I stopped getting coal rolled, swerved at, and having beer cans and other items thrown at me when I started regularly wearing my Marines jersey (not the one posted).
Weird non-denial denial language in there, and you've clearly gone into ends justifying the means territory. Are you a veteran, and if not, does your jersey claim to be a veteran?
I'm also not sure you aren't committing stolen valor just by wearing the logo. wouldn't personally wear any military logo because I think there's a clear implication that I am somehow involved with the service and I don't feel I've earned the right to make that misrepresentation. I'd be interested in hearing whether veterans and serving military (or their families) feel the same way.
