I'm not defending someone who lies, or discounting that someone who lies about something may lie about something else-- something that could affect the reputation or integrity of the chapter. But if your whole reason for pledging this guy was so you could say "We have a war vet in our chapter," that's weak. I'm as much for recruiting the best members, and you want certain bragging rights, but I would hope there was more to this guy than just his work record that compelled you to bid him.

I've no doubt your other members have embellished their accomplishments or lied about things before-- would this make-or-break their membership?
What does it matter if he's a good pledge? If he lied, then HE LIED.

And just confronting him... pathological liars will keep lying. Do you really think he'd just come out and be like "yeah I lied about my duty". Screw that.
