What compels people to do this shit and why are there so many of them?

Did you call him on it? You weren't a soft cunt, were you anon?

Obviously you're looking at the man who invented the time machine, OP. You should be happy that your group was the first to hear of his exploits using it.

That's what.
There's lots of them because the general public doesn't know military shit, so it's a very cost-effective lie. Also, most guys would like to be seen as an action hero, which is why a good deal of their lies are about combat; very few, if any, military impostors lie about being some supply clerk in a warehouse during the war.

Because we play sad trumpet music for sad war veterans and fetishize their sad sacrifice in slow motion on tv.

OP, you were in the presence of a master storyteller. Such men go from pub to pub and help us relive the exploits and sacrifices of an earlier generation. I hope you bought him a round or two of drinks.

>master storytellers detected
Just like the middle-aged drunk that was the 2nd man on the balcony during the Iranian Embassy Siege.
Evidently there were hundreds of men standing on that ledge when the windows blew.

You alcoholic nanny staters couldn't even manage to properly administer a colony composed of your fellow countrymen, no wonder you resort to making up lies to make yourself feel better

My great uncle who is 90 fought in battle of the bulge and has three purple stars. Smoked for 50 years and doctors still don't believe him when they look and see he was born in 1925. Some people just don't age like other people. He just started opening up about all this only two years ago. Crazy stuff
it's only REALLY a problem if someone's trying to get free shit from it, in which case it's fraud.
Me, I tell everyone about how I fought in the Revolutionary War all the time. now stay on your side of the water, bong.

>that bitch's face
Angry old coot, everyone should turn an old coot into their personal project.
If an old woman walks around with a face like that, she was likely an unfortunate person to be around even when she was in her "prime".
