I'm just curious why the media doesnt check the background of their self-proclaimed "experts" at least superficially. If I walk into some news joint and tell them Im an expert on nuclear defence tactics, will they put me on the air?

Not at all. I'm willing to bet it was far more common before the information age.

However, since the beginning of armies, there have been fake veterans. There are whole websites dedicated to skiffing out and exposing these people.
