I intended to wait until Adams was was found so I&#8217;d seem like less of an asshole, but my inherent assholness overtook my common decency. Having said all of that, I hope they find him alive and well, but then he can stop the lie.<br \/>\n________________________________<br \/>\n<strong>UPDATED:<\/strong> Unfortunately, Token Adam was found dead yesterday. We join his family in their grief, as it appears that he was a brave and honorable father and husband as well as a firefighter. Unfortunately, we&#8217;ll never know who said that Adam was a SEAL, we can only authoritatively say that he is\/was NOT a SEAL &#8211; which is pretty much all that we said from the beginning.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"http:\/\/eplayer.clipsyndicate.com\/embed\/iframe?aspect_ratio=3x2&#038;auto_next=1&#038;auto_start=0&#038;page_count=5&#038;pf_id=9201&#038;pl_id=21500&#038;rel=3&#038;show_title=0&#038;tags=news_local&#038;va_id=4301987&#038;volume=8&#038;windows=1\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So there&#8217;s this fire fighter guy who is lost in a New Mexico wildfire by the &hellip; <a title=\"Token Adams; not a SEAL (UPDATED)\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=37412\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Token Adams; not a SEAL (UPDATED)<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[75],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-37412","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blue-skies"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37412","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=37412"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/37412\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=37412"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=37412"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=37412"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
