Awesome! 
I met somebody like this in college....friend of my roommate. He told one outlandish story after another. When they failed to impress, he upped the ante.
I hated seeing the guy in the apartment, because I'd hear more preposterous dung. He had tried out for the Cowboys, but turned them down (yeah....overweight, coke-bottle glasses...could barely walk to and find his car), he'd had all these women, including most of the Dallas cheerleaders, his Dad's a millionaire...
I think, in reality, his dad abandoned him as a kid, and he was trying to feel "worthy."
So, my guess would be: weak self-image.

I like the posting of single classes and grades for post-grad classes as well. As if linkedin had an option for us to put a "star" on his paper and hang it on the fridge....

Even if his experience was for real I would think he's a little strange based on how he completed his profile.

He might be on unpaid leave getting SEAL, Force Recon, and USA Special Ops requal'd.

Turning NKO boxes green is a real pain.

I wonder how many hits his Linked In profile is getting. The stolen valor is all there in its glory. There's a special place in hell for guys like that.

And to think someone would fake their resume like that makes me physically ill.
BTW this guy forgot to post a picture of his challenge coin.
