INDIANAPOLIS, Ind (WISH) — A confrontation between a local veteran and a man he says was posing as a Marine has gone viral.

The incident happened outside the graduation ceremony for Noblesville High School Tuesday. Since then, the video of the confrontation has gotten more than 100,000 views online.

Marine Brandyn Skaggs, who was attending the ceremony for his younger brother, said his plan was to expose the man in uniform as a fraud in front of the man’s family, then leave it alone.

But Skaggs’ father recorded it all. And little did he realize that his fight to keep someone from stealing valor was a battle going on across the country every day.

In the video, you can hear Skaggs ask the man where he was stationed. The man answers Camp Pendleton. Skaggs follows that up by asking what unit the man served with. The man then replied, “none of your business.”

“I started to call him out and, obviously, at that point, he is a fake,” said Skaggs.

From the uniform to the medals, Skaggs, who spent four years in the U.S. Marines, said he had all the evidence he needed.
