/k/, my granddad was a SOG man in Vietnam. He died before I was born. I am getting a Tiger Stripe M-65 jacket with an Old Blue patch to sew on the side. I will be putting on the left shoulder to signify it is retired. Will this make me look stolen valor? Pic related

Forgot to add, I am doing this to honor his memory.
Also fucked up, putting on right shoulder to signify it is retired.

Pretty sure people won't think you're a vet from a unit that hasn't been around since the 70's. Even if they do tell them to fuck off and that it was your grandfathers.

Who cares, if anyone gives you shit jam the bones of there nose into their brain with the heel of your hand then cut off their right ear

That's what I was thinking. I just know there are some faggots out there who will do that kind of shit.
>You will never be a SOG Operator
>You will never fend off a fucking battalion sized assault on your own to save the rest of your 6 man recon squad, deep in enemy territory, while already being shot through the chest
>You will never get the Medal of Honor for said heroics
>You will never go on a shit ton of random ass adventures in Vietnam

True, but those are the guys who wear full out shit. If you're just some young dude/older man wearing a sick tiger stripe M65 jacket it shouldn't be an issue. Most people that would know anything anyway would be able to tell you're not trying to be a stolen valor nut. Also if it's legit your grandfather was SOG, any cool stories/pics?

No pics, but he did tell my father one story.
>"dad can you please tell me something about what you did while you were gone?"
>"alright son, this is the only thing I will ever tell you."
>in rice field behind enemy lines in Cambodia
>6 man recon team
>start being shot at by gooks
>bullets tearing rice to shreds
>haul ass to deep jungle
>still being shot at
>one-one gets shot, fatally
>no one knows how we will be able to destroy any traces of his face/dental records
>grandad has a single M34 White Phosphorus
>places M34 on 1-1s neck
>burns his entire face off, including teeth
>got out of there
my dad never asked about Vietnam again.

>>30772334
Well shit. Talk about problem solving on the fly.

>>30772382
1-0 was squad leader, 1-1 was the second in command and also held the radio if I remember correctly.
>>30772334
