Serving in the Armed Forces is an honour involving sacrifice and service to our country. When people falsely claim to have served or wear uniforms and medals they have not earned, they disrespect genuine veterans and mislead the public. Current laws only cover fraud for financial gain or limited cases of unauthorised uniform use. A new offence is needed to protect the integrity of service and uphold respect for veterans.
