"If you haven't walked the walk then you can't talk the talk" may not have been originated by Special Forces, (UK/USA), but it was adopted by them from time to time to deal with Special Forces "Groupies" - types who never have and never will make the grade but love to drop all the right 'buzz' words all over the place and pretend they were actually once there. Some even go so far as to buy bits of uniform and wear it etc.
All very sad. It has been around many, many years, popularised in a film version of a Tom Clancy book too.
