The US Military Spec Ops Community is VERY small, so if you claim to be a...US Army Green Beret, USMC Force Recon, US Navy SEALs(or UDT), USAF ParaRescue or Forward Air Controllor or USCG Rescue Swimmer. You had BETTER have the “goods” or you WILL be found out.
This is an interesting statement:
Newville pastor admits his tale of being a Navy SEAL was just 'an ego-builder'
Excerpt:
We deal with these guys all the time, especially the clergy. Its amazing how many of the clergy are involved in those lies to build that flock up, Shipley said. --------------------------------------------------------------
Does anybody have any verifiable knowledge that clergy are especially prevalent fake veteran pretenders? It would be interesting to see a percentage breakdown of occupations. So many preachers I know are real veterans (like
Dave Roever) that I find this statement hard to believe. Dave Roever also runs a sort of seminary or training camp for amputated and severely burned combat veterans to become preachers. I guess we know
they aren't fakers.
