AverageNCO sent us a link to the Cortez Journal<\/a> which tells the story of Jason Truitt who claims to be a Navy SEAL who had been a POW in Afghanistan and wounded countless times. All of which earned him a free hunting trip and a Weatherby rifle;<\/p>\n

It was a harrowing seven tours. He was shot 11 times. He was declared missing in action, twice a prisoner of war. Once he was MIA for two months and 14 days.<\/p>\n

He was tortured and disfigured. He was shot in the stomach, requiring several feet of his intestines to be removed. His tattooed skin is covered in scars. He has vision in only one eye.<\/p>\n

But he never entered a combat situation that he didn\u2019t want to.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been through a lot, bro,\u201d he said bluntly. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of hard to talk about.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to our buddy, Captain Larry Bailey, who himself spent 27 years as a SEAL and now spends his time busting phoney SEALS, tells us that it’s even harder to talk about when you’re “100% fake”. What set off bells for me was that I went to the publicy available list of POWs and MIAs at DoD and he wasn’t listed – that’s the same thing that the author of the story could have done.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s the hardest thing about being in the military, people ask me. I simply tell them, coming home. You go through all of these Christmas\u2019s sitting in a foxhole and getting mortared, and people are back home eggnoggin\u2019 by the fire,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve come to hate the holidays. Every year I have some kind of breakdown around the holidays.\u201d<\/p>\n

Truitt said every time he returned, the homecoming celebrations would fade after a while, and that the aftermath of his experiences as a soldier would resurface.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re a hero for the first two months and then your problems set in and all of the sudden you become a burden to your family, and they realize what actually happened to you over there. It\u2019s things that people don\u2019t talk about and they never will talk about,\u201d he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The hardest part about coming home is seeing all of the phonies stealing your valor.<\/p>\n

Captain Bailey writes to tell us that he’s offered to help the author of the story save himself from criticism by busting Truitt publicly for his bullshit stories of daring do, so there will probably be a follow-up to this story.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
