No, that little voice in your head is right. The Duffleblog is the Onion for the military. It's got some really funny shit on it. I posted that link because it likely sums up Phillips pretty well.
Nathan Phillips military claims are going to be vetted. His records have already been requested.

My instincts tell me he was likely in the Marine Corps for a very brief time, probably didn't serve out his first enlistment, maybe didn't make it through training phase. I base this on following a lot of Stolen Valor cases and the fact that the folks in Phillips corner aren't providing any evidence to show his claims are legit.
Plenty of folks on Twitter discussing it. https://twitter.com/search?q=%23StolenValor&src=tyah The math doesn't even work out, so we'll likely hear from Phillips next that he was in a super secret unit and it's all classified, that's why they can't find his records
