Ask to see their discharge record. In the US, it's a Form DD-214. If they claim that their DD-214 is classified, they're lying. If they claim their awards are classified, they're lying. If they use the term "black ops", they're lying. If they claim their records were destroyed in the Saint Louis fire, and they weren't a WWII vet, they're lying.

If you really want to go all out with this, you can send a Freedom of Information Act request for their military records through the Department of Veterans Affairs. I would recommend you contact the webmasters of the POW Network website (there's a link posted at the bottom, under "Related Links"), and they can help you with this, or even do it for you. However, it's not a particularly fast process, and may take a couple months.

It can be challenging to determine if someone is lying about being in the military, but there are some signs to watch for. Look for inconsistencies in their stories or knowledge of military jargon and procedures. Ask for specific details about their service, such as unit names, deployments, or job responsibilities, and verify the information through official military records or databases if possible. Trust your instincts and be cautious if something doesn't seem right.

What does lying omnisciently mean?

If someone is 'ominscient' it means that they know, in essence, everything.

Sorry if that doesn't make much sense, it's the best I could explain it. :/
