Being a SEAL, or Deploying, or having awards for Valor is admirable, but it doesn't take away from or make them better than anybody else who didn't do that.

It was absolutely exclusive and meeting the requirements in addition to completing the training takes a special man. I personally couldn't even imagine attempting to be a SEAL. The effort and tenacity was just not in my wheelhouse as a guy 17-21 years of age.

      Or, since we are supposed to be a secular democracy with a constitution based on fair, humane laws, regardless of a person's religious beliefs, not some medieval theocracy, someone who is honest and aboveboard. While I do appreciate your religious convictions, that stuff has nothing to do with how we treat one another.
      I don't remember anymore which verses it comes from, but that Jesus fellow many times said that we should not judge nations by their conquests but instead by how they treat the least among them in their societies--the poor, the aged, the downtrodden and the sorely afflicted.
      Sadly, the circus of phony "Christians" in lunatic, evangelical America seems to be reading from a different bible with a weird Rambo Jesus who hates the poor and the sick. This Jesus appears to be some sort of goddamned Republican who hates Social Security and is hellbent on crushing "commies" and "socialists."
      Wouldn't it be funny if Jesus really did come back one day? These redneck evangelical cockroaches would be climbing all over each other to escape the Light, knowing exactly what false prophets they are. Either that or, the real high rollers--the millionaire charlatans with the private jets, etc--our modern day Pharisees, would be the first ones to crucify Him again.
      Personally, I wouldn't trust any of them. I'm sure there are honest, well-meaning Christians out there, but they are in the extreme minority, one in a million, at best. You don't have to be a proud, bragging Christian to do what Jesus told us to do, which was simply to be kind to one another. "The whole of the law is Love," remember? Not executing homosexuals and all the evil bullsh*t these nasty creatures get up to.

    I am glad you are both here. This is so unacceptable and unrespectful to claim to be what you are not, but more even worth to claim to be a former navy seal knowing that this is one of the hardest achievements someone in the army can get. One of my neighbors is a navy seals, a man of few words and for what I know with my poor knowledge these kinds of man are usually humble and won't surely brag out having some purple heart (no less than two!!! this man is a joke). Please keep up the good work. People who serve our country deserve the at most respect, period.

      @@nickyblue4866 agreed. Being in the army or enlisting in the army to become a navy seal requires in both cases courage, determination and the will to become an operator. One thing I have noticed and I have said it in some way is that these men are encountering some very traumatic events, and for this I do not think there is any form of training that can really alleviate these entirely. From my point of view, I think these men are another breed on their own right. I won't say you are born navy seal but I will say life plus a certain personality is the right combination to mold this men. I know what I am and I know what I am not. I will encourage people to do an introspection and really ask themselves who they really are. Maybe with this kind of attitude , the all phony and stolen valor won't have been an issue in the first place.

    My grandfather was 82nd airborne in WWII (he was 17-19 years old at the time). Didn't get his discharge papers and all his medals until he was in his 70s (long story). Turns out he had 4 bronze stars (one was a unit citation for what they did at Nijmegen Bridge, the other three were personal awards) and a purple heart (had trench foot in the Battle of the Bulge and they wanted to amputate his feet- he wouldn't let them).
    I remember when I was a kid asking him why he didn't have anything advertising his veteran status. He was digging out a ditch when I asked him this. He stopped, stuck the shovel in the ground, and resting his hands on the end of it said something to the effect of "Well, bud, some guys do those things and that's ok." (hats, license plates, etc that I had asked about) "But the way I see it, I did what I had to do and I'd just as soon forget about it." He went back to digging.
    Per my dad he used to love critiquing war movies and how combat was depicted, and he would talk about life in general, like what it was like behind the line. But he almost never spoke about the combat. I believe he only ever shared one story with my dad. My grandmother said that she couldn't keep shirts on him at night when they were first married because he would wake up ripping them off screaming for one of his friends who was killed.

These fake Navy Seals or anyone who lies about even having served in the Military when they haven't will eventually catch up on them. I can't understand why this guy, who obviously did serve for 6 years in Aviation Ordnanceman 2nd class before being discharged, had to go on and lie that he was a Navy Seal. He should be proud enough for what he did. It's quite sad this individual actually go on to inflate his military background.

    It must be hell to know that when you’re successful at your job, some innocent have to be hurt.
    Certainly not criticising what you do. It’s a necessary side effect of these idiots and the reality is, if they hadn’t lied, they wouldn’t have set these people up to be hurt and I’ve little doubt they’d end up hurt infinitely more were the eejits not exposed.
    Society just doesn’t get it right when returning actual vets back to civvy street.
    Oftentimes, they are belittled and abused purely for doing their job or, the other extreme, they are held high as heroes resulting in stolen valour situations. Here in Scotland there has been so little assistance for those coming out of the service that, without the rigours and structures of military life, they feel lost, lonely, depressed. They struggle to find work, particularly if injured or have PTSD, and too many times they turn to drink and drugs. The suicide rate amongst ex-military males between 25-40 in Scotland is horrendous that’s why what Don Shipley does is so important. By taking these imposters out of the equation, this frees up more time, more money and more support for those who need it. Without the lies of these imposters, almost always ‘I’m no longer in the service because I was asked to do a thing and I refused’, the respect can return to those who served, without these imposters trying to cover a history of violence, crime, alcohol and prison, people can see that ex-military doesn’t mean arsehole
    I’ve nothing but respect for Don and Diane and the job they do and how they still manage to laugh despite spending all day every day listening to the worst of society trying to explain how they’ve ruined lives and stolen from charities in the sane manner a child tries to lie about stealing a cookie

I'd like Don to ask him has he got a vehicle to drive and did he go to the DMV and with his documents he has like the DD-214 and give them it and the people in the DMV will run off a copy and send it to the Department of Motor Vehicles and he would get a tag with a Purple on it or whatever medal rhis guy claims he has and it will be on his tag as a veteran. But I get a feeling this old con artists doesn't have one of those tags .
