Actual condition of former soldiers who investigate military history spoofs

The act of trying to gain a profit by misrepresenting the military history such as "I myself was taken captive in the Vietnam War but succeeded in escaping", "I participated in a special strategy in former Green Beret" I will not fail after that. Although the military history is also personal information, it is difficult to investigate and follow up, but there seems to be a group of former soldiers doing such investigation in the United States.
