[Dianne]

In addition to the [Stolen Valor] Act of 2013 (Federal law), Stolen Valor (Urban Dictionary) also encompasses the flaunting of prior peacetime military service (by way of hat/cap or other military garb), in order to obtain undeserved [social benefits] and/or in order to seek admiration, act cool, or be macho. Example: When a prior peacetime service member contracts a serious, sometimes-fatal disease, caused by prior [intravenous], illicit drug use and thereafter that service member deceitfully obtains disability benefits from the U.S. Government and later uses a Disabled Vet license plate in order to park in handicapped spaces, when that individuals physical limitations are not impaired whatsoever.
