In this episode of Inside the Team Room, the Green Berets delve into the contentious issue of stolen valor, recounting personal encounters with individuals falsely claiming military credentials.
It is utterly disgusting and disrespectful to our heroes and veterans for someone to walk around and pretend that they earned a medal of valor. Just don’t.
If you are a phony Navy SEAL, standby. The hammer of justice is coming your way and on its head it reads, “Hey bro, Don Shipley here. Retired Navy SEAL.”
The online video platform YouTube decided to suspend the account of a retired Navy SEAL known for exposing numerous cases of stolen valor. Known for his direct manner and incisive humor, retired Senior Chief Petty Officer Don Shipley used his YouTube account, tagged Buds131, as a hammer against military imposters, specifically Navy SEAL imposters. His […]
In a bizarre case, a Charleston man who never served in the military has been arrested after he scammed the VA for nearly $200,000 in medical benefits by claiming he fought in Vietnam and was awarded two Purple Hearts. And this isn’t the first time that he’s been caught doing so according to federal prosecutors […]
Former Army Ranger Paul Lozier was accused by an online blog last week of lying about him being a Ranger. The accusation was spurred during a political argument on Facebook, when the owner of the blog that seeks out those who claim stolen valor posted about Lozier, publicly calling him a fraud.

Nobody voted for Ivanka Trump: Donald Trump’s daughter persuaded him to strike targets in Syria, according to reports of a diplomatic memo. A cable briefing to Theresa May and Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson by Britain’s ambassador to Washington Sir Kim Darroch said Ms Trump was influential in bringing about the bombings, those who saw the memo said.

The academy should be embarrassed: Former senator Jim Webb declined Tuesday to accept an award as a distinguished graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, citing pressure from a “small but vociferous group” of female alumni who are angry about past statements he made that women aren’t suited for combat and shouldn’t attend the academy. Webb, […]
Phil Campion, former British SAS, discusses the controversy surrounding Azi Ahmed’s claim that she was in the SAS. After looking into it, Phil said she completed a special course made specifically for women but the standards were significantly lower. Phil also interviews Toby, the producer of “Big Phil’s War.” Watch the video below.
Author’s note: I know the title of this series is “Big Phil’s War,” but this is a little bit of a diversion to explain how I got into the filmmaking business in the first place. It’s all about hunting in the good old US of A, so I’m sure there’s plenty here to keep you reading! Editor’s […]
