Vet's story goes viral on Facebook

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -

An Army veteran's story of how he got kicked out of an Old Navy store has gone viral on Facebook and across the Internet.

Aaron Bennett says he was at the Old Navy location in Orange Park when he saw an employee wearing a dark green Marine Corps dress jacket.
"Had rank on the side, couple rows or ribbons and a weapons badge," Bennett said.

In addition to being a veteran, Bennett comes from a military family and knows that the United States Code makes it illegal "to falsely represent oneself as having received any U.S. military decoration or medal."

Bennett said he told the store manager and was then approached by a deputy and mall security, who told him he was banned from the store.

The story of Bennett's incident was posted on the Stolen Valor website, a site dedicated to making sure the American military uniform is honored. Bennett said he was trying to do just that when he got kicked out.

"It's disgraceful, men have worked hard trying to earn that uniform and have died wearing that uniform," Bennett said

No problem. Old Navy doesn't have a thing worth buying anyway. It's all junk from China.

A guy gets banned from a store for telling a store manager something? Color me sceptical. He was right about the uniform tho......but I seriously doubt he's banned for just telling the manager about it.

Why would you buy from them in the first place, it's a store for young trendy types.

Old Navy hasn't denied it.

I will boycott Old Navy. That will be easy since I have never shopped there anyway.

If you can also find reasons for why I am boycotting Marshalls, Vanity Fair, Avon, and K-Mart, I'd appreciate it. I also boycott Cosmopolitan, The National Enquirer, People, and World Net Daily.

I confess to occasionally reading Weekly World News. I just can't get enough of Bat Boy!

 

[gallantwarrior]

Damn! I can't join the boycott because I already don't buy their crap.

 

[buckeye45_73]

Yeah, I'm wait and see on this Willow. I could care less about Old Navy, but if they did it for those reasons, then that manager needs to be shown the door, pronto.

"Bennett said he told the store manager and was then approached by a deputy and mall security, who told him he was banned from the store."

From telling the store manager about this to being banned. And you don't question that nothing is missing in between there?

Those are all easy: Marshall's is expensive yuppie crap; I don't even know what Vanity Fair sells; Avon is anti-hunting, their stuff stinks, and I'm not that much into make-up; and we don't have K-Mart in Alaska any more.

Suddenly, it's important for you to have the whole story. Now, that is funny.

 

[Conservative]

'telling the store manager' most likely involved a lot of expletives. That would certainly get one banned from a store.

 

[konradv]

Are we still boycotting grapes?

 

[MuadDib]

I never shop at Old Navy anyway. All my pants are 5.11, Tru-Spec, and a few pairs of jeans.
