There are jobs where having a military honor is not only a requirement, but a relevant requirement affecting one's ability to perform the job? Quite a few.

Also, how hard is it to confirm that someone did, in fact, receive a medal, esp. a medal of honor? Those aren't all that common. People aren't allowed to lie about academic credentials, so I don't see why this is any different. It's fraud, plain and simple.

The most effective way to check fraud of this manner would be for the vets to post up a public database of all MOH winners.
