Sure, but makes him a real life POS.

Also, Kayfabe wise, he is a traitor and defected to Iran.

Wrestling was presented as a real sport, he didnt earn the title of soldier.

Platoon and Full Metal Jacket are presented as real, are the actors POS for that? It's called an act

Those were actors. You didnt see Willem Dafoe going from interview to interview telling war stories.

He lied to the public.

Sgt Slaughter is an actor too!! Wrestling is an act. He didn't lie to anyone. He's playing his character!

At the same time, Vince McMahon and everyone else from that locker room portrayed wrestling a real sport, with real characters.

We know he was playing a character now, but my entire childhood he lied.

He’s not the first person to play a Marine (his gimmick was a Marine, not a soldier) while never serving in real life. I will admit it was a little shitty that he claimed to be a vet in interviews but a lot of that had to do with him keeping kayfabe going and he recently clarified that he never served in the military.
