Backstory:

My bff started dating this dude in his 40s when she was 16. Hes a vet and has PTSD and vivid flashbacks. Hes also an addict loser with no job living in his moms shack and I hate him but she loves him so whatever. Shes 18 now so theres nothing that can be done.
Now:
She was talking to an old friend of his and his friend says He was never in the marines! Theres no way he couldve made it lol thats a lie
So she casually brings up Hey babe, can i see your military ID? and hes like All of my military stuff got lost in the move. All of it. I have nothing left.
So now, were sus and Im thinking we should just ask his mom about having a vet son. But what if he lied to her about being deployed? Personally, I think the guys an idiot and I dont trust anything he says.
What can we ask to see if hes lying? Are there Public vet records we can look into? Were in Florida.

Update:

I texted him JOSH YOU DIDNT TELL ME YOU WERE IN THE MARINES MY FRIENDS GOING INTO THAT and he said Ill tell you about it after work, I was in the 2-6.

If hes in his 40s then hes about thirty years too young to have served in the Vietnam War.

Id say your friend could just look up the War on Wikipedia but shes also dumb enough to date a guy that old when shes still a kid, so rational thought might be asking too much.

Ask what his nickname was while he was deployed. Everyone had a cool nickname, Joker, Cowboy, Animal Mother.

Like others said, a 40 year old wasn't even born yet by the time the war ended. Unless you believe in reincarnation, that guy is lying

Im unsure if its the Vietnam war. For sure hes claiming the marines. I think he told me about it on the phone once (i swear he specifically said Vietnam on my life) and he says hes killed men and it gets to him because if he didnt beat the shit out of them hed get reprimanded.

Do you think its possible he said desert storm (gulf war). If hes in the tail end of his 40's that would make more sense. The only other war weve been in is the war on terror. That would be the likeliest.

Anyone born after 1957 or so was probably not in the Vietnam War.
