I saw this video on Facebook a few days ago. You can tell straight away just from the guy's bearing and manner he isn't military.

The special forces walts can be spot a mile off. In almost eleven years on big grey ships I've come across special forces three times, and the thing that struck me was they all look like totally normal guys you wouldn't give a second look if you passed on the street. Nothing like the Hollywood depiction.


Anyone remember the wee drama with a SimHQ staff member about 12 years ago....

So if Sauron really was in the USN what was he lying about? Did he claim to have been a Seal?

I found a post about him being on the receiving end of a 4 ship A-7E attack, assuming I'm reading it correctly, with a quick search. Maybe (also assuming that FAC/CAS type situations was a stretch for a cook that is) it was "there I was.." claims like that.

I wish... I could be with people who have this precept in real life. But then again that doesn't matter anymore anyway in the short run.

Sorta no, sorta yea.

He never said SEAL specifically. He did imply that he was serving earlier than that, as UDT, basically Navy guy doing ground work. But the stories he told, were all about rather exciting ground action...that no REMF cook would see. But ok, it didn't quite add ip, but I was willing to give benefit of doubt, there are exceptions...very extremely RARE exceptions.

But then he lashed out, no idea what prompted that, but in accusing others, he inadvertently exposed his own claims as bogus. Suddenly people went from thinking he was hardcore old school warrior, to wondering if he ever did a patrol with live ammo...that's a long fall from grace.

After being exposed as a fraud, he seemed to disappear soon after realizing he wasnt going to regain his status.

What does the imposter get out of faking dress uniform? Is it just personal satisfaction from getting respect from people? Why would a guy go to all that trouble?

For the same reason why several Union officers during the ACW paid money for a Medal of Honor; to have respect and awe from others even though it's all a facade.

Wow I didn't realize that about Sauron, sad. I was in USN also and had scary/interesting moments but nothing combat related. The only real challenge i had was trying to keep my plate of eggs on the breakfast table in rough seas.

That guy had a serious mental condition, I'm quite sure, just from looking at those few photos.

My personal observation is that American culture elevates the military to hero status, literally lionises every person in a uniform - certainly to a much greater degree than any other country or society I can think of.

Which makes it low hanging fruit for attention seekers and guys who enjoy basking in the adulation of others.
