They were in the same bar, and a SEAL had been recently killed in action. For that reason, some SEALs were hosting the greiving, surviving parents of that SEAL.
Ventura was also in the bar at that time. He was speaking out forcefully against the war —that the war didn’t serve US interests really. He went on like that, loudly, for some time. He also launched into stuff like, “It’s OK if some SEALs get zapped from time to time —they deserve it...”
This was all within earshot of the surviving parents, ok?
So this SEAL from that group comes over to Ventura’s table and explains the situation —”Could you tone it down a little, in volume, cuz we have the parents here, and all....”
But Ventura just keeept it up, enjoying the leverage.
And so that guy just belted him one, laying him out flat, and ran out of the bar.
Run out the bar? Why?
If true, what an unbelievable dick. Wow. Those guys should have taken him apart.
One of my friends is a Navy SEAL Captain
he verifies the SEAL version, Ventura got laid out :)
Looks like Jesse is right - there was no fight, it was a bitch-slap-down.....
it seems Jesse was yelling out fighting words and landed on his face...no fight, just face prints in the floor..
