I once had a friend who kept Ranger memorabilia around his house so he could "prove" he served in the Rangers.
I once had a friend who kept Ranger memorabilia around his house so he could "prove" he served in the Rangers. He didn't. He admitted as such when I started asking him questions about units, missions and people he served with.
It baffles me when people exaggerate their accomplishments. Or, maybe embellish is the right word. When I tell you I'm awesome, it's because I'm awesome, not out of any misguided attempts to falsely represent myself, but out of that one simple truth. And yet, I've known people, like my former friend above, who tell their stories.
