"Hey, Bob, I need help. I keep hearing rumors that may come back to bite you, about your military service. Will you show me your DD214 so I can absolutely, positively look them in the eye and tell them to leave my brother alone?"

You want to do this for him, right?

If it is just for your own edification, you are right to leave it alone. Then you would be satisfying your own curiosity, not helping a brother.

Oh my god, I don't believe it and I almost hate to admit it, but I absolutely, 100% agree with DGTess. Marker!

I think the OP is more concerned that his chapter has a pledge who is a pathological liar rather than satisying his curiosity. Serving in the military is a pretty serious thing to lie about.
