<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nC.D. sends us a link to WFAA in Texas<\/a> with a story about how they busted Steve Haynes, a contractor for the city of Plano, and director of risk management of Southern Specialized Risk Options<\/a> who claimed that he was a Navy SEAL. He claims that he didn’t finish the SEAL training because the Navy needed him for some special mission, that only he could do as a half-trained SEAL. Sounds totally legit, doesn’t it? He was also awarded the Bronze Star and Purple Heart for his participation in Desert One, you know the failed Iran hostage rescue mission in 1980. Again, totally legit, right?<\/p>\n Here is a screen shot from the video of the DD214 he showed the reporter;<\/p>\n The Bronze Star and Purple Heart look totally legit on that DD214, don’t they?<\/p>\n News 8 obtained his DD214, a paper trail of his military career, from the POW Foundation, which obtained it from the Navy. It includes neither a Purple Heart nor a Bronze Star.<\/p>\n The document indicates Haynes served aboard the U.S.S. John F. Kennedy \u2014 not the Nimitz.<\/p>\n Haynes said he was transferred to the Nimitz as a part of a secret mission, during which he was wounded. That led to his medals. He said he got the medals after he left the service, which is why they\u2019re not on records supplied by the Navy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Yeah, but they happen to appear on the DD214 that he has, but don’t pop-up in a FOIA. The report goes on that he has a degree from a diploma mill, that his career as a law enforcement officer was limited to an auxillary stint that he embellished. The news report starts at about 1:50 in the video;<\/p>\n![\"Haynes](\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Haynes-DD214-300x169.jpg\")
