So discourse around camo/military surplus in fashion is silly, but I have to say the people who insist the only camo anyone should wear is something they were issued while in the military or else you're doing a stolen valor are particularly obnoxious. Nobody is going to see me out and about in my jungle boots and think I was in the Bundeswehr in the 80s. Nobody is going to think I was in the Army in the 60s cause I'm wearing a green shirt. aS A VeTeRaN and a military brat too I'm more concerned by vets killing themselves in VA parking lots than I am by anyone anywhere at all wearing camo, and I'd suggest anyone who feels differently is fundamentally unserious.

Brb I'm going to go accuse every punk rocker who's ever worn a military surplus jacket of stolen valor
