I run a surplus store. There was a severely autistic guy in his 20s who would come in every couple weeks, with a social worker. And every week it was a different story, one week he's killed a North Korean general, the next it was he had beef with Israeli Mosssad because he married someone's daughter. I think it was a coping mechanism for him. I never actively questioned it because I knew about his condition, but man did I have to hold back laughter. One time his social worker even had to step in because a veteran customer was getting a little heated and we had to explain.
I genuinely felt sorry for that first guy, he obviously wasn’t all there. The “different kind of seal” was actually legit. I think I saw him on the beach balancing a ball on his nose for a fish dinner.
Ikr fuckin leave the guy on the corner saying he works for the Pentagon alone. Dude would tell you his dad is Napoleon Bonaparte if you asked him. He's obviously fucked up.
I was a Delta sniper seal MARSOC for 70 years. I can't talk about my missions to Disney world where we fought Al Qaeda in Epcot. I was also a machine Gunner who got 200 confirmed kills. I also dressed as Mickey mouse to get behind enemy lines. Thank me for my service.
@@RemembertThe20thMain I did. He, Abe Lincoln, and I all stormed a secret beach ourselves. This one was actually the most dangerous and so only the elite of the elite (us 3) went on it. It's so secret the documentaries don't mention it!
My uncle was a legit UDT in Vietnam, just listening to these guys blows my mind. To get my uncle to talk about the war was like talking to a wall. Having these guys spurt their story out to everyone is an immediate red flag.
Same for My cousin who served usmc in the afghan era who was medically discharged. He will talk about the brothers he made and tell funny stories and the more positive side of serving but if you ask him about actual combat he just goes silent might as well ask a pine tree
Same here, my grandfather was EOD in Nam and the story he told me was accidentally killing a boy he thought was Charlie on a night recon mission in a creek/river and that was only towards the end of his life!
“You’re stealing my valor” what a cringey ass thing to say 😂 my grandfathers who fought in the American Revolution, civil war, Spanish American war, WWI AND WWII are rolling in their graves hearing that 🤦🏻♂️
Seriously. If he would have said “you’re stealing valor from people that have died wearing it,” it would have sounded better. That sounds super selfish.
A liar is a liar! Don’t care if they are ill or just straight up full of crap! It’s still not right to say or act like a rank or metal holder…. Where the uniform and and say your not a real soldier or don’t do it at all!
Your demeanor through these videos is what pulls me in. You never get mad, but you smile through your disgust. You sir are a true gentleman. Thank you for your service..
@@JamesonsTravels Love your videos Sir! Thank you for taking the time to make them and thank you for your service to making our world a safer, fairer place... 👍
Had a special needs guy who loved the army but obviously couldn't get in, used to run around in fatigues with no patches. Never even bothered me, figured if it made him happy more power to him.
@@richardbradshaw7067 the 'special needs' guys deserve a bit of space. They just have little concept of reality. It's the smart, well groomed in shape types that deserve to be exposed.
@@adamw2911 he didn't have any patches. And with no context we are in no place to judge the guy in this case. Now the guys in this video are something else.
I assume you're talking about the US civil war. I have a similar problem, only I fought under Oliver Cromwell in the English civil war, in fact I executed King Charles personally.
I genuinely feel bad for these people, that they feel like their life is so meaningless that they craft these lies to get validation from strangers. Super sad.
It is sad, but this is the wrong way to go about it. Wear a suit and tell folks you're in the FBI. The FBI is about as useless. Nowadays they seem to be more into politics than federal law enforcement.
Worst part is you can just join the military. Even if you’re not in great shape or have no self-confidence. They’ll get you to there at least I’ve know plenty of people that joined who fall under that category
From the movie “Office Space”, it’s called Flair. You have to have at least 15 pieces of flair. That guy was extra special, he had like 47 pieces of flair.
I really appreciate how you show some compassion for these poor souls. They are train wrecks and you, at times, take a good hearted approach, and can chuckle. You don’t beat them up like some stolen valor videos which is cool.
Well, I can personally attest that they've developed one-way force fields that allow gun barrels and bullets to poke OUT of the side of the submarine, while preventing the ocean from flooding in.... As the only, singular member of the nation's most elite spec ops group("Alpha Force"), I was privy to these top secret technologies. 😎
@@psmith9789 meh. I’m sure real vets can take care of themselves. People are disrespected every day not just vets most of which never saw combat or even were in any harms way in their entire career.
@@ChimpingBulldog wearing military clothing and pretending to be in the military is not breaking the law. Otherwise I would have been arrested playing paintball. 😁. Is there not mercy. Too many people in jail too many mentally I’ll people in jail. Let them be. They are harming nobody. Are veterans that petty?!
It’s always seals, SF, and snipers. Why doesn’t any of the fake veterans ever pick average Joe jobs like “oh yeah, I was a food service guy, cooked the best steaks in Nam, I had joes coming from all over the place to eat them” Honestly I respect experts in their field. The best cook or admin guy beats out a lot in my book.
@@bearmarco1944 Movies probably. I was an AMH in the Navy then crossrated to RM. I loved both jobs, I just didn't feel like working in hydraulic fluid all the time, plus the rate was too top heavy and making rank was near impossible in the early 90's.
Cooked the best steaks in 'Nam, huh? I wonder if he remembers the beachhead where his CO was giving him the option to surf or fight, because remember, Charlie don't surf?
I served in the Navy and knew a few Seal team members. I never operated with them other than to get them close on occasion, to their area of operation. I held great respect for these men and can not stand these fake seals. I once at a reunion made a comment to one of them about how I felt, and honored to have gotten a chance to say I knew a few. He turned to me and told me it was a pleasure to have served with me. I was confused till he told more than once our crew were their heroes. He explained that after completing a mission, it still was a relief to see us there ready to pick them up. Made this old regular Navy guy feel good.
@@bb-us4ew Retired Marine here. A "soup sandwich" almost always refers to how a service member wears their uniform. A "SS" is in a uniform that is probably ill-fitting, for starters, wrinkled, maybe soiled, a belt too long/short, dirty / missing / out of order ribbon bar, needs a haircut and for males, needs a shave. Oh yea, an "SS" is probably overweight. A "soup sandwich" is a mess; an embarrassment to the Service.
@@alexnunezramos1720 I just couldn’t help myself, lol! Just to think that a week ago, I was hanging with all my brothers at the American Legion, burning thousands of American flags in a flag retirement ceremony. Gotta remember that we spent the day before opening and folding all those flags until everyone’s arms got sore. For the ceremony itself, my first time btw, we had a group of Young Marines and Cub Scouts that were more squared away than any of these bozos in this video, lol. I also think that what these young men did was braver than what any of these bozos did. I didn’t know about the Young Marines when growing up but I can tell you that its a wonderful program for kids. It gives them an insider look at the Marines and they have the option of saying this isn’t for me or continue on to real Marine Corps bootcamp. I’m not sure if the Young Marines would of made a difference for me or not, coming from a family of West Pointers. First, I didn’t think I had what it takes to go to West Point even though I was a straight “A” student. I wasn’t like my uncles, one played the trumpet, really good too. They’re all silent keys now, I still miss them...
My Dad was a Vietnam Vet and it was the hardest thing just for him to answer general questions. He always told me real soldiers dont go around bragging about what they did. This kind of stuff drives him crazy.
I was in a classified position for a while, submarine’s, my mission was to make sure that the screen door was kept closed at all times. I was also a door gunner in that submarine. Dont tell anyone.
...right ok, so did you work on special projects as well after that mission on the sub like this guy at Area 51 2:47? Just asking, you don't have tell me anything top secret if you don't want to but what other things have you done in the military?
I bet you were also on the highly trained submarine SWAT Team armed with the latest high tech fly swatters to smash those enemy mosquitos that got through the screen door. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone.
I've been out of the Navy for over 35 years. So therefore I haven't kept up with all the uniform changes and would have a hard time telling what is legit and what is not. Some are really obvious and some are not. I used to wear old woodland camo pants I picked up at Gun shows and surplus stores because they were really good work pants, tough and cheap. People would ask me if I was a Marine and I would tell them, no I scored too High on my Asvab. Then immediately tell them, I was a proud Squid. After 9 11, I stopped wearing them so people wouldn't mistake me as a recent Soldier or Marine and thank me for something I didn't do. I do wear my Navy Veterans ball cap, as a result, I have had a few Homeless Veterans reach out to me as a fellow Brother to talk to, which is what us older guys should be doing. People have Thanked me for my service and I will tell them, I appreciate it but the only real Danger I was ever in was running out of beer and money in the Philippines said with a chuckle. I really hope that many of these young Veterans find the peace they deserve and earned. God Bless
I've heard quite a few stories from bubbleheads about the Philippines. Finally convinced one guy that his "fiance" was scamming him, we found out through some guys that were still active on the boats that she was married with 4 or 5 rugrats, thankfully the bubblehead had only sent her about $5000 for all of the "corrupt customs officials" that she had to "bribe". Apparently after Subic Bay closed, Ukraine became the "new Philipines" for those love sick guys looking to be scammed. Thank you for your service!
9:37 actually driving a submarine is a hell of a lot like flying a plane. The control surfaces are very similar. Which is why you get that line in the hunt for October. “Give me a stopwatch and a chart and I’ll fly the Alps in a plane with no windows.”
@@johnynoway9127 has nothing to do with stuff they aren't proud off. Trust me there's nothing more anoying than someone coming to bug you to shake your hand while youre grocery shopping because of your service. People see military and it's like common sense leaves them they'll come thanking you for your service while you're pooping. If you ever serve then you'll understand
@@ihave35cents95 some are proud to have served and say it by wearing a hat. Not that big of deal. My husband is just one of them who are proud to have served but doesn't let anyone know about it and blends in. He thinks is corny when you see people in full uniform just walking around a store.
I think most of these people are mentally dissabled, I kinda feel bad for them. The ones that piss me of are the ones trying to gain something and know what they are doing.
He's also wearing US Army Military Intelligence officer branch insignia. That insignia was also used in the original Battlestar Galactica as Viper Pilot collar pins. He truly is a 'Space Cadet'!
Which, to be honest, makes the legit soldiers who bother the mental cases look like the worst kind of cowardly bullies, the antithesis of all the principles the Armed Forces should instil in its recruits.....
Much respect for these men and their combined decades of service to our country! I was the lead flight attendant on a Blackhawk helicopter in Korea, Iraq, Kuwait, and several other places that nobody here has the security clearance to discuss...
I have to admit that I fully expected you to go apeshit on these people like they do in most of the other ones I've seen and I'm so glad you didn't. It's refreshing to see someone just laughing at all the inconsistencies in their stories. Thank you for the content!
I was active duty Navy from 1982-2002. I used to see these guys once in a while. I always wonder what would cause someone to lie like they do. My favorites are the guys with an officer hat and rank insignia and also wearing enlisted stripes on their arms. You’d think they’d do a little research first.
There are some people who are genuinely unwell. However there are those who try to use the uniform and patches/ribbons/ medals to gain respect or something like a military discount or veterans perks
@@urielmartinez2161 if you live in the USA or even the UK there’s a prestigious honor that comes from serving in the military. You’re held up as a hero of sorts. Plus there’s decent benefits like getting your higher education paid for, being on tricare (basically health insurance for active and retired personnel and their dependents). There’s also perks like a military discount which is usually in the realm of 10% so it saves a bit of money
I tried 3 times to join as soon as I was 18 its all I wanted as a child and highly respect anyone who serves but never ever would I pretend to be someone I am not or disrespect anyone who served. Thank you to all who served
My cousin really wanted to join the army when he was in school. But abusive parents drugs, alcohol and eventually dropping out of school in 7th or 8th grade eventually landed him in prison for 2ed degree murder of his father in a case that has always been believed to have been committed by his mother.

@@terryscarlett2431 I've thought the same. I also find it kind of sad that some supposed vets harass these obviously autistic people as if they're really gaining something other than pity.

Fun fact- if you wash out of Submarine Door Gunner School they make you a helicopter periscope crewman or kosho's assistant. Depends on your ASSHAT score.
I really love how you handle these stolen valor videos. It’s all class. You even give people the benefit of the doubt many times until they take away all doubt
I love it, they never act like your average marine or something, they always have to bee some Seal Team Six/SOF deployed in every recorded battle in History with 600 confirmed kills in a single day with their chest looking like a trinket market
I have met a few folks who flunked out of SF and SEAL training and I have great respect for those people for being honest and for trying. I grew up in Okinawa and we had Field Day at school every year when the SF guys would come over and along with the Biy Scouts they would build some cool stuff such as towers and bridges. It was really fun! We were in Okinawa after dad left Vietnam. Okinawa was such a cool place to grow up!! I often wonder what my dad would think of these guys?
My brother tried out for BUDS just to see if he could do it. A few instructors convinced him to drop out telling him he would be nothing more than an expendable trigger man with no future in civilian life. They told him he was way more valuable than he thought and to go back to doing air craft electronics work. To this day my brother only talks about the fun times in the Navy and nothing is brought up about BUDS out of respect for them guys.
These people put in so much effort for a ridiculous story, it would have been less effort to join the service. SMH. I get embarrassed as a civilian nurse for the army when people thank me for my service. I explain that I work for the army, I’m not in the army. I love my job ♥️
Every civilian I ran across while in was super friendly and loved their jobs. Thanks for putting up with the youngsters and their antics. I surely was one.
True. But one thing the military wont except everyone . No excuse to be a scammer but yea i would of love to join but couldn't . Just to you're point .
Its simple. Go around talking about yourself and trying to be the center of attention telling people how cool you are! Though people may mistake you for a Cav Scout instead of a civilian.
@THAT GUY oh dear, it seems that you have taken my dry humour seriously😕 However, you have discussed some very good points that can be helpful. I'm also an Australian Veteran just to clarify a bit more. I became a counsellor and help people along with the veteran community with many issues. I've had quite a few Vets who get stuck on that old saying "The Army trained me to be a soldier but didn't train me to be a civilian" well, there is no training to be a civilian, it's not a title that is earned it's just a word. The main issue is qualifications and skills and how they can be adapted to a new life outside. I'm not sure how it goes in the U.S but in Australia, we can have our qualifications mapped over to civilian and they can show what types of jobs a person may be suited for. Unfortunately mine were security and counter-terrorism occupations, which didn't suit the injuries I sustained before my discharge. So I had to go back to the drawing board and find a new life on my own (which many of your points highlight) Australia doesn't have a G.I Bill so education can be limited for some Vets (money wise) to diploma level. When we're in, there is a "higher power" looking after career progression and you're spot on when you said all the resources are taken care of and we have to learn to depend on ourselves more. Hard for many Vets to do when they have mental health issues clouding their decision making skills along with added pressure to get employed, take care of family or whatever they individually face. Thank you.for taking the time to comment and add some real, no nonsense advice. I hope some people who click on this thread read what you wrote and it helps them🙂
I was lucky enough to get to know an ACTUAL Vietnam-era SEAL with extensive combat experience. He was the most humble, gentle, soft spoken guy I’ve ever known. He never wanted to talk about his service.
@Mr. W the good guys compared to who, the people they're fighting? The ones beheading civilians, journalists, women, children, etc? You're so smart and deep bro you're right, nothing is worse than a western force sweeping in, fighting off insurgents and then giving the local forces weapons, vehicles and training to defend their home country from local terror groups.
I’ve seen a bunch of these vids and always thought that some of the guys confronting were as bad as the guys wearing the uniforms and you sir have given the best advice and insight into how to handle these situations and look at the people committing stolen valor Great job!
I've always thought that myself. You gotta wonder if some of these guys have seen combat or lost alot of friends like they all say...not everyone who served is Rambo
In all my years as a belly gunner on a baking soda powered submarine I've learned you can tell the fake soldiers right away because they go on about how much they did and how great they were and those of us that really did serve seem to talk more about the people we served with and the things that they did.
I certainly find truth in this. My brother's the one who served, and most of his stories have less to do with military operations and more to do with his experiences with his fellow soldiers. In fact, I couldn't really tell you what my brother does in the Army, but I can tell you that "Smith" hates mayo on his hot dogs, that "Ericks" got smoked for accidentally telling his CO to "eat a d*ck", that "Johnson"'s Jamaican accent comes out when he's angry, and that my brother's CO was trying not to laugh as he checked in on my brother on the radio after seeing him fall on his ass on the cameras he was monitoring.
From a retired NYC Correction officer who worked with many many brave military veterans who protected our lives and freedoms, I thank you all for everything you do and for all of your bravery in defending our country!

@Abe Froman You're probably an atheist communist Chinese comrade. Our site has excellent proof backed with excellent sources. What did you bring to the table as proof: only yourself.
@Abe Froman Our site exposes your evil side using the top Freemason's own words. Other sources include many doctors, a former elite banker, the former leader of the FBI in Los Angeles, the former CEO of the top music conglomerate, much video evidence and much much more. Again, what proof did you bring to the table: only yourself. Yeh that sounds like what comes from the liberal and RINO university people these days: phoniness with no credible sources to back up their claims. I'm sure you kissed lots of feet too, to get the billionaires' trickle-down jobs, dollars, and acceptance. The bible says it's better to store up your treasure in heaven than to store it up on earth where thieves and such can take it away, as is happening now with covid checks, business lock-downs and more. I almost joined the military but didn't because I do not like fighting for the evil billionaires who run America and this world. I do not like fighting for people with no integrity. Do you know why nasty words come out of your mouth Abe? It's because you have a sewer in your heart. It's no joke. Bible says out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. You need a new heart Abe. It's true.

I did 22 years in the Navy and never saw so many different service pins on 1 uniform in my entire career, hell Audie Murphy and Alvin York didn't have that much on their uniforms.
Congrats to the first guy for becoming the first Colonel in the US Navy. I guess that's why all the other branches gave him all that bling for his uniform.
I worked with a guy that told others that he was a sniper in Vietnam as I listened to the story he was reciting the first chapter of Carlos Hathcocks book. I didn't say anything but I wish I had. He was very tight with the boss and I needed the job. A couple of years later i told that story to a friend and he told me the same guy told him that he flew the rear seat as a pilot on a F 16. We found out he was really a cook in army in Vietnam. So sad, wasn't a bad guy, just a bull shipper.
What's bad about being a cook? At least he was in Nam. He obviously thought it wasn't enough to earn respect which is a pity. Most of these scumbags weren't anywhere near the military. This guy was more than them by cooking, an important field.
@@dexta32084exactly. Anyone who served in any capacity under any circumstance deserves respect for said service. Especially during the times of the draft, when people dodged it for myriad reasons.
"What was your MOS?", the only question you need to ask in a stolen valor situation. When they answer "uhm... uhm... i disposed of roadside bombs" or "I was a gunner on a blackhawk" you know they are up to shenanigans.

I served in the Navy and knew a few Seal team members. I never operated with them other than to get them close on occasion, to their area of operation.
I held great respect for these men and can not stand these fake seals. I once at a reunion made a comment to one of them about how I felt, and honored to have gotten a chance to say I knew a few. He turned to me and told me it was a pleasure to have served with me.
I was confused till he told more than once our crew were their heroes.
He explained that after completing a mission, it still was a relief to see us there ready to pick them up.
Made this old regular Navy guy feel good.

Just to think that a week ago, I was hanging with all my brothers at the American Legion, burning thousands of American flags in a flag retirement ceremony. Gotta remember that we spent the day before opening and folding all those flags until everyone’s arms got sore. For the ceremony itself, my first time btw, we had a group of Young Marines and Cub Scouts that were more squared away than any of these bozos in this video, lol. I also think that what these young men did was braver than what any of these bozos did. I didn’t know about the Young Marines when growing up but I can tell you that its a wonderful program for kids. It gives them an insider look at the Marines and they have the option of saying this isn’t for me or continue on to real Marine Corps bootcamp. I’m not sure if the Young Marines would of made a difference for me or not, coming from a family of West Pointers. First, I didn’t think I had what it takes to go to West Point even though I was a straight “A” student. I wasn’t like my uncles, one played the trumpet, really good too.

I bet you were also on the highly trained submarine SWAT Team armed with the latest high tech fly swatters to smash those enemy mosquitos that got through the screen door. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone.
I've been out of the Navy for over 35 years. So therefore I haven't kept up with all the uniform changes and would have a hard time telling what is legit and what is not. Some are really obvious and some are not.
I used to wear old woodland camo pants I picked up at Gun shows and surplus stores because they were really good work pants, tough and cheap.
People would ask me if I was a Marine and I would tell them, no I scored too High on my Asvab. Then immediately tell them, I was a proud Squid.
After 9 11, I stopped wearing them so people wouldn't mistake me as a recent Soldier or Marine and thank me for something I didn't do.
I do wear my Navy Veterans ball cap, as a result, I have had a few Homeless Veterans reach out to me as a fellow Brother to talk to, which is what us older guys should be doing.

Finally convinced one guy that his "fiance" was scamming him, we found out through some guys that were still active on the boats that she was married with 4 or 5 rugrats, thankfully the bubblehead had only sent her about $5000 for all of the "corrupt customs officials" that she had to "bribe".
Apparently after Subic Bay closed, Ukraine became the "new Philipines" for those love sick guys looking to be scammed.

@THAT GUY oh dear, it seems that you have taken my dry humour seriously😕 However, you have discussed some very good points that can be helpful. I'm also an Australian Veteran just to clarify a bit more. I became a counsellor and help people along with the veteran community with many issues. I've had quite a few Vets who get stuck on that old saying "The Army trained me to be a soldier but didn't train me to be a civilian" well, there is no training to be a civilian, it's not a title that is earned it's just a word. The main issue is qualifications and skills and how they can be adapted to a new life outside. I'm not sure how it goes in the U.S but in Australia, we can have our qualifications mapped over to civilian and they can show what types of jobs a person may be suited for. Unfortunately mine were security and counter-terrorism occupations, which didn't suit the injuries I sustained before my discharge. So I had to go back to the drawing board and find a new life on my own (which many of your points highlight) Australia doesn't have a G.I Bill so education can be limited for some Vets (money wise) to diploma level. When we're in, there is a "higher power" looking after career progression and you're spot on when you said all the resources are taken care of and we have to learn to depend on ourselves more. Hard for many Vets to do when they have mental health issues clouding their decision making skills along with added pressure to get employed, take care of family or whatever they individually face. Thank you.for taking the time to comment and add some real, no nonsense advice. I hope some people who click on this thread read what you wrote and it helps them🙂

@Abe Froman Our site exposes your evil side using the top Freemason's own words. Other sources include many doctors, a former elite banker, the former leader of the FBI in Los Angeles, the former CEO of the top music conglomerate, much video evidence and much much more. Again, what proof did you bring to the table: only yourself. Yeh that sounds like what comes from the liberal and RINO university people these days: phoniness with no credible sources to back up their claims. I'm sure you kissed lots of feet too, to get the billionaires' trickle-down jobs, dollars, and acceptance.
The bible says it's better to store up your treasure in heaven than to store it up on earth where thieves and such can take it away, as is happening now with covid checks, business lock-downs and more.
I almost joined the military but didn't because I do not like fighting for the evil billionaires who run America and this world. I do not like fighting for people with no integrity.
Do you know why nasty words come out of your mouth Abe? It's because you have a sewer in your heart. It's no joke. Bible says out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. You need a new heart Abe. It's true.
The "security guard patch" the first yoyo was wearing is a legitimate command patch for the Air Intelligence Agency (AIA), which was headquartered in San Antonio back in the 90s.

As someone with an extensive career as a software engineer I can’t help but laugh about the notion of someone impersonating an IT worker…
We keep it under our hat for a good reason. How much free work are we willing to do 😆
The neighbor or friend or family member; "I heard you work with computers. Can you fix my iron or toaster or 30 year old am radio or lawnmower or television or etc etc.'
?
But never, not once, not ever do you hear 'can you help with my computer?' 'I'll pay you.'
Then your friend or neighbor or family member will take the PC or Mac to Best Buys. They will plug in a loose wire and charge 150 dollars.
The kicker is when they have to tell you about the deal they got from Best Buy. sigh
Sounds like something a stolen IT valour dev would say. Where were you during the Meme Wars of Reddit?
Hang on I know nothing about IT other than dealing with them at a Fortune 500 company, but I’m going to try my best.
“ have you tried unplugging it and plugging it back in?”
“ it appears our software update has destroyed everything you need to operate. We’re going to roll those changes back and install the previous version.”

Love how you laugh at these psychos instead of being angry.
Poor guys need to live vicariously through our heroes.

Dude has 33 confirmed kills at the Golden Corral all you can eat buffet. 😀
For a grumpy old codger this bloke has a really open minded outlook, and I appreciate that he readily admits when he doesn't know something.
I did 22 years in the Navy and never saw so many different service pins on 1 uniform in my entire career, hell Audie Murphy and Alvin York didn't have that much on their uniforms.
Thank you for your videos
That second dude is definitely a different type of seal he has ascended the seals he is now a manatee😂

He has expanded from SEAL Team 7, to Walrus Warrior 1.
@@luxonlex4453 😂I love that😂
LMAO
The SeaBee-Sniper-SEAL-Submariner is hilarious. He did it all. He was a one-man army!
Congrats to the first guy for becoming the first Colonel in the US Navy. I guess that's why all the other branches gave him all that bling for his uniform.
Great stuff as always John, thank you.
I worked with a guy that told others that he was a sniper in Vietnam as I listened to the story he was reciting the first chapter of Carlos Hathcocks book. I didn't say anything but I wish I had. He was very tight with the boss and I needed the job. A couple of years later i told that story to a friend and he told me the same guy told him that he flew the rear seat as a pilot on a F 16. We found out he was really a cook in army in Vietnam. So sad, wasn't a bad guy, just a bull shipper.
Those bullshit artists are funny as hell but can definitely roll you for your job with all the hot air
The saddest part of that is being a cook in Vietnam is enough to earn all my respect in and of itself.
What's bad about being a cook? At least he was in Nam. He obviously thought it wasn't enough to earn respect which is a pity.
Most of these scumbags weren't anywhere near the military.
This guy was more than them by cooking, an important field.
@@dexta32084exactly. Anyone who served in any capacity under any circumstance deserves respect for said service. Especially during the times of the draft, when people dodged it for myriad reasons.
We needed the cooks to! So no reason to lie. We were glad to see the cooks. He'll much more so then anything else.
"What was your MOS?", the only question you need to ask in a stolen valor situation. When they answer "uhm... uhm... i disposed of roadside bombs" or "I was a gunner on a blackhawk" you know they are up to shenanigans.
Yep it trips them up every time me 67 R apache heli mechanic retired
Rate for Navy
Air Force was AFSC when I was in during the early 70's.
When I see someone wearing a Marine hat I always ask their MOS, if they say what is that they are fakes.
@@markefulton was for me in the early 00s as well. Lol had to Google. Had me questioning why I didnt know my MOS.
I can vouch for half of these guys, I was a sub door gunner in the second Vietnam war.
I know i was in charge of the screen door, on the biden.
@@davidcollins2993 wait that was you??? DUDE its me, the guy that was the Culinary Sniper. Remember me from when I did that one thing with culinaries in the torpedo bay??
