Ok our friends over at Stolen Valor have reporting about a company calling themselves“Veteran Clothing”. <\/a> Well the main problem is that there is nothing about the company that is military. <\/p>\n

Veteran Clothing is a new line of clothing started by a guy named Billy Truong, out of San Diego, California. Several fans brought it to our attention yesterday, at first glance you immediately think this company is either Veteran owned\/operated or they at least donate to Veterans groups. Well come to find out, neither of the above is true. But we believe their title and their slogan are very misleading, and tried several times to explain that to them. But they would not listen to what we had to say. In our humble opinion they knew exactly what they were doing when they started using this name and slogan, they are using it for their own personal gain.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When asked if he was a Veteran of the Military he said that he was a Veteran, just not a military Veteran. Then what is he a Veteran of? Why business and dance of course<\/a>. He claims that he will start giving portions of the earnings to real military groups but I am not holding my breath. <\/p>\n

But I am sure he wondering why people were thinking that his company was operated by Veterans, i mean it is a real mystery.<\/a> Or why people are upset<\/a> for some strange reason.<\/a> <\/p>\n

But according to Stolen Valor that this company may be working to make amends for <\/del>continue their actions. <\/p>\n

\nWe have been told that the company will hold a meeting tonight to discuss changing up their slogans etc. We will let you know what comes out of it. We ask that everyone cease contacting them at this point until they reach a decision.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We shall see. <\/p>\n

Update:<\/strong>Cameron let us know that the site has issues a letter of non-apology and intent <\/a>for their business. Oh and it seems that if you “old Veterans” are upset about them using the word Veteran in their company that you are immature and to leave their website immediately.<\/a> <\/p>\n

\nVETERAN is about experience and being original. Your Own Boss. You’ve been in the game for infinite years. Everyone Respects You. No more fancy handshakes,stay Saluting. Remember, you can be a Veteran in anything.<\/a> <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yea I think they have officially crossed the threshold and into douchbaggery. I was not sure at first but not at all now.
