Just keep watching them. the fakes always out themselves in the long run. They have no idea how they do it but we do. Anyone that actually served can see it.
Forever seared in this memory is that of the lying tits primitive, the "TomInTib" primitive--in case no one remembers, I was about the last person around here to get around to disbelieving him.
As a professional civilian, at first (and for a long time afterwards) I took his allegations of being the second-most decorated sailor in the history of the U.S. Navy at face value.
By the time the lying tits primitive got around to boasting about having trained Green Berets (U.S. Army) and flown combat missions over Laos (U.S. Air Force), I started to wonder, but still thought it might perhaps possibly maybe be true.
Again, this is not to denigrate primitives who actually served in the military--I for one am eternally grateful to the sparkling husband primitive, who circa 1966-1967 served in the U.S. Navy off the coast of South Carolina protecting me, then a little kid.
But given the track record of the primitives when it comes to lying about things, when one--at least franksolich--sees a primitive screen-name implying military service, one gets a little dubious.
I'll accept the fact that the mountain man primitive, the "ThomWV" primitive, actually did receive that Medal of Honor or Good Conduct Medal or Purple Heart or whatever that medal is, but beyond that, I wonder.
