Well, Pierce has an ENORMOUS burden of proof now.
And if he pulls the "my records are classified" nonsense, he is even stupider than I thought.
On that, you will just have to trust me.
I AM trusting you guys - you know a lot more than I do about the ins and outs of this stuff. :o)
The only Seal I have personally known was a quiet person whose eyes could melt titanium. He was a man of few words and had an aire of confidence about him that only the wise understood. At one semi-formal event I saw him wearing a very small Silver Star ribbon, you almost had to squint to make it out. Only then did our conversation turn to our time in the service; I didn't know he was a vet.
Once he told me that he greatly respected the British SAS; he "worked" with several of their members once and was quite impressed. Darn, when you impress a Seal, you've done something!
Please start with the original book “Stolen Valor” c. 1998. It’s not dated, believe me, and its author got the 2005 Stolen Valor Act enacted into law.
