Navy SEAL Don Shipley Stolen Valor Fake Fraud Phony Military Veterans Special Forces

[CryptoDriver]

AWESOME stuff... Love busting liars and fakes in any venue, but this is GREAT. As a former Marine nothing but love, admiration and respect for SEALS, I could never do it... I think the hardest part for most people would be doing so much cool shit and not being able to talk about it, your average regular Joe loves to brag.

[MMAbadassbrett]

I'm going to go take a nap.

[Roiitokoloshe]

I have only just "discovered" your site. I love it. I agree with you 110%. Keep doing what you are doing, busting the liars & helping those who join your courses to better themselves or prepare to go even further.

I wish you the very best of luck.

[ZEEMADMAN2]

So I'd Appreciate any Ideas or Plans to Trap any,or all of these TROLLS,& show them exactly what a Real Combat Veteran can do.Disabled or Not,I've got at least one Good Fight left in Me.Just no fists, or hand to hand, just a few Guns. Like AR-15's,12 Gauge Shotguns,.45 ACP's, & .308 Rifles. I like HK & Benelli. Best Shelf Products You can buy! Along with CORBON,Winchester,Sabot's, Made In America Factory Ammo! I know My Trade. Been there, done that,got the T-shirt,wore it out,now it's a Gun Rag!

[ZEEMADMAN2]

The TROLLS want to call that Cowardice. I say BullShit! Fill Your Hand! A Blow to the Head can Kill Me! I Beat Cancer, 5 Years. AnEqualChanceAtDeath. I ServedHonorably for 26+Years. I only mentioned it in Passing.They were all over it. They Hate Veterans, &Military. They are the Cowards.Not Me.I Can't Kill what I Can't See! So how do I find these Piss Ants? Or even their Family! They've pushed this, not Me. They sneak around, make Fake Threats, & never show up. Then try to blame Me. Continued...

[ZEEMADMAN2]

My First Mistake, Blogging on Craigs List Rants & Raves. My Second Mistake, Using a Moniker. TROLLS were all over that. I used FED UP! They Stole that & turned it into FEDDY! So then I switched to ALASKA! They Stole that one to. So finally I went to "A COMBAT VETERAN WHO LIVES IN ALASKA!!, AKA ALASKA!!" They've tryed to steal that one to. So what I need to know is How do I hunt them down? I can't & won't do Boxing or Chop Saki, I had Brain Surgery. But I'm Up for a Gunfight! Now, Continued...

[mistergrin]

It's disturbing to hear that even chaplains are impersonating SEALs. I didn't even know that scumbags impersonating uniformed personnel existed until I've seen Mr. Shipley's videos.

[classiclistener01]

@Buds131 - With all due respect, SChief, how can anyone get away with this lying in public? They can, and, will, when picking up some girl at a darkened bar, or, speaking to a small group of people who know little or nothing!?!? But, once it's out, don't members of the team, platoon or operation come forth to deny the imposters' involvement? This is not only shameful, as you said, this is also bordering on sacred blasphemy.

Take care, my friend; and, God bless you! :)

I want to earn the trident some day, but first I am going for the EGA. Shipping out Sep09 2011.

[pnutbutrncrackers]

Very interesting video. Thanks.

[finishstrongdoc]

It's very tempting to "buff up" one's military record, but the paperwork doesn't lie. Can a guy get past the DD214 paperwork? I'm asking cuz now there's a famous Catholic evangelist who says he was Green Beret trained , but never went to "Nam cuz of a knee injury. I gotta confess here I tried to do a little BS, was on USS Oriskany for 4 during Nam, never went in-country, said I did. Sorry, but I was a bs'r & now I keep on the DL I'm outing myself here

[madmedic92]

It really pisses me off every jackass trying to pass themselves off as a SEAL. I've never been on the Secret Squirrel side of the house, but I know one thing, once lead starts flying up range it doesn't matter. Keep up the good work brother.

[djmooreUSMC]

Nothing but respect for my SEAL buddies. The Corps is my home and heart, but i will always have much respect for all the frogboys. Oorah Department of the Navy, green AND blue!

All stolen valor is repayed with teeth and black eyes.

[ChromeGhost0219]

where is you're course at mr. Shipley?

[ChromeGhost0219]

hey Mr. Shirpley where is you're course at?

[TheHandyman1957]

Hi Don, I worked with a guy who was a damn fake. Once on Verterans day the compnay put all the vets on a special Thank You notice in the Cafeteria and teh branch we were in. He said Navy, He forgot he had told me he was kicked out in less than 2 months after joing in. It is these kinds of pukes that I can't stand. Take credit for something they were either to scared to do or couldn't do. He was not man enough to be in The Armed Forces. Keep up the good work.

[awesomedandy]

Jeeze, I had a dipshit private tell me he was gonna buy Airborne wings to put on his class A's when he went home on leave. This was a week after I completed Airborne school, and I really wanted to punch him in the face. This was back in early 2006, too bad I didnt know about the Stolen Valor law back then when it was still in effect. Probably could have had him google it and scared some sense into him.

[hrobbins]

Making the rounds today in Yahoo news is how big time pastor Jim Moats was exposed by Don. This man lied to everyone. I love the pic or his epic face palm from being caught. Thank you for exposing him!!

[MerryMermaid1987]

You are my hero

[bostonkat02127]

@Buds131 u fucking rock man, its a good service you provide on here, especially when mother fuckers get caught and and get outted here on the most viewed internet site, maybe now we'll stop running into so many wannabes, thanks brother

[Cornampoo]

I think we don't have so much phonies in my country because we hardly celebrate our heroes at all. Which is a shame really.

[Niickk58]

I really respect what your doing! Catching those fuck face phonies. I don't understand why someone would lie about that but good job putting them out there!

[SAINTpio91006]

The ones that are so hard to grasp are the fakes that were really in the military which you would think is enough for the ego. For some weird reason they boost up their rank or do the fake seal thing. Its so sad because when a person says " I am a vet" now we have to really think twice or check it out. Do the fakes get arrested once caught? You cant impersonate a cop and get off easy , it should be at least the same crime and jail if you are a fake vet.

[ClubAverage]

On Aussie TV good on ya mate!!!

[HGRPhotography1]

Merry Christmas ........ thanks for all who have served, and are about to. Chris F of Nashville led me to your site .. he had a great time ... hope you're living the dream ;)

[HST40]

I wonder if people do this shit in the UK, like phony sas dickheads.

[DanSVT03]

@HST40 Oh of course. There are phonies in every corner of the world. Hell there are even phonies who say they graduated from the college I went to.

[OChelion]

he's wearing MARPAT (usmc camies )@ 2 12 this dude is a hater

[jpd782]

True story: When I was in the 82 Airborne. My roommate and I had a friend who was in the Special Forces (Green Beret) He was real deal. We were out in town, in uniform. A soldier in civilian clothes approached us and tried to tell our friend he was also Special Forces. He figured out he was a phony after about 2 questions. And proceded to rip him a new one.

[ArabsStank]

@jpd782 I believe 5th and 7th SFG share the same base as the 82nd (Ft. Bragg)....so it is likely that some imposter would eventually run into a real SF Soldier.

[jpd782]

@ArabsStank Yes...Well, my Friend's Friend, was in 3rd. SFG. Which is also at Ft. Bragg. But, yes. I know what you mean. I've haven't been on Bragg since December 1999. If I read, recently, they moved 7th. Group, to I think Florida? Why There, I don't know?

[pantern2]

I just get a bit curious. I never did any military service. Was a bit of a wreck during the drafting period and they didn't want me. (And, for honesty's sake, I didn't want to do it, so it suited me fine.)

Today I am studying Cognitive science at a University.

Here in Sweden it was mandatory to go to the drafting place at a certain age back then. (Isn't any longer.) If it had been today I had chosen not to do it. How do you feel about that?

[TheFishegg]

made me laugh!

[gtmercury]

look at my stupid ass lookin self at 7:32 haha you can tell by all of our faces that was rough morning...

[DASH1357]

@gtmercury You look like a badass Kenny, I look like an assclown at 2:18

[gtmercury]

@DASH1357 haha yea man i looked confused... who is this?

[Rushfan32935]

Shipley is a certified bad ass.

[tundraotto]

Don - whats a good way to check accuracy of commanding officers of WWII battles...Remagen bridge in particular...relative claiming credit.

[sperrytops]

Great interview Don! Keep up the great work!!!!

[coolseal141]

[trailbreaker11]

Well done!!

[mejt223]

I like this guy

[Wannabeaseal6]

Pieces of SHIT should get the firing squad.

[shaolinadr]

dam :( I was looking for this on sbs not abc :(

[Aaronr9555]

there is a teacher at my brothers school whos husband claims to be a former SEAL. i dont know his first name but i believe that last name is 'Sosnikki' something like that, anyways location is Phoenix Arizona.

[RoninKidd]

I love your attitude against phonies, especially against SEAL phonies.

Hopefully I'll get to take your courses soon.

-Chris

[wel9999999999]

Wow strong shoe size......

[sniper6394]

keep on busting them...there was a "Marine General" that attended various VFW functions in my town of Ramona CA. Turns out he was a seargent who decided to impersonate an officer. It was front page news in my town thankfully, sad how much this happens nowadays.

Man, i would love to go to one of your courses but i dont have the $ sadly...

So to verify a name do we send you an e-mail or is there another place we can have somebody's service verified?

Thanks,

Spenser

[Buds131]

@sniper6394::: Drop ma a PM with his full name...

[tundraotto]

@sniper6394

Using the term "sniper" as a screenname or whatever - is derogatory to all those who actually are...kinda like impersonating something one is not. I am assuming you are one.

[sniper6394]

@tundraotto well i have had this account since i was like 10 so i can't exactly change it now without creating an entirely new account and re-uploading all my vids. if it said"Army sniper" Or Marine"Sniper" then it would be a clearly different story, but if you look at my channel i don't claim to be or pretend to be one, so i am not taking anything away from anyone.

[gunvor69]

Why would u pretend ur a SEAL, that's dishonoring the SEAL name, they should just get a life and be what they are

[pokermaster54]

There is a phony seal who likes to hang out at stickam.com and his user ID is Seal2. He says stupid shit like his trident is in a bank safe, he knows richard marcinco, his swim buddy's name is classified information etc. When I confronted him about it I got kicked out by the moderator because he's respected. What pisses me off the most about him is that he makes seals look like insecure losers with a big ego. I also don't like his stupid Indiana Jones hat with a seal logo.

[Buds131]

@pokermaster54::: PM me some info... I'd LOVE to bust his PHONY ass...

[pokermaster54]

@Buds131

I haven't been on stickam in like 2 years but I just entered his name in the search box and found a picture of him with his favorite hat on. This is one of those types who lives the lie and apparently he's been living it for at least 2 years. I don't know how you would bust his ass considering he is just a member of stickam who frequents a group chat room called 30-40's according to his "friend". He was logged in most recently on 9/21/2010.

stickam(dot)com/stroker5

[mrfrosty8172]

@pokermaster54 just saw the hat

the guy looks goofy as hell

[FreshwaterAngling]

Great

[unanamys]

what age do you have to be to start your program?

[Buds131]

@unanamys::: 16...

[pepsidude308]

@Buds131 would you make an exeption?

im 100% sure i need to be a SEAL i dont care if that meens me fighting an aligator using only my ass cheecks

[Oxstayne]

America has A LOT of SF units or teams, we have been a guerilla fighting force since the revolution.

[BXBZ88]

Question to Don(Buds131)

What did you think of the episode that was done by Foreign Correspondent and were you familiar with any of those fakes shown before the show was put together?

[Buds131]

@BXBZ88::: I don't understand the question, Bro...

[BXBZ88]

@Buds131 Sorry,Just wondering if you thought they did a good job.Thats all

[Buds131]

@BXBZ88::: Yep... An EXCELLENT job and very important... They did very well...

[pokermaster54]

@Buds131 To learn where seal2 hangs out now I asked someone who is listed as one of his friends on his page. Her name is De Bee and she just told me something interesting... "swineflu: do you know seal2? De Bee: yes swineflu: which room does he usually hang out in? De Bee: 30-40'z swineflu: ok thanks swineflu: FYI he's not a real seal swineflu: he's a phony De Bee: my greatuncles were original seals De Bee: undercover De Bee: my father told me" My user name is swineflu. Weird I know...

[lilcobra58]

thank you for what you do, wish the government would take a harsher stand on this subject.

[thehalogamer12]

@lilcobra58 completely agree, thanks don!

[slipdude209]

Powerful stuff.

Great Video.

[jeratoll]

Great job Dan, Kick Ass.

[udderwize]

that was good. Thank you for all you do. and thanks to the man that fight for us to be free. And fuck anyone that lies just to look better.

[zextreme47]

Cool video. Very well said, and from someone who has been through it. I play airsoft and I dont try and dress up or pretend to be military. I wear the American flag (full color because I it is the home field here). But I hate it when people walk around with rank on if they aren't real and haven't earned it.

[blackhawlk2262]

well said don!
