He lost his right eye in an IED attack in Afghanistan in 2012, but that hasn&#8217;t slowed him down;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Under the spotlight that comes along with running for office, the details of Crenshaw\u2019s military career have become public knowledge, and caused some to think he\u2019s got to be making it up, or embellishing at the least.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s because of this that a number of people have contacted the man known for finding and outing SEAL impostors, retired Senior Chief (SEAL) Don Shipley. In fact, Shipley says he\u2019s had more people reach out to him questioning Crenshaw\u2019s credentials than any other individual, with some of those questions coming from within the SEAL community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf he knew how many people I\u2019ve verified him to\u2026 maybe the eye patch is part of it,\u201d Shipley says with a laugh. \u201cSome of the old-school SEALs have asked me about him because they think there\u2019s nobody out there with his quals and everything. I tell them right away \u2018hey, this guy is legit, the real deal, and you don\u2019t wanna mess with this young man.&#8217;\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I don&#8217;t want to steal too much of Eric Dehm&#8217;s work on Dan, so click over and read the rest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The folks at Connecting Vets sent us a link to their bio of Dan Crenshaw, a &hellip; <a title=\"Dan Crenshaw, SEAL for Congress\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=76586\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Dan Crenshaw, SEAL for Congress<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":76587,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[226],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-76586","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-veterans-in-the-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76586","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=76586"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76586\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/76587"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=76586"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=76586"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=76586"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
