I think my boss is lying about serving

I had a cab driver tell me he was a veteran but there were many inconsistencies with his story (he was apparently doing a lot of high speed shit and yet he couldn't tell me what his MOS was, what unit he belonged to, where he was stationed, where he was deployed). My bullshit meter started going off and I asked some more innocuous questions and he started clamming up and giving noncommittal, nonspecific answers that veered on highly improbable. Eventually I just figured he was lying and steered the conversion away from it because I wouldn’t have gotten anything out of pressing him except more lies. It's sad people make shit up and build an entire identity on falsehoods but at the end of the day, I don't give a solitary shit. I'm just sorry he's your boss. That's some powerful delusion.
