Someone found guilty could be fined, imprisoned up to a year, or both.<\/p>\n<p>Lilyea collaborates with other veterans to write a blog called \u201cThis Ain\u2019t Hell,\u201d a forum for veterans that since 2006 has been exposing false claims. He said the group discovered a veteran who falsely claimed to have served with Special Forces. The man was writing a book and had even received an advance when Lilyea\u2019s group exposed him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to believe each other,\u201d he said. \u201cWe don\u2019t want to believe there are a bunch of phonies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lilyea said more veterans are turning in tips that his group investigates.
