You all know the story, we took part in this thing a few months ago, and it’s finally getting the attention that it deserves. But, when you comment, please keep names out of your comment. This is a news story that was on ABC27<\/a> in York, Pennsylvania last night.<\/p>\n

“When people lie about being in the military, or even more common, when those who served in the military embellish their records. These are not harmless liars. According to U.S census, for out of five guys that claim service in Vietnam are lying about it. That is how bad this problem is,” said Shipley.<\/p>\n

Shipley gets hundreds of emails a week about potential phony Navy Seals. He is one of few people entrusted with the Navy Seal database and can verify in a few key stokes if the people are the real deal or fakes. In some cases he calls the fakes and confronts them about their lies. He posts his public shamings on YouTube.<\/p>\n

“If I take down a phony Seal, I am taking down a whole bunch of you clowns with them, your Marine embellishers, your Army, whatever. Protecting the valor of all those guys is serious,” said Shipley.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
