Clearly wearing a navy seals uniform when you’re not a seal is more manipulative than the situation above.

But it is manipulative indeed. They are applying john wick to something that has absolutely no connection to john wick.

Ask yourself this: why would a quote need an image at all? And if so, why not use an image of the person who wrote the quote? How would you feel if someone put a picture of you behind this quote?

Valor: “great courage in the face of danger, especially in battle.”

This person is taking the way you feel about John Wick, and trying to apply that to their quote, so that you get tricked into respecting their quote more.

Most people think stolen valor means “wearing an armed forces uniform to gain respect and honor when you’re not in the armed forces.”

While that is an EXAMPLE of stolen valor, it is not the only way valor can be stolen.

Valor is stolen anytime someone tries to falsely apply someone else’s courage and honor to themselves without earning it.
