Is it “tragic grandeur” to repeatedly lie about serving in Vietnam in order to get acting gigs?

Hollywood is nothing but a lie. People aren’t themselves because it is never big enough to be the success they are expected to achieve.
There are only a few actual war vets in that business that are real “heroes” that did more than jut put in time. Mel Brooks was wounded in the Battle of the Bulge, Pat Sajak served in Vietnam, Dennis Frank in Vietnam, Bill Cosby in Korea, Montel Williams served in the Navy and was at Grenada, and Tony Bennett was in Europe in WW II.
There are more but very few that actually saw combat that are still alive. But many in Hollywood that profess their service, or allow it to be lied about, do this to assist their career.
