Fake SEAL team 6 Commander outs Don Shipley as real Navy SEAL
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — A highly-decorated fake SEAL Team 6 commander who served in Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War, and top secret "black ops" inside Iran in 2009 has outed Don Shipley as a real Navy SEAL, sources confirmed today.
The commander, James Schmidt, has served in a number of fake SEAL Teams throughout his career, and left the service of stolen valor as a Lance Colonel. He graduated from BUD/S class 6991 in Pensacola, Fla.
"I put in a FOIA request and tracked down all of Shipley's supposed 'claims' about being in the SEAL teams," Schmidt told reporters while holding a military DD-214 document. "You know, all these extravagant stories about being involved in ops all over the world. The records show that's literally zero percent bullshit."
