Oh and lay off people who are not here defend themselves. 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.

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

Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. Matthew 5:11

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.
