He did some volunteer work for them. Now he's playing dress up for the cameras

Though something more formal than just the daily uniform would be a more fitting. Of course, being a foreign active duty person, he probably would not be a representative.
Also, if he was retired, then it might be appropriate if it was a special session or vote of commemoration.
His action is just asinine.
