them from a military surplus store that purchased them from some base auction, or some moron that traded them in for some beef jerky.
I wonder what the reaction would be if some hot chic, say Paris Hilton,,,, I wonder if Paris Hilton was laying there wearing Dress Blues with her pants down to her cankles and the coat open. What would you say then?
I think it's really about the intent. A poser, that's a different story and I have no problem seeing the Stolen Valor Act thrown at them.
In a perfect world the only ones that should wear them are the few and the proud who earned the right.
I ever tell you guys about the girl in Greece that I had wearing my Dress Blues, she was from Sweden..... mmmmm

Couple months ago downtown Portland saw a skinny hipster kid standing on a corner wearing the Alpha with CPL chevrons and baggy shorts. He shoved some kind of greenpeace flyer towards me and i just eyeballed him and said 'Semper Fi'...Corporal? He gave me a sideways sheepish grin and said, yeah whatever. I shook my head cracked my knuckles and kept walking.

I went to Lake Highlands my 10th grade year. Like i said earlier all you can really do is get upset. If they were burning dress blues then i might be inclined to take a more serious approach to the situation.
Think of it this way we have the most stylish uniform Period. Fashion wise today you see all types of people wearing Marine uniforms from rappers to preps. Think about it thats free advertisment. I dont see anyone wearing other branches.
Any comments Gents...............

Was he stationed at HQMC? I remember a Sgt. Melvin Lopez from there whom I think worked in the Pentagon. I know they were flagging Sergeants for recruiting duty around that time, so I guess it's possible he was flagged for it, unless he volunteered on his own. Anyway, just curious if this is the same buy a buddy and I would shoot the sh*t with from the A-ring at the 'gon.
