Ex-PH2 sends us the latest news from the <a href=\"http:\/\/newssun.suntimes.com\/news\/21031142-418\/police-chief-admits-to-false-claims-about-military-record.html\">Lake County New-Sun<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p> The statement, which was accompanied by a military service record summary, added that Kerkorian entered the Navy in 1986. Kerkorian said he was selected for SEAL training but was honorably discharged in February 1987 without having started BUDS school.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn my application to join the Waukegan Police Department, I indicated that I was a SEAL trainee, which is a true statement that does not mean that I was awarded a pin as a member of the SEALS or that I finished seal training, which takes 26 weeks behind basic training,\u201d Kerkorian said.<\/p>\n<p>Kerkorian added that \u201cI did misrepresent my Naval service. This was wrong of me and accept full responsibility for statements that I made to my fellow officer which were not true and indicated that I was involved military actions which I was not.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In the article, the mayor, Wayne Motley, says that he thought that it was important that the truth is known, which is 180 degrees from what he said initially. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=36071\">In the first post <\/a>we wrote about the police chief, we quoted the mayor;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Questioned about his new chief\u2019s military record, Motley said he had not looked at Kerkorian\u2019s personnel file and the two had never discussed his service. His military credentials are \u201cnot relevant to his employment as chief,\u201d Motley said, describing himself as \u201cvery pro-Kerkorian.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There are too many people out there who think that Stolen Valor is no big deal. Persistence works to overcome that misconception.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just yesterday we published the FOIA of Waukegan Police Chief Robert Kerkorian, the phony SEAL.
