Who the fuck buys these as a civilian? Why would you want to?

>Looking at balaclavas
>Turn around
>See a row of army berets
>No patches on them, but what they are is obvious
>Green, black, and red for SF, old-school Rangers, and Airborne respectively
>I'm in shock
>Who the fuck would buy this shit if they weren't actually in any of these units
>Costume? Doesn't seem likely.
>Who would want to wear accolades they hadn't earned?
>Why would someone want to wear a realistic beret?
>Stolen valor? That can't actually produce a big enough market for shops to sell this stuff, can it?
>Leave confused as fuck

I saw a hipster clerk in a St. Vincent's wearing one of those doofy enlisted berets the army just dumped flash and all.
I asked him if he knew where it was from or what the patch meant and he said he had no idea. It was just an item that came into the store.

Was it near a military base? Sometimes surplus stores are cheaper than on post.

Well, my girl wore a raspberry beret. The kind you buy at a second hand store. And if it was warm, she wouldn't wear much more.

Literally this, but the collectors themselves are usually stunted autists less than one step from going full stolen valor.
