Yeah, sure. But remind us… did you go to West Point [straight out of high school](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/where-and-how-did-you-acquire-skills-for-1st-job/343712/9), or [did you enlist out of high school, and only go to college for your undergrad degree after your enlistment was up](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/if-you-could-choose-your-career-all-over-again/244525/2) and only then decide to [join the army again](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/u-s-welfare-system-blessing-or-curse/262271/29)?

And if you graduated from West Point in 1977 (or 1978, or whatever—see below) how the fuck did you retire from the army \*as a [mere](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-question-for-dopers-in-the-military/264070/19) [Captain\*](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/rank-and-expendibility/259926/3) in the [early 2000s](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-is-the-highest-ranking-officer-in-the-us-military-likely-to-be-in-front-line-combat/954548/40)?

I am apparently [not the first person](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/martin-hyde-youre-a-fucking-idiot/344078/261) to notice certainly “irregularities” in your stories about service.

Fuck you, you stolen valor lying piece of shit. I don’t care if one of your two stories is true, or neither of them: they certainly can’t _both_ be true.
