Nice “salute”, you POS.
Clue #1 - Sloppy assed salute.
Clue #2 - Too fat to be a SEAL.
Clue #3 - Too young to be a Lieutenant.
That crappy attempt at a salute should have outed this POS, right away.
Bastard.
Just look at the picture. Saluting without a cover is not permitted in the Navy or Marine Corps. That right there ought to tip people off that this guy wasn’t in the Navy. Also, does anyone think a Navy Seal as young as this guy looks to be would be lumpy and fat?
Note the salute angle compared with the real servicemen’s. Maybe that gave him away? I never served but am under the impression that that there’s a right way to salute.
The salute looks wrong, and check out the guy behind and to his left - looks like he’s eyeballing Dreasden.
The first thing he needs to learn is how to execute a proper salute. When I was the lowliest of low midshipmen, I learned that on about day 2. You can spot this guy as a fraud just from that.
>>Last month, attorneys for a Colorado man who falsely claimed to be a decorated Marine Corps veteran argued the law was an unconstitutional violation of free speech, the Denver Post reported.<<
I suggest that REAL veterans beating this poseur to a bloody pulp would be THEIR expression of free speech...
String him up. The reason more than just being a jerk is because for everyone one of these turds it really puts a cloud of suspicion on all Navy Seals and other military folks. That salute gives the fraud away pretty clearly. Now some schools will use this story as an excuse not to have military visiting the schools.
Didn’t know that the seals had fat officers that don’t know how to salute.
Questions about Dreasden's service were first raised in an online special operations community forum called SOCNET.com.I haven't been able to find a Stolen Valor Ping List. Is there one, already? If not, is there any interest in starting one?
Fatboy needs a good A$$-whipping.

What’s the big deal.
Dick Blumenthal, draft dodger, lied about serving in Vietnam.
And he’s a Senator now.
Maybe he’s a talent scout for Disney.
On Memorial Day I saw a U.S. Navy commander in dress blue uniform wearing the trident at Fort Rosecrans Cemetery on Point Loma (San Diego). He was visiting the graves of Iraqi War dead, including dead sailors. I specifically noticed that he was not wearing a name tag.
I hate to say this but perhaps only folks with an ID card should be able to wear the uniform. Maybe ensure that they show the ID card before any event where the public will be there. The school did a very poor job keeping those kids safe. That guy could have been some psychotic idiot and bombed the place or something. I am retired and not even sure if retirees should wear the uniform after they are done (perhaps to be buried in of course)....I need to hear other people’s opinion of that last sentence.
That sorry ass salute would have been a dead giveaway for me. The member on each side of him are rendering proper salutes. Not to mention that I have never, EVER, seen a FAT ASS SEAL.
And by the way, the soldier to his right is NOT an SSG, he’s a SGT. In fact, his rank patch is blurry enough he could even be a CPL.
Impersonating a military member, especially an officer, is a criminal offense and this scumbag needs to be prosecuted.
He wasn’t a Seal, he was a Whale.
