He said he did all that so that his mom would be "proud of him". His mom would've been just as proud if he returned with his Spc. patch and no Airborne badge.

Serves him right. I don't understand why Soldiers feel the need to 'inflate' their experience. His family and friends are proud of him regardless.

We found a guy last year who was Signal. Only he "embellished" a bit because in my opinion, radio op was too blah. So he added Special Forces. Sniper School. Up close firefights in Vietnam. The Distinguished Service Cross. I imagine he felt, Now people would like him: now; he was worthy of admiration.
