Seems that Billy Shelton better half responded to the post about her husband’s military history<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Billy is my husband and I just came across this website. I know him very well. He spent endless hours and days training Marcus and Morgan. He loves them like a his own, and they are not the only guys he trained. He did not charge a dime for his time and mental and physical training. How many of you out there give a d\u2026. or would take hours out of your busy week to train young men, half of you don\u2019t spend an hour a day with your own children.<\/p>\n

Yes, a few things he did say was wrong. When he was asked to do a book, he told the writer he wanted it to be about the workout, but that wasn\u2019t good enough, they wanted more, more of what would sale a book, so he did say the wrong things, but never to make money, they are just p\u2026. because they paid hime $35,000.00 and didn\u2019t get to publish the book. Now he has been asked to pay it back.<\/p>\n

Morgan and Marcus were hurt, yes, but they still care about him, and talk to him, you all don\u2019t know the whole story. Every book you read has been beefed up and every little detail is not the truth. So please before you criticize, have you ever made a mistake and been forgiven. He was never trying to make money off the book, the other people insisted on pushing for more on Marcus so they could sale the book. Even when he wanted to try and put together a ranch for wounded soldiers, they said they had to have Marcus envolved or it would not take off. People thrive on drama, the truth is Billy is a very loving compassionate man who cares very much for his family and the men and women who serve his country. He has spent hours physically and mentally training young men, no money paid, because he had the ability to do so and wanted to. His work out is very different from any other. <\/p>\n

You spend one day in Viet Nam back in the 60\u2019s, rather combat or not, tell me how you liked it, and how did it effect you? We have lots of pix from over there and yes men in his group where killed. I could go on and on, but this person is trying to discredit a man who did a lot for those boys and others and they don\u2019t hate him. Ask them yourself.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

My reply;

\nExcept that this is not a simple lie or mistake. This is him pretending to be something he is not and lie about being some place that he was not.<\/p>\n

While his actions in helping people is commendable and should not be ignored. It should not be ignored that he pretended to be a Special Forces Sergeant and claim extra tours that he did not do. Also regardless what they wanted it is still a lie. A lie that he was about to make 35,000 dollars on the the blood sweat and tears of those who passed and served as real Special Forces. Those who served multiple tours as combat vets. All of gain with none of the suffering. Again this is not just a \u201csimple\u201d mistake.<\/p>\n

I spent 14 months in Iraq, while not Vietnam I can tell you that is has not caused me to inflate my military service. Again while he served honorable with one tour, consider this. What about the people that where still in Vietnam when your husband claimed he was there when in reality was home safe in the United States doing a job that he never was qualified to do. If he was such a hard charger then why did he not go to Q school?<\/p>\n

Yet despite all of this you want us to view this as a simple white lie like when a kids gets caught eating cookies before supper.<\/em><\/p>\n

All in all it can be argued that he did good things but just because I agree with his other actions compared to those that i do not for example Jesse Macbeth is not a excuse for not calling on someone lying about their military service. More so to this extent.<\/p>\n

I mean I still caught grief trying to add my second Star to my Iraqi Campaign medal even when I brought in proof<\/a> along with my ERB and deployment orders saying that I could add it. <\/p>\n

To the point the good is not enough for us to overlook the mistakes made by this man. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
