I disagree. She claimed nothing about it to herself.
And if I had to bet money, I'd bet the references in the bio were genuine to the people who helped her research the book, as a type of acknowledgement.
I'm a veteran and I have no problem with it. (I would have a problem if JKR falsely made those claims about herself.)
The military types who helped her research apparently have no problem, and the veteran's charity she's helping (you know, the one she's donating all that money to...) has only said good things about her, so why the beef?
