I can smile about it now, but at the time, it was insanity. I still can’t believe how it played out. To this day. Just shows, you really have to breathe and just show some patience- a solution usually presents itself if you let itLumper Humper, gentleroger and homeskillet Thank this. -

I would say most all people that are in public or who write books are real seals as their bona fides will be challenged very quickly. I understand your point and actually agree with you. However, this was not what I was trying to say. I'm saying if you are sitting in some truck stop lunch counter and some person also sitting in that counter says they are/were a Seal OR any Special Ops type the likelihood of this being true is almost nonexistent.
I live in Hampton Virginia, actually, I live in the Phoebus section of Hampton. ALL of this area is Military based. There are three 4 star Officers that hold commands in Hampton Roads military bases. The only other area with more that I know of is Hawaii and DC. There are shipyards all over this area. Every day I run into Veterans. Many Seals active and retired live here. There is a lady that lives about 200 feet from my apartment who was married to a Seal. I confirmed this with Don Shipley. I stand by what I stated before. Unless they have decided to go public Seals are a closed-off group that sticks together and you won't see them mouthing off in Bars and Truck Stop lunch counters. By going public I am referring to doing interviews on TV or writing a book. Also sometimes you will see them doing this ---------
