Jim has talked about stolen valor many times on the show and here is an example for why we need harsher penalties for those who pose as present or former military servicemen and women.

Above is a video of a former Army medic Garrett Goodwin confronting a panhandler dressed in Army uniform in Tampa, Florida. Goodwin asks for the panhandler's military id card, which the man cannot produce. Goodwin catches on quickly that this person is a fake. Goodwin even goes back a second time to lace into the panhandler and this time, really puts the guy in his place.

Thanks to Mr. Goodwin for doing what he did and a special thank you to him for his service as well.
