Because they do not see it as a serious crime worth prosecuting.
I think that most of them are not military, never were, and do not see the big deal with making false military service claims.
I think that they see it as about as worthwhile as prosecuting people tearing off mattress tags or jaywalking.
It would appear that the Federal Attorneys have considerable lattitude in what crimes to indict and prosecute.
Kind of like Black Panthers intimidating voters at polling places.
