1. Why do the fakers do it?

For the same reason people steal. They wish to have something of value
which they did not earn.

While they may have devalued military service in general and heroism
in particular they believe as well that they accrue some benefit by
claiming exceptional combat valor, courage and credentials.


As hard as it may be to do, I think they devalue only themselves.

They cannot devalue that to which they have no claims.
