Yeah, that's true. But part of that is because some people make inflated claims to further themselves or someone else. Sometimes it's because someone says they got some awards they never did or the claim they did something that never happened. Others are people trying to tear someone down. Either way, if you go to the source of the award you can usually find out the actual story. I found this out researching some ancestors. I had an uncle that I always heard "won a medal in WW1". "A medal" turned out to be the Navy Cross and Silver Star (Silver Star Citation at that time).
