Находящиеся в {{нп5|Свобода информации в США|свободном доступе в США|en|Freedom of information in the United States}} официальные документы о воинской службе Фрэнка Дюкса утверждали, что Дюкс никогда не служил за пределами США и не был отмечен никакой из наград (в том числе и Медалью Почёта). Более того, согласно данным от января 1978 года, его отправили на психиатрическое освидетельствование в связи с тем, что он делал «ветреные и бессвязные заявления»<ref name=mental/><ref name="LATimes"/><ref name=bogus/>. Дюкс утверждал в ответ, что данные о его воинской службе были сфальсифицированы с целью его же собственной дискредитации<ref name="LATimes"/>. Анализируя фотографию Дюкса в форме морского пехотинца с наградами, исследователи пришли к выводу, что все планки были расставлены в неправильном порядке, а планка Медали Почёта на его униформе вообще была неправильной — планка подобного вида выдавалась отличившимся солдатам [[Армия США|Армии США]], а не Корпуса морской пехоты. В 1988 году Дюкс в интервью с Джоном Джонсоном из [[Los Angeles Times]] заявил, что пытался выяснить у военных причину этой ошибки, однако ответа не получил<ref name="LATimes">{{cite web|url=http://articles.latimes.com/1988-05-01/local/me-3111_1_american-martial-arts|title=NINJA: Hero or Master Fake?

While many sources dismiss Dux's claims entirely, others believe there may be some truth to his stories. Dux sued ''Soldier of Fortune'' publisher [[Robert K. Brown]] for libel following the publication of their articles about him.<ref name=uproxx/> While he eventually lost the case,<ref>{{cite court |litigants=Frank Dux v. Soldier Of Fortune Inc Larry Bailey et al |opinion=BC198883 |court=Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles |date=May 14, 1999}}</ref> during the hearing, John Johnson presented a photocopy of the receipt which he said proved that Dux had purchased his Kumite trophy, though the judge refused to allow it as evidence, noting several discrepancies such as the date on the receipt being after Dux was photographed with his trophy.<ref name=uproxx/> Dariel Figueroa from ''[[Uproxx]]'' opined there were several holes in both Dux's claims, as well as some of his critics, "leading to a mess of false evidence, lies, and somewhere in the middle, the truth."<ref name=uproxx/> Hugh Landman from ''[[Ranker]]'' has stated that while Dux "lies about, or at least greatly exaggerates, many aspects of his career," that does not necessarily mean his story is entirely false, speculating he may have won a Kumite that was significantly different from the one that appears in ''Bloodsport''.<ref name=ranker/>
