A person with an unhealthy level of celebration and deference to the Uniformed services until a member of the Service contradicts any element of their previously held world view. Then the Service member is viewed as uncommitted, un-American, and not a “real” serviceman because real servicemen and women adhere to a strict world view presented to the Plastic Patriot by draft dodging actors and opportunistic politicians.
I told my uncle that the Senator talking on Fox News about going to war with China is missing a lot of non-military solutions and that plastic patriot told me I was being a snow flake that’s making the army he never served in weak and all real soldiers want to fight the Chinese

Once strictly used by people from Ireland to describe people from abroad who claim Irish ancestry, this term has been appropriated by Irish Americans who are tired of green beer, shamrocks in Guinness, and the "everyone is Irish on St. Patrick's Day" mentality. Plastic paddies can claim no Irish ancestry, have only a superficial knowledge of Irish and Irish-American history, and use St. Patrick's Day as an excuse to drink excessively. They genuinely believe that the Irish in America were lower than slaves, despite ample evidence to the contrary.
