For those who don’t remember, Darrell Tracht<\/a>, was the gun dealer in South Carolina who we caught, thanks to a Blackfive reader, wearing a SEAL Trident along with a CIB and a pair of jump wings. Well, he mailed the other night, intially, to tell me to “get [my] facts straight”. As I predicted when I wrote post, he told us that he was wearing the Trident at a “wounded warrior” event to “honor” SEALs. Of course, I wasn’t buying it. So I asked about the claims on his website that he was an “operator” with Special Operations in combat. <\/p>\n

That’s when he finally fessed up and came clean. He realized that I wasn’t budging and he wanted me to call him on the phone, but my hearing is shot and I don’t like talking on the phone. But in the end, he sent along his apologies to us for trying to be something he wasn’t. If you look at his records, I don’t know why he felt he needed to embellish. A drill sergeant who spent years in the 82d and wears an 82d combat patch with a CIB is all something I envy.<\/p>\n

Anyway, last I looked his website was down, I assume because he told me that he’s editing it to remove the offensive shit. His Facebook page was also down. So I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt and think he’s learned his lesson. I hope the rest of the phonies out there learn from this, but I have no illusions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
