well I tried. I didn't do a whole lot so didn't have much to work with when it comes to embellishments. Hence focusing on saying being overseas post 9/11 in a time of war mentioning near front lines without mentioning the dmz blah blah blah.
I'd assume a civilian reading it would assume given the timeframe person x was in iraq or afghanistan. Or rather that was my intent.
reality was I just drank a lot of beer and ate gimbap while having a good time.
I knew he wasn't in the middle east, or he would have mentioned the Iraq or Afghanistan campaign medals. The whole "near the front lines" threw me off, because I forgot we're still technically in a state of war with North Korea.
They signed an armistice in the fifties, but that's defined as a temporary cessation of hostilities. The state of war still exists.
As a veteran of the Global War on Terror who also didnt do anything other than sit in a office this definitely read to me like a write up I would do if I wanted to pull the wool over someone's eyes. Is it stolen valor. Ehhh. But its easy to be dishonest without actually lying.
I was thinking after reading that it doesn't sound like that person did a whole lot.

I actually did assume you were in the Middle East or Afghanistan so that part worked.
