We've had this discussion before, but I'll ask again...HOW do you know he was not a service member? Link, data, proof, ANYTHING? To my knowledge, it is IMPOSSIBLE to obtain a service record or verification without a release from the service member or some very specific data which can be used only in very limited cases....and in certain cases, not even then. If you know of some other source that isn't a sooper dooper, please share it. Otherwise.....
