When he was 16, Sanders faked his age to join the U.S. Army. After serving in Cuba for a few months, he was honorably discharged. Kentucky Governor Ruby Laffoon issued a ceremonial decree that commissioned Sanders an honorary Colonel.

No it isn't. He can't tell his men what to do and didn't ever have any men. No experience either in being a Colonel.
This like pretending Elon Musk actually got a technical degree.

There are also serious questions about how he acquired that recipe, as white men weren't known for doing much cooking in Kentucky in the Jim Crow era. A 'Miss Childress' is often mentioned.
