3. Tracey used her father's service as if she herself served which is IMO Stolen Valor

Her argument that her father served is a bogus argument since it has nothing to do with the incident. Her father's service in the military is his service and it's not something that is inherited or given away for someone else to claim as their own. I'm sick of seeing these people, 99% which are conservatives, who do this while wrapping themselves in the American flag saying anyone to disagrees with them are unpatriotic or nu-American. In reality, they're saying when it comes to being an American and serving their nation or community they didn't because they are cowards.

BTW, my father retired as a Navy Captain who was a decorated WWII pilot in the South Pacific. His service was his service.
My brother retired as an Army Master Sergeant (E-8) and his service was his service.
I retired as an AF Senior Master Sergeant E-8) and my service is my service and I don't invoke my father or brother's service as my service.
