Why does some maga pretend to be veterans

This is not against those who served, but I noticed that a lot of maga people who show up at the new bar I work at pretend to be vets. I bring up my time national guard(army), they say that the military went to woke. I ask when they served and they always come up with some excuses why they didn't. At first it pissed me off, but now it like a bingo card in my head. I unfortunately have laughed in the kitchen and the bar cooks asked what's up. When I told him he joined in the laughing. Sorry it usually the one who wear the maga hat and jackets with different military patches on them.
