I know a veteran quite well and some years back he scoured the second hand shops looking for medals to wear,yes he is a veteran of the vietnam conflict and does deserve the medals that he earned there,but not the others he wears,he was even kicked out of the drill hall mess one anzac day because he made out that he done things in vietnam that he didnt!!.
sadly he thinks the rules dont apply to him and he can do what he likes,he just doesnt care. Of course everyone elses opinion of him is at the least VERY LOW.

Be careful when challenging someone over their medals. This last fall, there was a major $hitstorm on a Facebook forum for veterans and serving members. A photo was posted of a middle aged fellow attending a small town 11 Nov parade. The collective wisdom (or in this case hysteria) couldn't identify half of his medals, and jumped to the conclusion that he was a fraud. A few more careful fellows did some photo-interp, and someone else put a name to the man. The case was solved, and all ranks were told to dummy up and stand down.
It seems he is a Reserve officer from Toronto. His employer is a major consumer product manufacturer with generous military service absence policies. He has been able to ladder step up in ranks in both organizations. As a skilled staff officer, he was tapped for all sorts of oddball UN and overseas missions. He did such a good job, he was named to a couple of orders in Canada and some miscellaneous French order. As an executive, he was able to bring a cosmopolitain and military-influence leadership style to the business. It helped them make money and be good corporate citizens. No fraud involved, just an unusual service career.
