Roger sends us a link from WFFA<\/a> in Dallas\/Fort Worth where Carlos Felipe Luna-Gonzalez was scooped up by Texas Ranger Anthony Bradford, an Army veteran when they set up a “sting” operation to roll up Luna-Gonzalez and his pretending ways. According to the article, Mr SEAL had been parading around town in a Navy uniform wearing the rank of a Lieutenant Junior Grade as well as a Special Warfare Badge and some medals, including the Purple Heart. He also had photos posted on social media. <\/p>\n

Someone made a report to Ranger Bradford who enlisted the support of a local gun shop owner and tricked Luna-Gonzalez into showing up to accept a “firearm of appreciation” for his phony service. Of course, being a phony, and in the whole fake SEAL thing for the attention, Luna-Gonzalez fell for it and showed up in his phony uniform. <\/p>\n

Gonzalez came to the meeting Saturday in dress blue Navy uniform with an officer’s insignia, the Navy SEAL Trident and a Purple Heart, and told the store’s owner about how he had been shot in combat.<\/p>\n

He was presented with a rifle worth $2,300, which he accepted, and was taken into custody and charged with theft, tampering with a government document, and for presenting a fraudulent military record.<\/p>\n

He was released after posting $18,500 bond.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In reality, Luna-Gonzalez had been sent home early from the Navy with a general discharge as a seaman apprentice, and of course, he wasn’t a SEAL nor had he been wounded in combat. I hope it was all worth it, buddy. Thanks to the Texas Rangers and all of the folks involved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
