"That guy’s got a campaign ribbon from the Spanish American War."

Really? Which ribbon is that? Did you recognize or Google it? That moron didn't even try to look legit. He just tacked on any ribbon/badge he could find.

The give away for me is the Combat Infantry Badge. Unless things have changed since my service, I've never heard of Air Force awarding those. I realize the the AF has their highly trained search/rescue units and their ground spotters that are no slouches either, but a CIB? I thought CIB's only went to Army and Marine combat infantry grunts.

The biggest red flag is the Silver Star. The putz didn't think anyone would ever ask how he earned the third highest medal in the military? I'm surprised he didn't include a Navy Cross or the MOH. So glad when he got busted. I literally laugh my ass off.

Naw, I was kidding. He had just about everything I've ever seen, though - pretty amazing since it looked like he hadn't started shaving yet. Those eyes, though - that boy ain't right.

There was a "Marine Corps Officer" whose picture I was looking for unsuccessfully. The cynical eye might have noticed that his "uniform trousers" were Dockers. Geesh...

Only the army issues the CIB, but I hear they have awarded it to men they judged had earned it regardless of branch.
