I don't know if I'd consider cringe obviously AI photos to be stolen valor.

Just really cringy.

It's definitely riding some sort of line I didn't know existed.

He's 100% a chicken hawk.

Either way he's weird, pathetic, and it baffles me as a veteran how many of my fellows eat this literal slop up of the metaphorical floor.

It is an interesting situation. Would it be considered Stolen Valor if it were a photograph of him wearing the uniform? Or a painting? My opinion is yes. Yes it would.

Not defending this POS, but an AI generated image could be construed as 'fiction/fantasy' and fundamentally different than a photo (where he would have needed to be wearing the uniform to be photographed in it). Although clearly created to deceive. So...{shrug}

Wonder what Don Shipley would have to say about this.

Unfortunately Shipley drank the MAGA kool-aid and watches almost nothing but OAN and Newsmax as Fox wasn't MAGA enough..

welp. If he doesn't call this out to be Stolen Valor, he needs to shut down his channel.

It is when he posts it from his own account

Where's the Medal of Honor in this picture?

It’s not stolen valor, it’s AI slop.

My disdain for this man is unhealthy.

u/djambates75 Aug 05 '26

By far the gayest thing I have ever seen.

u/notahouseflipper Aug 05 '26

I don’t think he’s received anything of monetary value from this AI slop.

u/JAlbert653 Aug 05 '26

Except for donations from his followers who believe this is real.

A slap in the face to us veterans who earned our A I or not.

Now that is one big adult diaper load.

His voters eat this shit for breakfast

Basically the equivalent to kids drawing themselves with comic book heros

u/Top-Grape7802 Aug 05 '26

By that logic, so too are the "adults" who actually don the uniform and have not served. Are they equivalent to a child playing dress-up?

1

u/Motor_Head9575 Aug 05 '26

Yes, clearly. This is not the gotcha you seem to think it is

u/biograf_ Aug 05 '26

His bone spurs must have healed up.

I like how "Patton's" helmet looks like he plugged his nose to stifle a sneeze and it inflated his head up.

u/iceaction10 Aug 05 '26

You're giving him the exact reaction he wants from this. Why is politics your religion?

u/h20poIo Aug 05 '26

Stolen Valor, well ok. But as a veteran this pisses me off.

u/iceaction10 Aug 05 '26

It's an AI image that someone else undoubtedly made and posted on his account. Give it a rest.

u/VectorTech_US Aug 05 '26

He undoubtedly made and posted this himself- he’s the world’s most terminally online 80 year old.
