They say that he&#8217;s been telling his tall tales for more than twenty years. It goes like this; he was in the Royal Australian Navy during Vietnam and then when he got out, the US Navy snatched him up, I guess because we didn&#8217;t have enough phony SEALs of our own, we needed to recruit some more.<\/p>\n<p>According to our friends, he had pretty unremarkable career as an ordinary seaman for two years;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It is hard to believe that the United States Navy SEALs would recruit an unspectacular Australian Ordinary Seaman, who after nineteen months service of a nine year enlistment period, was discharged from the RAN as being &#8220;Unsuitable&#8221;, as indicated below on his official RAN file.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>After being snapped up by US Navy SEALs and returned to Vietnam. He tells of his mission to extract Australian Secret Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) Officers from the Australian Embassy in Saigon. He says -;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We had to remove all identification and of course wear &#8216;civvies&#8217; we made a high speed dash up the river to a pick up point. We got them, as it was pretty crowded, we did a hot extraction&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Then in a secret RAN unit he did operations in Australia:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We had to come up river to the New Farm area of Brisbane in the 1970s. Removed all identification and wear civilian clothes because if we were caught we were on our own. The mission was to remove documents from an office on the river bank, then do a high speed extraction down the river&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Whilst serving on HMAS Hobart<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He became inebriated in Singapore. His ship left without him. He had to \u2018hitch hike\u2019 to Vietnam to try to catch his unit. On the way he was caught up in a battle, but was rescued by the Green Berets&#8221;.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>But you should click over and read the whole thing. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our friends at the Australian\/New Zealand Military Imposters website sent us a link to one of &hellip; <a title=\"Barry Francis Hayden; a phony SEAL from down under\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=38707\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Barry Francis Hayden; a phony SEAL from down under<\/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":[30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-38707","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-phony-soldiers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38707","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=38707"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38707\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=38707"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=38707"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=38707"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
