That might be a little tough to prosecute unless he demands something on the authority of the United States.
However, if you shift over to Title 18 U.S.C. Section 702, you will find
Quote:
§ 702. Uniform of armed forces and Public Health Service
Whoever, in any place within the jurisdiction of the United States or in the Canal Zone, without authority, wears the uniform or a distinctive part thereof or anything similar to a distinctive part of the uniform of any of the armed forces of the United States, Public Health Service or any auxiliary of such, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.

However, how would this affect people participating in recreations?
Unfortunately, I think it would be difficult to prosecute under section 702, unless someone is trying to "profit" from the impersionation
