The Mountain News which published a story about a clown who claimed that he commanded SEAL Team 6<\/a> and spent 31 years as a SEAL which we discussed last week, has admitted that perhaps they’d been a bit hasty<\/a> in trotting out this particular fairy tale;<\/p>\n

A Freedom of Information request to ascertain whether Carl was ever trained as a Navy SEAL was submitted this week. However, Eric Erdmann, Freedom of Information coordinator at the Navy’s base in Coronado, California, said confirmation could not be provided by press time.<\/p>\n

However, Wikipedia, the online Encyclopedia, says SEAL Team 6 was disbanded in 1987 and replaced by a new unit, designated at the Navy’s Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU).<\/p>\n

The final commanding officer of the unit formerly known as SEAL Team 6 listed on that website was Capt. Scott P. Moore, who led the unit from 2004-06, a period that includes the time Carl claimed to have led the unit.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So basically, they’re admitting that they’re doing their research retroactively. Funny how they discovered Wikipedia after they ran the article. I wish they’d tell us this goof-ass’ name so we can do our own research on him, because at this point, they have no credibility. <\/p>\n

His story was provably false from the first paragraph when he convinced the “journalist” that he went from Parris Island to Coronado. I’m sure the Navy has enough volunteers and they don’t need Marines to be SEALs…and I don’t think a Marine would want to be a sailor, anyway. <\/p>\n

Even when Mountain News gets the FOIA, are they even going to know what they’re reading? They need me on their staff, the buttnuggets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
