But even if you did it would only be an exaggeration...the losers Shipley outs never even served or were discharged almost as soon as enlisting. These ppl who fake their service are both liars are dangerous sociopaths to society bc they try to use their facade to attain power and prestige. They have no honor. And I never served in any branch of military but I pride myself on it. When I was 16 i decided to never cut my hair for any1 or thing...then decided to take a stand against military industrial complex by abstaining from the economy of projectile weapons and took the french code of chivalry that prohibits use of projectile weapons in honorable combat. So I stayed true to my vows and joining military or cops would break my oath.

I was mistaken for a SEAL once. I fell asleep on a beach after half a bottle of Bombay Saphire and the locals brought down a farmer with a tractor and a sling to try get me back out into the water.
lol my gramps got super drunk on vacation and started clapping and barking like a seal, and jumped in the ocean, and a damn barracuda bit him in the chest
No, this guy is a sexuall deviant and probably has rape and molested children cause no one would ever talk about shit like that unless they have done something similar.
@HDJonnyU As a woman, that pissed me off as well. I was young enough while most of Viet Nam was happening, and my parents didn't discuss it, so I don't even know the paper they subscribed to had much info on the SEALs or any of the military. The other story that pisses me off is the story (of troops in Viet Nam) about raping women and children. I was in Junior High when troops were starting to return home, and what I did see on the news was troops getting spit on by people because of what they had read in the papers about the things they did to women and children. I wasn't there, so I can't say if it did or didn't happen, but what those troops got from people when they got home was ridiculous. They didn't realize that our troops were forced to go over there, it wasn't their choice.I don't know what all they did, but when I see a retired serviceman, I make it a point to shake their hand if they are able, and tell them thank you for serving. My son served with the 82nd Airborne, and came home from Afghanistan surviving an IED among other things. That terrifies me, but I'm proud of his service.
@@427maxI'm sure it happened takes a particular type of person to join military 1 for a job 2 to follow family tradition 3 for legal murder. That's how I see it
It seems like a sickness. The I want to be awesome without putting in the work type of sickness. Then make a fool out of myself on the internet claiming to be something I’m not. It’s weird for sure. I agree though there are so many and I can’t believe they haven’t heard of Don.
When I was a kid in the early 90s we had a family friend that was a "Seal". His wife figured out that due to all his stories they would have VA benefits. She did some research and.... now she has a new husband that isn't a pathological liar.
Same here. It was sad. An older woman from my church married the guy. We were so happy for her. We all thought he was a war hero. One night, he told his story at church. A bunch of us in High School had just watched "The Dear Hunter" and "Platoon". His story was a combination of the two. Turned out he was in the Coast Guard (or something like that)... I mean no disrespect to the Coast Guard (they helped my family on a few occasions), but if they say they were a Seal and POW, that's a problem.
@@joshuabray37 From what i understand, the Coast Guard is actually the most selective branch. Not as selective as SEAL training, but that they reject a fairly highly percent of all applicants.
It's one thing to lie about serving your country but slandering our fellow Veterans who put their lives on the line to protect others is about as despicable as it gets. Thank you Chief, for setting the record straight.
Can you imagine spreading that story about raping dead women. It's just a serious mental disability. These people are just attention seeking maggots, pulling at the heart strings of all good people. They are no better than the modern day internet scammers and all these social media scams. This man is despicable. Absolutely disgrace. His family must be so mortified
You mean like Trump? I can’t take these guys seriously when they’ll vote and support a man that will trash fellow veterans as well as the constitution.
You need to read about the My Lai massacre. Americans absolutely raped and killed women and children on a massive scale in Vietnam. They weren't protecting the USA, they were killing innocent locals. A million innocent Iraqis were killed by America to steal their oil, just in recent years. You don't really think America is spreading freedom and democracy? Every nation they've been at war with has a stack of oil or natural gas etc like Afghanistan. That was all about the control of pipelines. Google trans-Afghan pipeline. Gaddafi wanted to start selling oil in gold instead of the petrodollar so the USA overthrew him and put Islamic extremists into power. America actually support Saudi as they support the petrodollar but converting to Christianity is punishable by death in Saudi. It is the most oppressive nation on Earth. ZERO human rights. They keep that power with American backing because America wants to oil. As long as nations use the petrodollar the USA can basically print money. So millions dead and all these wars for American control of oil. You do know that the CIA overthrew the democratically elected leader in Persia, which led to the Islamic revolution. That's not a conspiracy this is a known fact. So the USA is responsible for that as well as they wanted the oil. It was a peaceful democracy but the US tried to put a dictator in charge and they fought back. Google the 1953 Iranian coup d'état. So yes, the USA tortures and murders women and children. Over a million innocents killed so far this century. All for oil.
Senior Chief Shipley, your patience is far beyond human imagining. Thank you for your prior service and now you're continuing to serve through this channel.
I'm a former Army Quartermaster who served in a unit of 19 Kilos. Like many who served, I am proud of my service and have no need to embellish with fake stories of valor and grandeur. Kudos to you, Mr Shipley, for all you do to honor those who served (Seals and otherwise)!
I worked with a fake "cia" guy with ridiculous stories. He'd show off military memorabilia that he was given due to his "heroics". We all knew he was full of crap. These guys are insecure and compulsive liars.
@@asmith1711 As a DI he was pretty tough on the recruits. He really reminded me of actor and Marine drill Sergeant Lee R Ermey in "Full Metal Jacket". He was that tough. He was Marine through and through. He fought in both the Korean and Vietnam wars. He had 20 years in and could have retired but he choose to re-up and go to Vietnam where he was killed in July 7th 1967. He really choose the Marines over his family. He left behind a wife and two kids. I was his only son, and he had high hopes for me in the Corps.
Sorry for your loss. My Dad was also a DI at Paris Island during Korean war era. Loved my dads leadership qualities, he spent 40 years at IBM after getting an engineering degree. His father was in the Navy. Yes, it is ashamed people lie about their Military background, no need, everyone was an important piece.
I will never understand the need to lie about service. I was Marine Corps Infantry for 4 years and I honestly couldn't be more proud of what I did, I can't revere those that did more, and I can't thank the support guys enough for my time in service. Be proud of what you've done and if you haven't done anything, just be proud to be an American.
It’s all these cowardly beta males. I did my time same as you for 8 years and saw some rough stuff but you’ll never hear me bragging, embellishing or lying about a damn thing cause just like you I’m damn proud of my service.
I believe friends are far more impressed when I tell then the truly horrific ATLANTIC STORMS and HURRICANES that I survived crossing over on the "floating bomb" USS NITRO AE23. We have enough brave "rites of passage" to be proud of.
I was a lowly fisheries officer for the Cayman Islands government for 9 years from 2005 to 2014. I served with former US and UK military. No one ever felt the need to lie about their service or pad their stats. These people are pathetic and I hope you keep outing them. Good work.
I'm a retired Seal , i was in Team 9.5 and served with King Arthur during 15 tours of Mordor. It breaks my heart that so many fakes are out there. Great work Don. 👏
My Dad was a gunners mate in the mid 50s, on the USS Roanoke. He never saw any action, but he was lucky enough to travel around the world. RIP Dad 🙏❤️🇺🇲
Army vet here , Glad you are calling these scum out it makes my services seem illegetamate when these idiots do this crap. PROUD U.S. ARMY VET . Keep up the good work sir. I used to work with a guy who said he was a seal , as a Vet you just know when someone is lying about their service or lack thereof its the way they speak or carry themselves.

Bruce used to work restroom security at a highway rest stop outside of Tightsqueeze, North Dakota, an incorporated town off of I-94, where he proudly claimed: "Men were men and sheep were nervous." He claimed he had an IQ double of most men (in the range of 390) and was so smart that Macgyver would actually call him for advice. He spends his free time wandering fence lines of the Midwest looking for the cash from the movie of Fargo since it was never found.
I am a 21 year military veteran and hate this shit with a passion. They need to be charged with a felony for this crap. Period. Thanks for all you do Sir. Keep it going. You gained my subscription today!
As much as hate it I don't think we can prosecute without the fraud bit too. We can't make lying illegal no matter how much we despise the lie. It's only unpopular speech that needs to be protected. We have to hold the protections of the constitution sacred since we were willing to die for them.
Think about it. If we started making public examples of criminals and crooks then what would happen to our wonderfully functioning justice system. I hate to think of all the lawyers that would be out of a job. It's scary really.
Such a shame. Sorry that you have to deal with these assholes. My dad was a Seabee, and I’m pissed that he dishonored Seals and Seabees in one fell swoop! Mofo! Thanks Senior Chief! God bless you!
@@tazverhagen7376 I was in Sea Cadets as a teenager and we used to drill with the reserve SeaBee unit on base pretty regularly including weapons qualification and heavy equipment operation
It actually bugs me when someone makes up rape stories, especially dead women, and killing children. Makes me wonder what kind of person he really is to even consider making up some shit like that. Keep up the good work and keep shutting them down, Don.
@@kefkahkefkah Oh bullshit! You were never there either or you wouldn't claim shit like that. You have either been fed bullshit and were gullible enough to believe it, or you made it up yourself, either way, you are spreading lies!
Don is like a skilled trial attorney doing a cross-examination, leading his victim into a false sense of security with casual questions, then makes the subject commit to testimony of certain "facts," and then springs the trap once there is no place to run.
Ran into my first phony special warfare guy as a 19 year old kid working construction. He never wore a shirt, sported at least 6 bullet wounds to the torso and would casually make threats as he bragged about his kills in Vietnam. Made up my mind that next time he threatened me he would have it to do, following his near death experience I learned that his wounds were the result of attempting to run over police who caught him stealing lumber. That, "Oh crap," look on his face still brings me joy 35 years later. Your videos do as well
I'm almost 60, and I was raised in Brevard County FL. We had a huge number of VN vets living there, and most of my friends had an older brother who served in VN. They would get into their cups and tell us all sorts of horror stories from their time in VN, but I never heard any stories like this moron is pushing. Thank you for your service and keep fighting the good fight!
Senior, you're the best! Thank you for all that you and your family have done and will continue to do. I know that this keeps you busy, and it is unbelievable that this still goes on. Take a rest Senior, we both know that you won't, but take time to regroup, eh?
The secondhand embarrassment is so strong every time I come back and watch these videos. It's so insane that someone would do shit like this, but even more insane that they'd continue to try to justify and explain it after they're obviously caught.
Douche chills galore. It's even worse when you recognize that they're repeating something they'd seen in a movie and you can name the exact film/book. Priceless.
The background confrontation that takes place on the other end of the line about 13 minutes in while Don sits there looking pleasantly entertained - was worth the price of admission. 😊
Part of me can’t believe that Don’s still at it after all these years, but the other part of me knows how operators and team cats are… they never let go of that bone once they’ve got it. They don’t just run to the objective, they’re picking up busted equipment, busted buddies and whistling Dixie the whole way. Keep crushin it, fellah! Much love!
@@joeborrajo186I’m a Seal Team 6/Dev-Gru/SBS/SAS/RSAS and I can vouch for what he’s saying. In Rhodesia we were laying dudes out left and right, and of course master sergeant John 113 just kept tying people up to feed them to rats. I graduated top of my class (class 69) and am an esteemed member of Gravy Meals, part of gaddafis elite guard. We also had the esteemed record of servicing under Agrippa in the battle against Marc Antony. He was a good man.
This shit is everywhere. I want to FOIA the VA to see how many Bob on the FOBs are getting 100% disability checks. In Afghanistan only 6% of troops went outside the wire at any given time, so with rotations and supply movements. I would guess only 20% of all troops that deployed to Afghanistan. Went outside the wire and “faced” danger. DEFUND THE VETS! Maybe then they’ll have the grit and tenacity to fight a system that has it out for us, and is against truth and reason. This country could use a old fashioned dust up. And it ain’t gonna happen if everyone is getting paid, fat, and chillin.
Something about him saying he couldn't recall how many guys they'd lost really got to me. There's two reasons you would forget the fallen, you weren't there or you didn't care and either one is infuriating.
They call that FADING FACTS, when the person who lies, starts trailing off or talks quiter because they are tellin lies and are trying to fly through the details! Thanks Don!
Mr Shipley….thank you for what you do sir. Your exposing liars and embarrassing them. On behalf of us disabled vets, God bless you and your family sir.
Retired HMC (SW/DV) IDC here. Thanks for all you do sir. Did a tour at Damneck in the dive locker. All the frogs I have known over the years, you would never know they were in the teams.

It always amazes me when these guys have trouble remembering names and dates. I served in the Dutch infantry and spent 6 months in Lebanon in 1981. That's 42 years ago and I remember every guy's name (and nickname) in my platoon.
I lived on a ship for 4 years only 20 years ago and I can barely remember a single persons name. It happens but these guys are a different level of nonsense.
It is hard to believe there are such people who would think they have to embellish their accomplishments in their military careers. Most citizens of this country are grateful and proud of those who honorably served, no matter in what capacity or rank.
What’s worse than even the idiots that claim to be SEAL is guys like this that tell lie’s about doing horrible crimes to women and children and act like it’s all good. These guys need to be prosecuted at the very least and put in prison for spreading nasty $hit like that!
There are a lot of compulsive liars out there and liars typically lie about what the know a little something about- if someone was in the Navy, well they were a scuba-diving killing machine. It's the one's who weren't in the Navy (or even the military for that matter) that blow my mind... this phenomena intersects with another reality- there a lot of stupid people out there!
I don't think people realize the hard work and dedication it takes to be a Seal when they pretend to be one. I doubt you would forget the people you would deploy with ever. Thanks for your service Mr. Shipley. :)
@@CB-ux5xc Same I only remember a couple people from my basic training and the only reason is because we went through ait and got the same duty station. I remember everyone I was deployed with though.
As a marine, I love Don Shipley. The details tell everything. And only certain questions can only have certain answers. I love how only real knows real.
I know a Marine that served 18 months in Vietnam, he was my best friends stepdad and closest thing I had to a father figure but he was a machine gunner for his platoon and extended 6 months because he was worried about his buddies.
I was in the navy, I was also a major f*ck up. I live with a lot of regrets and shame from that time of my life, but I would never claim to be something I wasn’t. Especially a Navy Seal. I've always admired and respected seals. Thanks for what you do Mr. Shipley! The truth, sets you free.
I was in the navy too (not the US navy) I was bloody good at my job for most of my time, then my wife and kids left, I kinda broke down and became a fuckup myself and discharged after I realised I couldn’t commit to the job the way I used to anymore. The fact is that not everyone has the guts to enlist, to give it a crack, leave their family, home and friends to try and be apart of something bigger The service is different to everywhere else, at least you took the leap and by the sounds of it you didn’t flunk out as a recruit. Don’t be too hard on yourself
Marine discharged early on my re-enlistment. That's me I was a fuckup. That was last year. I served, some of it was good, some not so much. We just need to be honest with ourselves, and with others. You'll always be a sailor, nobody can take that away from you. Keep you chin up devil dolphin
It's so infuriating when someone commits stolen valor, this story especially. I will never understand what compels someone to pretend to be a veteran. It really takes away from the people who actually went through hell and back.
You know if you have to lie about being in the military you are classified as a coward. You know I met someone kept telling all these war stories and I knew they were BS. And yes his name was Steve and the color is blood was definitely yellow.
To be honest, it’s the same reason why somebody picks up your debit card, and uses it until you report it stolen. Understand it a little bit now.? the younger they get, the more mental and goofy their stories are
Hate to see you shaking with anger Don. Don't let these stolen valour scumbags affect your health too much. At 57 you're still a young whipper snapper , plenty of years ahead of you. Love and respect to you and your lady wife from an old Limey vet. 🫡
wow - what a despicable fraud he is - your in depth knowledge and the fact you also fought your way up the ranks makes you a formidable enemy - love the way you trap these imposters....in many instances you are *too kind* to them but this just tells of your compassion even for these phonies. You are good!
Because some men(most are men but women get caught a few times) feel a badge or patch can make them stand out, look cool. Re-enforce their own self worth.
@DavidLLambertmobile True, I also think that some people really think other people are so dumb that they can say anything and not get questioned. It's a gross overconfidence.
Thank you for your service and for all you do to confront stolen valor. I am a proud Navy veteran and it pisses me off too when someone lies about serving our country to stroke their ego. Keep up the good work!
Glad you keep your tiny brotherhood pure. When you’ve risked your lives for each other it’s offensive for the undeserving to claim credit for such dedication, sacrifice, and honor. Thank you.
The self restraint you have is insane. And to be polite while listening to that bullshit takes another level of discipline to accomplish. Cheers sir. You’ve done it again. 🇺🇸💪🏼🇺🇸
I’m British ,not a veteran,but I find it terrible that someone would claim to be a vet when they never seen combat ,you guys fought for us to have our freedom and how someone can PRETEND to do the same ,makes me sick ,carry on exposing these idiots ,you handled that Fraud very well ,kept your composure ,that fraud makes my blood boil
My dad's retired Parachute Regiment (British Army)... We were just talking about the trend of stolen Valor in America but over here our squadies don't get the same respect so no real charge for "Walter's"(Brit who falsely claims service)

My Grandfather (currently 98 Years old) served in the Navy & was on the USS Hornet when it sunk in the battle of Santa Cruz. Anniversary of that is tomorrow (10/26). My grandpa NEVER talks about it & he rarely wears anything Navy related as well. We all know what he went through and know it’s obviously a touchy subject. The man hates flying but eventually he agreed to fly to San Francisco & go to Alameda to see the rebuilt Hornet. Except when my dad passed (his oldest son) I had never saw my grandfather cry. Not even when his wife of 70+ years passed back in may of this year. That’s when I knew that what this man went through changed him permanently. I appreciate what you do Don. It’s not just the fact that these people get the admiration & benefits that comes with stolen valor, they also get the peace of mind of not having the memories haunt them & change them as people forever. That’s what I think is the real heinous part.
I hope we don’t see you stroke out over these idiots. Love what you’re doing, and it’s important, but don’t let it effect your health, you’re too valuable
@@keithhutchins8803 "How is this important?" Are you actually serious with that question?? You really don't understand why the work Don Shipley does in exposing these Stolen Valor perpetrators is extremely important? Only someone who has absolutely zero respect for our military veterans would have no clue as to why this is important.
It really stings. The things he claimed he and his friends did to “survive” are the things service members should be preventing from happening. Americans wearing the uniform are ambassadors, and as Senior stated, his lies did nothing but hurt the image of not only the Navy and the US as a whole.
I love it, I’m finding myself anxiously awaiting the moment when he says “ do you recall what class you were in, there shipmate?” and then queue the reading glasses… gets me EVERY TIME 😂😂😂😂😂
My wife works at the VA hospital and it is funny how often someone sounds off about having been a frog. She mentions your name and more often than not they get real quiet
I have attended the VA for over a decade & never had any of my fellow veterans claimed to be anything they were not. I attend the VA monthly or more. It can't be that common among veterans especially the older generations. Probably the younger generations are fabricating their service. Considering the majority of them are WOKE now. Also, there's stolen valor rampant in the VA system as well. That's why I think there should be a task force to start investigating & confirming military service. ⚓
I was a VA employee: 085 Security & worked from 1998 to 1999. Around 20mo; temp federal post. I'm also a US Army veteran 🎗 4yr. 1990s. Stolen Valor became more common in 1980s, then grew 📈 after 2001, GWOT. I read a item about 12mo saying the DoD-Army says there are roughly 24 US POW veterans remaining total 📂, but the VA and state military sources provide POW support, benefits to over 124 "veterans". 😡
I served in the Marines, but I never deployed and all I did was work on F18s. Everytime I'm asked if I served my answer is "I was just a mechanic, I didn't deploy or do anything crazy." Simply because it's the truth, as well as I know so many that come back and try to be a hometown hero and tell the most bizarre stories to be the star of the town, sadly people believe it. I have buddies that did deploy and were in the shit, and out of respect for them and so many others I could never claim I did or endured the same when I certainly did not. Thanks to all the veterans out there. As to all the liars out there, the real ones know you're full of shit.
You go Senior Chief. I sincerely appreciate what you do. It is awesome, and also a shame at the same time. This from a retired Space Systems Operator USAF, prior Combat Comm... Keep up the good work, and Thanks for Your Service
I appreciate what you do. I was in the Corps for 20 years, not Recon, not Spec.Ops, just and grump continually pissed off Marine and that's always been good enough for me, I have trained with some operators after I was out and would never claim to be one, I'm just not in the same boat. Thanks for your work.
I was Recon. And I never even bring up service to anyone. I had people at work only find out through seeing my ID or license plate and then they say why didn’t I tell them for years. Anyone that talks a lot is usually BSing
My father was on SEAL Team 1 and he toured Vietnam 66-70 or 66-74. They were called frogmen. Under water demolition team. He always mentioned this drill instructor that ran 8 miles until he died in his 90s. One thing I do know Is a Navy Seal is NEVER retired and the only easy day was yesterday...
@@WillCutting-ms2wy I don't believe a word he said. I have a problem with people spreading bs like this painting us in a negative light. Most civilians honestly don't know much about what we do and will believe that shit

My Grandfather , Aussie , did WW1 in France, shot and gassed, did WW2 in north Africa and New Guinea, shot there as well. my father stowed away on an Aussie troopship going to Korea in 1953 as he was an army cadet at 17 YO and wasn't old enough, was fined 5 ponds and assigned as an officers assistant and when he turned 18 was allowed to fight and did so in the battle of the hook, he fought in the Malaya emergency mid 50s, joined the SAS company when commissioned in 1957, became SAS platoon commander then transferred to the AATTV to get to SVN first, being keen to fight for Australia KIA in SVN on my third birthday, doing what he wanted to do. He has a park near the Swanbourne SASR barracks named after him and a street as well. These stolen valour clowns diminish what true warriors like my Father did and paid the ultimate price in defence of our free society and western values, disgraceful...., we get these clowns in Australia too, generally claiming to be SAS as its the Aussie equivalent of SEALS Go Don, you are doing gods work :)
Usually these videos make me laugh, nothing like seeing phonies do flips and tricks to make the lies work. This one though… it actually really bothered me. This guy is a straight up sociopath and I’d be willing to bet the farm that he’s done and said all manner of disgusting things across his lifetime. I consider this video a personal testament to just what a great person Don really is. To hear things like this being said about you and yours while maintaining complete composure is next to impossible. What a fucking man. Thankyou for your service sir, active and otherwise. People like you remind me this country isn’t as doomed as I sometime think it is.
Yes, rape and stuff happened. But it wasn't for survival and I doubt they go around admitting to it. This guy also seems to know some shit makes me think he probably did it in real life. And then decided why not just pretend to be military and it makes it normal to do that. Just because it happens from a few. Doesn't mean the whole is gonna be like yeah man. I know I was raped. But I know most of the guys wouldn't stand for it. Pisses me off. The douche ass mfr needs his ass handed to him by some real vets. Guy was really calm listening to his ass.
I knew a guy that was a cook in the Navy. He was in there for a long time. He worked as a chef after he retired. The guy love cooking and he loved the Navy. Said it gave him opportunities he never would’ve have otherwise. He never told any exciting stories or anything other than usual stuff. That’s why I just don’t understand these guys. Especially guys who have served. Why aren’t they just proud of what they did?
I knew a cook from the ACC British army cooks He was telling everyone he was X SAS. But one thing we all knew about him was He used to push his piles back up his arse with a rolling pin. No one would eat the pie from the canteen ( cookhouse) when it was made public
Was his name Casey Rybeck? 👨🏻🍳 lol .... really I once saw a "SEAL" in the PX of what was Fort Lee Virginia(the name was changed by DoD); 1990s. The guy was in woodland BDUs with a regular cover(BDU Navy cap). He looked like Chuck Norris. Not high speed or covered with ribbons, pins. Just 1 simple SEAL 🔱. The 1 thing that made him look like a SOF guy was his hair, beard seemed longer.
Salute to you Chief Shipley! I appreciate the disarming approach you employ to draw these frauds into exposing themselves. It's honorable work for the truth that you do. So thanks!
Yes, it's like that old saying "give a man enough rope and he'll hang himself". Don is a great investigator - let's them talk and talk and asks if the story can be backed up with hard evidence. Well done!
I did 8 years in the Army as a Turret mechanic. I've never felt the need to lie about what I did. I served proudly.
Did it give you Turret´s syndrome?
But even if you did it would only be an exaggeration...the losers Shipley outs never even served or were discharged almost as soon as enlisting.

No, this guy is a sexuall deviant and probably has rape and molested children cause no one would ever talk about shit like that unless they have done something similar.
@HDJonnyU As a woman, that pissed me off as well. I was young enough while most of Viet Nam was happening, and my parents didn't discuss it, so I don't even know the paper they subscribed to had much info on the SEALs or any of the military. The other story that pisses me off is the story (of troops in Viet Nam) about raping women and children. I was in Junior High when troops were starting to return home, and what I did see on the news was troops getting spit on by people because of what they had read in the papers about the things they did to women and children. I wasn't there, so I can't say if it did or didn't happen, but what those troops got from people when they got home was ridiculous. They didn't realize that our troops were forced to go over there, it wasn't their choice.I don't know what all they did, but when I see a retired serviceman, I make it a point to shake their hand if they are able, and tell them thank you for serving. My son served with the 82nd Airborne, and came home from Afghanistan surviving an IED among other things. That terrifies me, but I'm proud of his service.

In the age of the internet, how are people thinking they can still get away with this? But it is entertaining to watch Don go off.
No shit, I agree with you 100% Well being they're stupid enough to make false claims, I guess they havn't cought on to modern technology!🤔
IKR?
It seems like a sickness. The I want to be awesome without putting in the work type of sickness. Then make a fool out of myself on the internet claiming to be something I’m not. It’s weird for sure. I agree though there are so many and I can’t believe they haven’t heard of Don.
@@petert2481exactly.
I think eventually it will fade out like all the black belt no holds barred champions
One of the most disturbing things about this is that you know he's fantasized about the things he's claiming for his entire life.
Exactly, that alone shows how mentally disturbed he actually is.🤔
Exactly! That’s what makes this one super creepy! Yikes...
Like Don's wife once said, if they can tell such huge lies what else in their life are they lying about?
@@Tully241 Or worse...what are the very darkest things that they don't talk about! This dude is emotionally and mentally twisted.
@@phowell333 agreed
That story sounds like something an inmate would tell other criminals to help survive a tough prison.
When I was a kid in the early 90s we had a family friend that was a "Seal". His wife figured out that due to all his stories they would have VA benefits. She did some research and.... now she has a new husband that isn't a pathological liar.
Same here. It was sad. An older woman from my church married the guy. We were so happy for her. We all thought he was a war hero. One night, he told his story at church. A bunch of us in High School had just watched "The Dear Hunter" and "Platoon". His story was a combination of the two. Turned out he was in the Coast Guard (or something like that)... I mean no disrespect to the Coast Guard (they helped my family on a few occasions), but if they say they were a Seal and POW, that's a problem.
@@joshuabray37 From what i understand, the Coast Guard is actually the most selective branch. Not as selective as SEAL training, but that they reject a fairly highly percent of all applicants.
It's one thing to lie about serving your country but slandering our fellow Veterans who put their lives on the line to protect others is about as despicable as it gets. Thank you Chief, for setting the record straight.
Can you imagine spreading that story about raping dead women. It's just a serious mental disability. These people are just attention seeking maggots, pulling at the heart strings of all good people. They are no better than the modern day internet scammers and all these social media scams. This man is despicable. Absolutely disgrace. His family must be so mortified
Agreed. He took it to a whole other level because he watched some crap Hollywood pumped out
You mean like Trump?
I can’t take these guys seriously when they’ll vote and support a man that will trash fellow veterans as well as the constitution.
You need to read about the My Lai massacre. Americans absolutely raped and killed women and children on a massive scale in Vietnam. They weren't protecting the USA, they were killing innocent locals.
A million innocent Iraqis were killed by America to steal their oil, just in recent years.
You don't really think America is spreading freedom and democracy? Every nation they've been at war with has a stack of oil or natural gas etc like Afghanistan. That was all about the control of pipelines. Google trans-Afghan pipeline.
Gaddafi wanted to start selling oil in gold instead of the petrodollar so the USA overthrew him and put Islamic extremists into power. America actually support Saudi as they support the petrodollar but converting to Christianity is punishable by death in Saudi. It is the most oppressive nation on Earth. ZERO human rights. They keep that power with American backing because America wants to oil. As long as nations use the petrodollar the USA can basically print money.
So millions dead and all these wars for American control of oil. You do know that the CIA overthrew the democratically elected leader in Persia, which led to the Islamic revolution. That's not a conspiracy this is a known fact. So the USA is responsible for that as well as they wanted the oil. It was a peaceful democracy but the US tried to put a dictator in charge and they fought back. Google the 1953 Iranian coup d'état.
So yes, the USA tortures and murders women and children. Over a million innocents killed so far this century. All for oil.
😢that is probably from the movie... casualties of war...with Michael j fox..
Senior Chief Shipley, your patience is far beyond human imagining. Thank you for your prior service and now you're continuing to serve through this channel.
Indeed, Senior Chief Shipley has mellowed before our eyes. To a point that is. And yes, his continued service to our heritage is exceptional.
How can Mr. SHIPLEY STAND TO LISTEN TO THESE CREEPS.
I'm a former Army Quartermaster who served in a unit of 19 Kilos. Like many who served, I am proud of my service and have no need to embellish with fake stories of valor and grandeur. Kudos to you, Mr Shipley, for all you do to honor those who served (Seals and otherwise)!
My dad was KIA in Vietnam in 67. He was a very 'hands-on' DI at Parris Island and he would have slapped the shit out of these fakes. RIP Dad.
I worked with a fake "cia" guy with ridiculous stories. He'd show off military memorabilia that he was given due to his "heroics". We all knew he was full of crap. These guys are insecure and compulsive liars.
Sorry for your loss. What was he like
@@asmith1711 As a DI he was pretty tough on the recruits. He really reminded me of actor and Marine drill Sergeant Lee R Ermey in "Full Metal Jacket". He was that tough. He was Marine through and through. He fought in both the Korean and Vietnam wars. He had 20 years in and could have retired but he choose to re-up and go to Vietnam where he was killed in July 7th 1967. He really choose the Marines over his family. He left behind a wife and two kids. I was his only son, and he had high hopes for me in the Corps.
My father was on the Island around that time, RIP.
Sorry for your loss. My Dad was also a DI at Paris Island during Korean war era. Loved my dads leadership qualities, he spent 40 years at IBM after getting an engineering degree. His father was in the Navy. Yes, it is ashamed people lie about their Military background, no need, everyone was an important piece.
I will never understand the need to lie about service. I was Marine Corps Infantry for 4 years and I honestly couldn't be more proud of what I did, I can't revere those that did more, and I can't thank the support guys enough for my time in service. Be proud of what you've done and if you haven't done anything, just be proud to be an American.
It’s all these cowardly beta males. I did my time same as you for 8 years and saw some rough stuff but you’ll never hear me bragging, embellishing or lying about a damn thing cause just like you I’m damn proud of my service.
Well said Brother. Semper Fi!
I was an Infantryman in the Army. Likewise on the support elements and yeah, these people are freaking losers 💯
Exactly.
I was Canadian Infantry and was and still am proud to be a Grunt.
No need to dress anything up about that.
Cheers. 🇨🇦
Semper Fi brother I was a grunt also 0311, it’s usually POG’S who lie.
I was in the Navy. The reason I've never claimed to be a SEAL is that I wasn't one.
😮
That's as good a reason as any, lol.
Exactly
I believe friends are far more impressed when I tell then the truly horrific ATLANTIC STORMS and HURRICANES that I survived crossing over on the "floating bomb" USS NITRO AE23. We have enough brave "rites of passage" to be proud of.
DUH LOL
I was a lowly fisheries officer for the Cayman Islands government for 9 years from 2005 to 2014. I served with former US and UK military. No one ever felt the need to lie about their service or pad their stats. These people are pathetic and I hope you keep outing them. Good work.

As much as hate it I don't think we can prosecute without the fraud bit too. We can't make lying illegal no matter how much we despise the lie. It's only unpopular speech that needs to be protected. We have to hold the protections of the constitution sacred since we were willing to die for them.

Ran into my first phony special warfare guy as a 19 year old kid working construction. He never wore a shirt, sported at least 6 bullet wounds to the torso and would casually make threats as he bragged about his kills in Vietnam. Made up my mind that next time he threatened me he would have it to do, following his near death experience I learned that his wounds were the result of attempting to run over police who caught him stealing lumber.

Secondhand embarrassment. Perfect description, thank you!
They are looking for the fame and fortune, also the freebies and "worship" that they think that they deserve. I enjoy your videos Mr. Shipley.

They can’t remember because they’re lying through their teeth.
I lived on a ship for 4 years only 20 years ago and I can barely remember a single persons name. It happens but these guys are a different level of nonsense.
It is hard to believe there are such people who would think they have to embellish their accomplishments in their military careers. Most citizens of this country are grateful and proud of those who honorably served, no matter in what capacity or rank.
😄
What’s worse than even the idiots that claim to be SEAL is guys like this that tell lie’s about doing horrible crimes to women and children and act like it’s all good. These guys need to be prosecuted at the very least and put in prison for spreading nasty $hit like that!
There are a lot of compulsive liars out there and liars typically lie about what the know a little something about- if someone was in the Navy, well they were a scuba-diving killing machine.

I was in the navy, I was also a major f*ck up. I live with a lot of regrets and shame from that time of my life, but I would never claim to be something I wasn’t. Especially a Navy Seal. I've always admired and respected seals. Thanks for what you do Mr. Shipley! The truth, sets you free.
I was in the navy too (not the US navy) I was bloody good at my job for most of my time, then my wife and kids left, I kinda broke down and became a fuckup myself and discharged after I realised I couldn’t commit to the job the way I used to anymore. The fact is that not everyone has the guts to enlist, to give it a crack, leave their family, home and friends to try and be apart of something bigger
The service is different to everywhere else, at least you took the leap and by the sounds of it you didn’t flunk out as a recruit. Don’t be too hard on yourself
Marine discharged early on my re-enlistment. That's me I was a fuckup. That was last year. I served, some of it was good, some not so much. We just need to be honest with ourselves, and with others. You'll always be a sailor, nobody can take that away from you. Keep you chin up devil dolphin
It's so infuriating when someone commits stolen valor, this story especially. I will never understand what compels someone to pretend to be a veteran. It really takes away from the people who actually went through hell and back.
These phonies are dirt bags.
You know if you have to lie about being in the military you are classified as a coward. You know I met someone kept telling all these war stories and I knew they were BS. And yes his name was Steve and the color is blood was definitely yellow.
You just know these liars couldn't hack seal training anyway. They'd ring that bell by the 2nd week in a real b.u.d.s course big time!
To be honest, it’s the same reason why somebody picks up your debit card, and uses it until you report it stolen. Understand it a little bit now.? the younger they get, the more mental and goofy their stories are

You’re welcome 😂 🥇🎖️🏅🥉🎖️🎖️🎖️🎖️🏅🏅🎖️🏅🎖️🏅
I was ordered the constipational medal of Oder by President Lincoln.
As a USMC combat Vietnam veteran, I don't mind people claiming to be vets as much as I
hate their crazy war stories. They make us all look bad.
Thanks Don. I'm not American, but love you and your work.
My Grandfather (currently 98 Years old) served in the Navy & was on the USS Hornet when it sunk in the battle of Santa Cruz. Anniversary of that is tomorrow (10/26). My grandpa NEVER talks about it & he rarely wears anything Navy related as well. We all know what he went through and know it’s obviously a touchy subject. The man hates flying but eventually he agreed to fly to San Francisco & go to Alameda to see the rebuilt Hornet. Except when my dad passed (his oldest son) I had never saw my grandfather cry. Not even when his wife of 70+ years passed back in may of this year. That’s when I knew that what this man went through changed him permanently. I appreciate what you do Don. It’s not just the fact that these people get the admiration & benefits that comes with stolen valor, they also get the peace of mind of not having the memories haunt them & change them as people forever. That’s what I think is the real heinous part.
I hope we don’t see you stroke out over these idiots. Love what you’re doing, and it’s important, but don’t let it effect your health, you’re too valuable
How is this important?
@@keithhutchins8803 exposing stolen valor
@@keithhutchins8803 "How is this important?" Are you actually serious with that question?? You really don't understand why the work Don Shipley does in exposing these Stolen Valor perpetrators is extremely important? Only someone who has absolutely zero respect for our military veterans would have no clue as to why this is important.
@@LaStarza61 yep not important at all. It’s actually petty and childish and shows his character
@@ryandickson2224 who cares. Nobody cares
It really stings. The things he claimed he and his friends did to “survive” are the things service members should be preventing from happening. Americans wearing the uniform are ambassadors, and as Senior stated, his lies did nothing but hurt the image of not only the Navy and the US as a whole.
If only you knew what actually happens… there’s a reason that US soldiers are generally not well liked by the citizens of countries they invade.
Amazing. Over the decades, these guys never, ever, ever, were able to back up their claims. Thank you, Senior Chief.
This is why I love Don Shipley. Absolutely incredible. God bless you Don Shipley.
That phony is perhaps the most despicable character you have confronted yet. Hope you do a followup on this guy.
I wished Don would just do ONE on Tampon Tim Walz. He said he was in Bosnia during war time. The medias letting Tampon get by with this fake valor.
So tough even his hairline refuses to accept defeat
His hairline has no challengers thus no need to defend and zero possibility of defeat.
I’ve noticed Shipley sounds scared when he challenges these guys.
@@Outdoorsguy1212Shipley does?LOL not even a little
I love it, I’m finding myself anxiously awaiting the moment when he says “ do you recall what class you were in, there shipmate?” and then queue the reading glasses… gets me EVERY TIME 😂😂😂😂😂
My wife works at the VA hospital and it is funny how often someone sounds off about having been a frog. She mentions your name and more often than not they get real quiet
Yeah, they want to be famous for a moment, but they don't want to be made famous by Don forever! 🤣
I have attended the VA for over a decade & never had any of my fellow veterans claimed to be anything they were not. I attend the VA monthly or more. It can't be that common among veterans especially the older generations. Probably the younger generations are fabricating their service. Considering the majority of them are WOKE now. Also, there's stolen valor rampant in the VA system as well. That's why I think there should be a task force to start investigating & confirming military service. ⚓
I was a VA employee: 085 Security & worked from 1998 to 1999. Around 20mo; temp federal post. I'm also a US Army veteran 🎗 4yr. 1990s. Stolen Valor became more common in 1980s, then grew 📈 after 2001, GWOT. I read a item about 12mo saying the DoD-Army says there are roughly 24 US POW veterans remaining total 📂, but the VA and state military sources provide POW support, benefits to over 124 "veterans". 😡
I served in the Marines, but I never deployed and all I did was work on F18s. Everytime I'm asked if I served my answer is "I was just a mechanic, I didn't deploy or do anything crazy." Simply because it's the truth, as well as I know so many that come back and try to be a hometown hero and tell the most bizarre stories to be the star of the town, sadly people believe it. I have buddies that did deploy and were in the shit, and out of respect for them and so many others I could never claim I did or endured the same when I certainly did not. Thanks to all the veterans out there. As to all the liars out there, the real ones know you're full of shit.
I don't think there's anything wrong with referring to yourself as a veteran or saying you served as long as you don't make shit up
Thank u for your service sir
Thank u for your service sir
@anonymoose2474 I agree! Unfortunately alot overstate what they actually done, that's why I make it clear.
@rustysills5016 I appreciate that, I'm no combat vet though, so I really didn't do anything of importance. But I appreciate that!
You go Senior Chief. I sincerely appreciate what you do. It is awesome, and also a shame at the same time. This from a retired Space Systems Operator USAF, prior Combat Comm... Keep up the good work, and Thanks for Your Service
I appreciate what you do. I was in the Corps for 20 years, not Recon, not Spec.Ops, just and grump continually pissed off Marine and that's always been good enough for me, I have trained with some operators after I was out and would never claim to be one, I'm just not in the same boat. Thanks for your work.
I was Recon. And I never even bring up service to anyone. I had people at work only find out through seeing my ID or license plate and then they say why didn’t I tell them for years. Anyone that talks a lot is usually BSing
My father was on SEAL Team 1 and he toured Vietnam 66-70 or 66-74. They were called frogmen. Under water demolition team. He always mentioned this drill instructor that ran 8 miles until he died in his 90s. One thing I do know Is a Navy Seal is NEVER retired and the only easy day was yesterday...
I hate that these guys act like we are savages. I am a Marine and we were professional warfighters makes my blood boil.
So true. Can't believe this wackos claims
Thank you for your service xoxo
For real. I work for the Marine Corps as a civilian and I can say the Marines are far from war fighters who act like this.
He lied about being a SEAL. Why do you believe his other claims?
@@WillCutting-ms2wy I don't believe a word he said. I have a problem with people spreading bs like this painting us in a negative light. Most civilians honestly don't know much about what we do and will believe that shit
It amazes me that these people are not only flat out liars and disgracing our honored heroes, but are also scumbags of the lowest kind, it's just beyond belief and so sickening!
Keep up the good work, Don! 🧐
It's a tragedy, it really is.
@@justcallmejoeablenot really a tragedy, a tragedy would be child trafficking.
My grandfather was a SeaBee in the Korean War... sure miss him ...he was proud of his service...
In which branch of our did you serve?
My Grandfather , Aussie , did WW1 in France, shot and gassed, did WW2 in north Africa and New Guinea, shot there as well.
my father stowed away on an Aussie troopship going to Korea in 1953 as he was an army cadet at 17 YO and wasn't old enough, was fined 5 ponds and assigned as an officers assistant and when he turned 18 was allowed to fight and did so in the battle of the hook,
he fought in the Malaya emergency mid 50s, joined the SAS company when commissioned in 1957, became SAS platoon commander then transferred to the AATTV to get to SVN first, being keen to fight for Australia
KIA in SVN on my third birthday, doing what he wanted to do.
He has a park near the Swanbourne SASR barracks named after him and a street as well.
These stolen valour clowns diminish what true warriors like my Father did and paid the ultimate price in defence of our free society and western values, disgraceful...., we get these clowns in Australia too, generally claiming to be SAS as its the Aussie equivalent of SEALS
Go Don, you are doing gods work :)
Thank you Don for your continued work here.
Usually these videos make me laugh, nothing like seeing phonies do flips and tricks to make the lies work. This one though… it actually really bothered me. This guy is a straight up sociopath and I’d be willing to bet the farm that he’s done and said all manner of disgusting things across his lifetime. I consider this video a personal testament to just what a great person Don really is. To hear things like this being said about you and yours while maintaining complete composure is next to impossible. What a fucking man. Thankyou for your service sir, active and otherwise. People like you remind me this country isn’t as doomed as I sometime think it is.
Yes, rape and stuff happened. But it wasn't for survival and I doubt they go around admitting to it. This guy also seems to know some shit makes me think he probably did it in real life. And then decided why not just pretend to be military and it makes it normal to do that. Just because it happens from a few. Doesn't mean the whole is gonna be like yeah man. I know I was raped. But I know most of the guys wouldn't stand for it. Pisses me off. The douche ass mfr needs his ass handed to him by some real vets. Guy was really calm listening to his ass.
I knew a guy that was a cook in the Navy. He was in there for a long time. He worked as a chef after he retired. The guy love cooking and he loved the Navy. Said it gave him opportunities he never would’ve have otherwise. He never told any exciting stories or anything other than usual stuff. That’s why I just don’t understand these guys. Especially guys who have served. Why aren’t they just proud of what they did?
Exactly.
Amen brother.
I knew a cook from the ACC British army cooks
He was telling everyone he was X SAS.
But one thing we all knew about him was
He used to push his piles back up his arse with a rolling pin. No one would eat the pie from the canteen ( cookhouse) when it was made public
@@12dougreed wow
Was his name Casey Rybeck? 👨🏻🍳 lol .... really I once saw a "SEAL" in the PX of what was Fort Lee Virginia(the name was changed by DoD); 1990s. The guy was in woodland BDUs with a regular cover(BDU Navy cap). He looked like Chuck Norris. Not high speed or covered with ribbons, pins. Just 1 simple SEAL 🔱. The 1 thing that made him look like a SOF guy was his hair, beard seemed longer.
Boy this guy had Don pissed off 😤. Great job calling his bluff!!!!!
Sure did I noticed that to
I admire your patience with these idiots over the years done... It is a gift I wish I had...
Good to see you Senior Chief! Hope you and Diane are Well! 👍
You are doing a great job, sir! Don't let these idiots get you too wound up. Take care.
wished Don was more passionate about Jesus to be honest. Set our minds on heavenly things and not earthly.
Salute to you Chief Shipley!
I appreciate the disarming approach you employ to draw these frauds into exposing themselves.
It's honorable work for the truth that you do.
So thanks!
Thank you and your family for your service, Don. Keep up the good work that you do.
I feel like the more he allows the guys to talk and dosent immediately call them out, the more they lie and the more elaborate the story becomes.
Yes, it's like that old saying "give a man enough rope and he'll hang himself". Don is a great investigator - let's them talk and talk and asks if the story can be backed up with hard evidence. Well done!
@@thetoymanator7723 well said sir
Gotta keep it entertaining
