Y'know, I've met no end of fake heroes of Vietnam and Iraq. But you'd think they'd at least know better than to claim to have done something KNOWN to be fiction from the previous century.

If you lived in a sewer for a couple of years, were constantly shot at, witnessed untold horrors first hand.. you may not be "all there" either.
I know a number of veterans from the first gulf war and one of them showed me pictures that he took in Kuwait. It was of infant babies that were "disposed of" in a dumpster behind a hospital. The discovery was made when their unit liberated the area. I knew this person before he served and he is not the same after that experience.
It is all too easy to dismiss the horrors sitting in our comfortable homes and offices and reading books about it or watching videos or movies about it.. but can you imagine finding a bunch of dead babies in a dumpster that were half rotted away? That is enough to f!!k up anybody in my opinion.
Truth is stranger than fiction.
