Another thing I've noticed about internet culture is that there are many posers online. People who pretend to be something they are not.
People who pretend to be veterans are my pet peeve. We've been an all volunteer military since 1973. Even with the large number of people in the military during the cold war, the percentage of people who have served is but a tiny percentage of the population. Out of that small percentage of the population, the number who served in combat arms is even smaller. The average tooth to tail ratio is about 9-1, that is about 9 people in a support role for everyone who does the actual fighting.
Now there is nothing dishonorable about serving in a support role. Yet for some reason, it's not glamorous enough for a few people, so they feel the need to embellish their record. I don't know why, to impress girls, and other people, to show how tough they are? It doesn't really matter.
That is a problem on the forums I moderate on.
Here are some tips to spot a poser. Answers like "I can't talk about it" or "I don't want to talk about it" when you ask questions after they bring it up. Vague answers about where they served. Vague answers like "All over" should be clues that maybe someone isn't being honest with you or him/herself.
Yes there ar eposers in the real world too. But they seem to be moreprevalent online.
