Anybody work with this stud? A 19-year "black ops" veteran, retired at 37 as a Lt. Colonel.
He's got a $23.95 book about his experiences. Haven't read it yet.

This guy's led an interesting life... Appears to have a seriousfollowing of gamers and airsofters......
Born in 1950 into a Military family and handed over to a USMC program at the age of twelve, Wolfgang Hammersmith was raised in the world of the US Marine Corps. He graduated from the program at the age of eighteen, serving as a combat team commander (CTC) in the Vietnam War and in counterterrorism and anti-human trafficking operations. As part of Combined Services, prior to RDF (Rapid Deployment Force) and Delta Force, he continued an illustrious combat career during which he led combat teams in eighty-six missions, across 41 countries. Always proud to serve our great Nation, he quickly realized after being the last man on the team up a particular hill, on a particular day, that after 19 years of service, countless injuries, and numerous gunfights, that at the ripe age of 37, he was done. Having never known civilian life, the transition was not an easy one.

This either needs to go to the 'Hall' or to Comedy Central.
After reading his blog, Looking at his three(3) FB pages..
I'm calling 100% bullshit.
His bio talks to being in the Marines at age 12 yrs,, Hopefully they will tend to his disposal??
OK,, I sent Wolfgang-bang a little note..
Wolfgang, I read on you web page you were born in 1950, and you completed 19 years of "black ops" service by your 34th birthday (1984). I am a little confused were you in the Marines or Army?? You display the E,G,&A but talk about Delta?? As an aside, you may want to read this thread about another black ops instructor in the NW. His name is William G Hillar. If you need more info, use your google foo..
RDF?
Hell, just about all the FOGs here were on RDF 1 many a time.

Women in the US Military: New Status?
*
Contrary to general public knowledge, women have served as active war-fighters in combat in the US Military since the formation of the United States.
In many cases, their heroic participation was kept from the history books but recently there was an announcement by the US Military that women will now be considered as standard US combat personnel. This is odd as something old is being called “new.”
For nineteen years since 1968 I had top professional soldiers who were also women on my combat Teams where they performed equally with the men, and my teams recorded approximately the same number of outstanding performances in active combat for both sexes.
I fought beside women in combat who, because of their outstanding bravery and in some cases, sacrifice, deserved the Congressional Medal of Honor but were not awarded it. Israel has had women warfighters in their military forever where they serve with honor, and so have many other nations.
Women served with distinction in US active combat units operating in Europe against the Nazi forces there, but received little or no recognition. Wouldn’t it be nice if this announcement of a “new” status for women war-fighters also honored the women who have served with heroic dedication who were overlooked in the past?
While I’m sure that won’t happen because the PTB (Powers That Be) won’t admit to that grand mistake, it’s well past time that women who serve in the US Military are recognized as high-quality professional soldiers, openly decorated for their bravery and efficiency in combat, and thanked for their service and sacrifice equally with men.
Women play FPS games with valor and success, echoing their soldier counterparts, and they fight just as well as the professional women soldiers I describe in my book, BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY: GUNFIGHT! Women are also more efficient in planning strategy under fire than men, in many cases.
In fact, I believe it is important that female Gamers continue to perform with distinction in Game World, thereby leading the path to recognition for woman soldiers serving in Real World combat today!

BTW, I did recon and DA black ops from about 3rd grade to 6th grade. I was wearing some old OD's, a football helmet painted in the finest Testors OD spray paint money could buy, and carrying a rubber-band assault rifle, too. We used dirt-clod frag grenades for indirect fire. None of that hardened combat experience ever appeared on my DD-214. ;)

I Locked In on "counterterrorism and anti-human trafficking operations"!!! Seems we just came down that road!!
Selected Tactical Principles, Chapter One
1. Completion is vital. Don’t rush or try to do more than
one thing at a time. Especially when under pressure, do
one thing at a time and finish it before moving on to the
next thing. A state of panic is the opposite of this
principle.
2. Movement. When coming under fire, move! If they have
opened fire, your opponent(s) already have confidence
they can shoot you right where you are. If they missed
and you don’t move, they probably will correct their aim
and not miss again. Move out of your opponent(s) kill
zone fast.
3. Front Sight! Always concentrate on sight alignment and
get a clear sight picture, especially when under time
pressure. In this regard, Col. Cooper interviewed people
who had died in a gunfight. Impossible? No, he
interviewed people who had been brought back to life by
paramedics, or bystanders with some medical knowledge.
In every one of these cases where the loser of the gunfight
remembered what happened, he or she never saw their
front sight.
I really don't know where to begin, sigh!

The Call of Duty: Gunfight!
It was once called ‘The President’s Army,’ disbanded when President Reagan took Office, because no President should have that much power. One survivor from a group of 100 secret warriors, Wolfgang Hammersmith shares the stories from 86 missions across 41 countries and many life and death Gunfights!
Leading Teams into battle at the age of 18 until he retired at 37, his Teams were comprised of highly-trained men and women from all branches of military service. Their job was to kill and destroy in the name of the United States.
These never before revealed stories will draw you in as if you were part of the Team, under fire in forests, deserts, parking lots, on freeways and even the in the frozen Arctic.
Follow Hammersmith and his Teammates chasing traitors, recovering stolen intelligence, hunting illegal arms dealers, and destroying enemy weapon stockpiles throughout the world.
These Teams always knew they were going to a Gunfight! This book isolates the action of each battle and includes the tactics and training scenarios used for their survival.

I thought his website was funny, but some of your responses of disbelief made me spew beer, thanks for that.
Here's another good snippet from http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/31439/Interview_Black_Ops_Veteran_Talks_Video_Games_And_ The_Real_World.php
To storied career soldier Wolfgang Hammersmith, gunfight tactics and pistolcraft are an art. The USMC Lt. Colonel, Vietnam War and Black Ops veteran was born into a military family in a time when it was wholly appropriate to take your 8 year old out into the desert and shoot at him so that he'd learn not to fear it -- this was in fact part of his childhood.
As a 12 year old in the Bull Pups program, part of the "desensitization training" involved group field trips to the morgue, scalpels in hand, to better understand corpses and vital organs. Hammersmith tells me that that particular program was eventually discontinued due to outcry from parents.
The usual nosy information terrorist I am, I looked him up in my evil databases.
He's had many aliases over the years. Real name is Steven, looks like he legally changed to his new bad ass name in 1992-1993. Have his current home address and phone #s.
He's up in the SEATAC area. He also runs a company called Vadium Tech (vadiumtech.com) that sells snake oil encryption products. Corporate world HQ address is, of course, a PMB in one of the crappiest strip malls I've seen.
Somehow he's been suckering GameStop stores into letting his set up a table at the "Black Ops" video game events so people can buy his book and talk with a real Delta RDF Marine Black Ops LTC.
I'd be happy to pass what info I have along to any crufty USMC peeps (or Feds, if they still deal with these tools).
http://www.bullshido.net/forums/showthread.php?t=101818
Wolfgang Hammersmith is also the founder of an encryption technology firm (Vadium Technology) that has claimed an "unbreakable" One Time Pad encryption product since 2004, something that industry encryption experts have been skeptical of. (OTPs are a perfect theoretical encryption process, akin to perpetual motion or cold fusion claims...often bullshit).
I encountered this man with the unforgettable name a few years ago while reading my favorite cryptography blog: http://www.schneier.com/blog/archive...ouse_va_1.html. If you scroll down you will see a good number of posts made by Mr. Hammersmith himself.
He then got into a 6-year-long comments battle on Bruce Schneier's site (Bruce is a world-renowned crypto guru) talking about how Bruce doesn't know what he's talking about, and Vadium Technology is the best thing for computer security, ever. Oh, and it's unbreakable by the way.
He even appeared to post some sockpuppet entries in support of himself, got caught doing it, and claimed it was a friend sitting at his computer.
I did some background research on this. None of this will positively prove Hammersmith wrong, it does provide some context. I just don't think it adds up.
The standard history of 1st SFOD-D is that Col. Beckwith saw a capability gap in the SOF community and felt the Army needed an American SAS -- more mature than young Rangers, more focused on Direct Action than SF, able to bridge the gap between CIA paramilitary action and traditional military roles. he met a great deal of obstruction from the military establishment. It wasn't until the rise of terrorism in the 1970's that the benefits of such a unit in the counter-terror role were recognized.
During the time period Hammersmith is describing, there also was MACV-SOG operating in Southeast Asia -- specifically formed to provide a black ops capability. And there was also the Son Tay Raid, which was executed by an Ad Hoc unit drawn from SF. SOG was officially disbanded in 1972, although there was a follow-on unit active until about 1975. Delta was stood up in 1977, although it wasn't operational until 1979. During the stand-up period, 5th SFG had a DA/CT unit known as "Blue Light."
So where in this mix is there room for a Combined Services? Why create Delta if Combined Services already exists? Why form ad hoc SOF formations for specific tasks if Combined Services already exists? Why disband Combined Services as a supertrooper secret squirrel unit and replace it with Delta (and later the whole Joint Special Operations Command structure)?
Hammersmith claims his unit predated Delta Force, and generously there's a 5 - 7 year period (1972 - 1979) when such a unit might've existed. He seems to imply he was active in this black ops outfit during the majority of his career. It was supposedly referred to as "The President's Army." I've scoured my extensive collection of SOF military history books and can't find any timely reference to either "Combined Services" or "The President's Army." (I know, it was way too secret to appear in a history book.)
Hammersmith also claims the unit was disbanded under Reagan because "no president should wield such power!" This is during the whole SOF build-up that gave birth to the modern Special Operations Command (SOCOM, a unified command) organizational structure. Somehow another secret squirrel unit, the Intelligence Support Activity (ISA), managed to survive this reorganization, and find brief references in the better history books.
I can't say it's impossible, but I don't buy it.
By way of comparison, I would like to point to
Richard "Dick" Meadows
Richard_Meadows Richard_Meadows
, who actually lived the life Hammersmith is claiming during the same time period.

He seems to think that "One Time Pads" are a specific encryption scheme, but they're a type of encryption. I couldn't find a whitepaper on his AlphaCipher crypto scheme, which in the cryptography world, generally leads to snake oil.
Bruce Scheier (author of Applied Cryptography, one of the bibles in the crypto world) declared it dubious, so it's a safe bet it's... dubious. AlphaCipher is probably just a hacked-up software application that uses high-level AES APIs.
From Bullshido:
We used to have a kids group of some kind show up yearly at the Infantry Training School on Camp Pendleton.
Can't remember the name of the group, but seeing the kiddies in cammos and officer's insignia was kind of a joke.
I was actually in this group in jr high and high school for several years in the 80s. It was called "First City Rifles" (http://www.fcrc.org/), and it's still around in a very different form. It was shady. It was run as a "Military Explorer"-affiliated group (I'm not sure what that means). It attracted the Rambo/military wannabe kids.
The leaders were AD Army, discharged/retired Army, and Army NG personnel. One fellow (name was "Coloumb" or thereabouts) was or claimed to be SF, he knew a lot about weapons and comms, he had a lot of legitimate field experience, but I don't know to what level of Army training.
But somehow, they got us on Pendleton every year and we got to shoot M16s, M60s (caused a brush fire a few times), throw grenades and go on long ruck marches across Pendleton with packs and unloaded M1 Garands and get "ambushed" by our leaders or actual Army infantry units on the base to train, or we'd get taught how to ambush them. We went to some shoot house on base and they taught us how to enter a building, how to "pie" corners, etc.
The training seemed pretty ad-hoc and disorganized. I learned how to land nav there, not because they actually taught us, but because they dropped us off in bumfuck egypt somewhere on Pendleton with a map and compass and eventually we figured it out. They taught us how to sabotage infrastructure (I remember them using the CIA Freedom Fighter's handbook and the Army Incendiary Guide for these particular lessons). We mostly used the sabotage crap to cause trouble at school (soaking sponges in starch, squeezing them, wrapping string around them, letting them dry in the sun, remove string, throw in toilet, flush fast).
The boys, we all wore BDUs, but didn't have ranks at the time. I learned a lot of stuff but half the time it felt like it was hazing for their entertainment.
After I left and went into the military, it supposedly got a lot less shady. And I'm left boggled on how we were able to get onto a military base and do all of that. We met at an Army NG Armory in California. The group leaders had access to the weapons in the armory. This all sounds like BS but is 100% completely true. If anyone has any clue as to how they could do this, fill me in.

Technically speaking, true one-time pad encryption (properly used) is unbreakable.
So where does he get true random numbers for his DOTPs?
How does he get matching sets securely to sender and receiver?
OTPs aren't technical marvels.
They also aren't very useful for most people's purposes.:rolleyes:

Right, OTPs aren't marvels in the least. And there's no AlphaCipher whitepaper that I'm aware of, so it hasn't been peer-reviewed. This would be even more important in light of recent reports of weaknesses in AES-256 and now 128.
I didn't see anything mentioned on how he handles key distribution, which also must be secured with most (all?) OTP schemes. This would be an important thing to explain for a legitimate encryption product, as the key is the key to the kingdom.

2. What was your toughest mission?
Working against human traffickers and drug distributors, I was blown out of a building. It happened when a guy I was chasing threw a satchel charge into the room I was entering, and it went off as I was attempting to jump out of a broken window, throwing me thirty feet out on to the front lawn, breaking L5 and S1. My legs didn’t work for two weeks, and then they slowly recovered, but I also had to recover from secondary effects where one’s immune system attacks the organs that are healing. That part took six months! I was kind of walking after two weeks, and then it was back to work again – no back repairs until years later when I had a five-and-a-half hour back operation to remove the broken bones and complete repairs

The Real Life Call of Duty Q&A
Could your stories be turned into game sequences?
Yes, many could. In fact, I have many more unique and fascinating experiences that have never been seen in Game World. Ideally, the Gamer would be able to select his or her strategies or develop their own.
Perhaps the most interesting and important element of my stories is that the readers get to ‘meet’ some of the people I worked with who are now dead.
Most of my former Teammates lost their lives in service to this great nation.
What's inaccurate about the Call of Duty:Black Ops Cover Graphic?
Both of the Model 1911 pistols held by the operative on the cover and posters cannot not function as depicted! Let’s take it from the top:
The 1911 Model pistol on viewer-right is painted with the thumb safety up and the hammer down, something that can’t physically be done with this style pistol. The thumb safety can only be engaged (pushed up) when the hammer is cocked. The only reason for a hammer to be cocked is when a round is in the chamber. Thus the phrase, “Cocked and locked,” was developed.
Both of the operator’s fingers are on the triggers of both pistols in violation of Firearms Safety Rule #2. Does anyone think pros don’t follow Firearms Safety Rules? Let’s put it this way: I never wanted to explain to what’s left of my Team why I allowed some idiot to put his finger on the trigger before his sights were on a target.
The pistol on viewer-left has the hammer down with the operative’s finger on the trigger. If he pulls the trigger with all his might with the pistol in this condition, it will not fire which is a good thing. If the pistols did fire he would shoot his own feet, which is why the second firearms safety rule is important.
Technically, the pistol on viewer’s left is in one of two states:
1.A condition where a round is in the chamber and the hammer has been lowered (not a safe practice because it can’t be fired without first cocking the hammer and the hammer can fire the round if something snags the hammer, partially cocking and releasing it before the sear engages the hammer’s safety notch), or
2.There is no round in the chamber and the trigger was pulled to let the hammer fall on an empty chamber. With both pistols as depicted, they cannot be fired by pulling either trigger. One person asked me if the pistol on viewer left could have just been fired until empty. When a 1911-Style pistol in proper operating condition with a magazine inserted (the base of the magazine can be seen in the painting) is fired until empty, the slide stays in the reward position, ready to load a fresh magazine. So the answer is no, it wasn’t fired dry – which is a very bad practice in reality.
Finally, the operators I’ve worked with think the kill tally scratched on the slide of the pistol on viewer’s right is ridiculous. No pro I worked with would do this because (1) it scratches one’s fighting instrument, disrespecting it, and (2), simply put, even with smaller spacing between the marks, there isn’t enough room on the whole gun!
This artwork is a massively-promoted mistake by a company that prides itself on presenting Game World in the most realistic way possible. These are brilliant people, so this must be somewhat embarrassing for them for a few minutes, or at least until they got to the bank.
What could you tell Gamers about real combat, that would surprise them?
There are several places in the world where we can go right now to experience real combat in just a few hours. Most people in the US are not aware that life-and-death combat is that close by.
We all realize that there are many differences between Game World and Real World combat, but perhaps the most surprising and seldom mentioned is the effect of raw uncertainty that’s always present in real combat.
Standing in the midst of combat in Game World we all absolutely know, so well that we don’t’ think about it, that we’re going to stop playing the game and get a sandwich, go skateboarding, or do the next thing.
This knowledge is part of our stability. We draw comfort from it. Most of us take our home for granted in such a foundational way that we rely upon the permanence of it without realizing it. We get quite upset when our homes are threatened or destroyed.
Normally, we pay little attention to what surrounds most of us at home. It doesn’t cross our minds as we play at combat.
But in Real World combat zones the reverse is true. You are away from home or maybe fighting for your home. You can no longer count on anything around you to be permanent, not people, not places, not things, and you don’t know if you’re going to be lying on the ground screaming as you die, have a hand blown off, or be instantly dead – and this is the kicker – from one second to the next!
Living with this constant uncertainty, not being able to take a break from it, is the underlying stressor that causes people to fall apart in active combat zones more often than actual fighting does.
But even being in the action, fighting in a combat zone, ending other people’s lives, makes that nagging uncertainty worse because doing it to others increases the realization that others can do it to you.
And this is the unsettling thing one sees in the eyes of many veterans who were in combat in all wars. They look at you but you can’t keep their attention; you clearly see them but their perception is that nothing around them, not even you, is permanent. They rediscover you after just a few seconds, over and over again.
Be kind to these injured people, these brave veterans, when you come across them. They mean no disrespect. Thank them, for they have given far more than their physical wounds. They have sacrificed their peace of mind for your way of life.

I remember there being a parallel group like ours that was "USMC style". "Bull Pups" seems hazily familiar. It was more military boy scouts-style than screwup-fixup style.
We poked fun at them because they didn't get to do the Rambo stuff, instead focusing on "boring" stuff like character and discipline, two important things our group "forgot" to teach. In hindsight, we got the short end of the stick.
But just because the group may have existed doesn't mean he was ever affiliated with it.

A quick tip that helps in some cases:
If you're reconing a location in Google Street View and the location you're interesting in is obscured, you can try a few different things:
1. Move up or down the street in street view and adjust the camera angle accordingly. This works great for examples like this, with moving objects like this truck.
2. Use the geolocation features of vast picture collection sites like Flickr, Picasa, and Twitpic. Between these sites, there's a vast amount of location data available. Most smartphones geotag their photos with lat/long by default and users don't even realize it (maybe privacy IS dead ;).
TinEye.com is also very helpful in some cases. It's a "reverse image search engine". It allows you to upload an image and get back similar (but not necessarily the same) images.
As an aside, I've begun sketching out some ideas in regards to a photo terrain search engine. The idea is to take a photo that contains a mountain/hill/etc, convert the visible bits to a scaled 2D plot and then either query Google's GIS data (unlikely currently, due to the # of lookups we're talking about) or query through a GIS data set downloaded locally. Today's powerful GPUs (video card chips) should make this pretty feasible even on a single modestly-powered consumer PC.
We'll see if I ever actually get anywhere with that. If you have any thoughts or ideas, shoot me a PM. I've derailed this topic enough.

Odds are, wolfgang can break your PGP with his super-secret quantum computer running Shor's algorithm.
He could tell you about it, but then he would have to...well, you know.:D

I got the intel from another here at PS.com that was sent to me in a PM last night.
I'd like to throw him another "satchel charge" and toss him for Height and Distance.
This drill represents the worst scenario in real life gunfights. Three opponents in a line can visit fire upon you at once, what you see below is Wolfgang in one smooth motion firing one shot in each of the opponents, and two in the third, before moving back to finish them off.
Linked video demonstrates, and then underneath audio explains rationale.

I'll definitely take this training to heart the next time I'm attacked by 3 stationary, identical adult triplets lined up in a row. Hopefully, I'll never run into quadruplets.

Yes, though I wondered if the real BTDT types would christen this the " Ball Less Dummy" drill.
Seriously though, I question if guys like this and that "A$$-Junk Professor" from Monterey are further evidence of the growing disconnect Kaplan mentioned between the average citizen in our society and those who defend it. Con men who fleece folks are as old as the hills, and to a certain extent caveat emptor. Specifically though when America went to an all volunteer force, one of the negatives was a declining societal familiarity with the military from conscription. 37 years later, we have a CIC who didn't know the sanctity of the CMOH, kids who desecrate military tombs, and slime who can profit and get away claiming to have joined the Marines at age 12.
IMHO it is is not societal decay ( although Roman historians may disagree) so much as a vast disconnect. By this I mean, even in liberal California you still see instances of respect and appreciation for our troops. For example a friend and his wife in Sacramento were at a nice restaurant earlier this year, when they noticed a young Marine in dress blues and his date in a prom dress, he tried to pick up their check too, but the waiter told him thank you but three other tables already did. Yet at the same time there are con men out there who take advantage of this dynamic.

My $.02 it's a win win either way, if the young man is a Marine, it's a nice gesture, if he isn't he will likely be emboldened and continue this activity until he inevitably comes across some real Marines, no such thing in life as a free lunch...

Hey wolfgang, what is the "Combined Services" ???? Or were you also part of that "classified" unit called "Cherokee" with scott witt?
SW – Everything I did in special forces was ‘black ops’. I first joined the Rangers back in 1987 and I was only with the Rangers for a year when I decided to join what was called ‘the Cherokee’ at that time. They were a mixture of special forces. It was not just Rangers, it was Navy SEALs, it was Marines, it was everyone. And they’d take the best of the best…and create one unit. And that unit answered only to the Pentagon. And from that point forward, all we did was black ops. Nothing we ever did could be talked about from that point forward.

I appreciate your concern. During all wars there are individuals who claim to be veterans but are not. To expose these individuals, you rely upon record searches of databases that you have access to. If you find nothing, you declare that individual a fraud. Your process for vetting probably works most of the time.
But there is a major fault. You must blindly assume that the databases you access contain all the records in existence for service personnel. They do not. There’s an elephant in the room, gentlemen, but you don’t know how to find the room.
Look at it this way: You have a clubhouse with 4x5 cards in a shoebox and you’re looking for me in that shoebox. Early on, however, I was transferred to a different clubhouse with 4x5 cards that are kept in a steel vault. You’re digging in the wrong place. You can only legitimately verify what you have access to. You can’t verify what you have no access to.
Want to know more? Read through what is known as the Wiki Trail and be assured that many of the individuals in these operations have military titles and are not to be found in the databases you can access.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_Activities_Division
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_of_Policy_Coordination
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directorate_of_Plans
Also, there is a major problem with your logic. How do you win an argument with no information? From a purely logical standpoint, if I am legitimate you will find no records. If you are correct, you will find no records either. To solely base your vetting process on faulty logic is unsound. All that is reasonable to conclude from your vetting process is that I’m not in the records you have access to.
It is irresponsible and self-serving to claim that an individual is a fraud simply because you can’t find the records. It throws exceptions like myself under the bus and that is unjust. Fortunately, it’s a very small bus and most of us never come out to be exposed to this traffic.
Despite the fact that I do not exist in your databases, I know my subject matter. I write my stories with two purposes: First and foremost, to honor my Teammates and then to entertain my readers. So if you find my stories amusing then I have succeeded.
And, there’s no reason to threaten to send Marines to our house and my co-author’s business. We already have them there.
Absence of evidence is not proof and arrogance is a common excuse for not knowing something important. May you discover that you don’t know something important everyday, and find with that knowledge, humility.

Amigo,
Many of us here, most actually, have conducted classified ops...from RVN thru today. We know exactly what kind of paper trail exists from DA or DoD. How convinient that you have no DD214....every service member, including Dick Meadows and some of your other smoke screen links have one...and they can be accessed thru FOIA for general info. So please provide yours.
I've also fwded your info to a very senior Marine webring, one that includes the Commandant of the Marine Corps as an active member.
If he reads your super secret file and tells us/me to cease fire we shall.
You are chatting with real guys that did real SF service, not your gamer kids so act accordingly and tell the truth.

wolfgang, there's over one thousand plus years of Special Forces experience on this board, do you actually think you're going to bullshit us?
Keep defending your position wolfgang, you dig deeper with each shovelful.
Black ops Fraud checklist:
1. My military records are classified, check.
2. The only individuals that knew me in black ops are dead, check.
3. I served with a unit that no one's ever heard of and is classified to this day, check.
4. I've been on "classified" missions all over the world, killed a few hundred enemy, and no one has ever heard a word,
not a single news article. check.
5. All my missions are "classified" but I wrote a book about them, check.
6. The key to my fictitious stories is Wikipedia, LOL, check.
7. I am a legend in my own mind, check.
You are amusing us, please don't stop posting! I bet you've never even heard of the "Covert Action Ladder"? (or have you?)

First of all, you are quoting wikipedia which any scholar will tell you is an unacceptable source as it can be edited by anyone.
Second, Department of Defense Instruction (DODI) 1336.1 (Certificate of Release or Discharge from Active Duty) dated August of 2009 shows, on the first page, the applicability and it lists EVERYONE in DOD. Doesn't say " everyone except Hammersmith". These 214s, as cited in DoD Directive 5400.07, “DoD Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Program,” January 2, 2008 are available to the public minus personal information such as SSN. Read them yourself:
http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/corres/pdf/133601p.pdf
Third, you are arguing your case with out reason or logic. You state: From a purely logical standpoint, if I am legitimate you will find no records. An argument is a claim about a topic that is supported by reason and evidence. Yours requires neither.
Which leads me to my fourth, and probably the most significant and disturbing point, is that you are attempting to argue your case with real Special Forces and Special Operations Forces Operators whose expereince span generations. Though not a psychatrist, you exhibit extreme multithematic delusion (aka schizophrenia) and thus this will be the only post I make to you:
As proverbs 23:9 says: Do not speak to a fool, for he will scorn the wisdom of your words
Piss off douchebag, May your life be as short as your lies are long.:mad:
Check this out LMAO...from one of his game boy buddies...
'"But Hammersmith says that in fact modern military corps are beginning to see a double-edged impact from a legion of video-gaming recruits: "What happens in studies with soldiers is that when they play video games, they were over-daring, because they were used to having 'more lives'," says Hammersmith."

Wolfie:
Your outlandish claims are a disgrace to America's finest.
You would be funny if you were not so pathetic. You are delusional with your own lies and prevarications.
There are vets here who were in Blue Light, Delta, and non-DoD agencies doing actual CT during the period you claim to have been there, and have never heard of you or your alleged secret organization. The community is not that large.
Stating that your service is too classified to be discussed is a common poser claim. Funny, I have been brought into quite a few programs myself, while they may not be on my DD214, the basic facts of my service are still there.
Your use of Dick Meadows as an example is a sacrilege. Major Meadows was well-known in both conventional and unconventional units. I was privileged to have met him on a few occasions. You, Sir, are no Dick Meadows. You have more in common with Bill Hillar.
I hope that you are charged, tried, and convicted under the Stolen Valor Act, and that your sentence includes several years of community service in a VA medical center, changing the bedpans of real American heroes.
If there is any justice, you are due a load of bad karma when your day of reckoning arrives for trying to take honor from actual vets like stealing the pennies from a dead man's eyes.
Is there no depth to which you will not stoop? I look forward to helping track down whatever records of your service, if any exist, and letting people know the truth.
In the interim, do you have a DD214 you could provide?

Hammersmith,
You claim to be a Marine LTC. But you didn't start there at the age of 18, no special ops take a kid without military experince straight into their organization. So, you should have some military records prior to joining them, ie Basic/OCS/etc. So were are they???? Where is your pay stubs/LES/retirement????? DD Form 2 (retired)???? You haven't shown one document of proof that you are who you claim to be.

ETA: You posted you were hurt during your service, lets see some VA records. Are you collecting disability?

I have submitted an FOIA to the agency that I know has my records. The pickings are slim but I am making every reasonable attempt to put together enough information that will substantiate my background.
I have been advised that I will not be successful but in the face of this, I will do what I can and will share the results here and on my website.
The powers at be will either release enough information or they will not. I have no control over that and I am prepared for either direction it may take.

It seems you're trying to sit in the middle and play both sides - and you can't have it both ways. Either it's "so super secret that secret people like you don't know my secrets" or, as you state on your own website, it's not:

4. How is it you can write about your background?
More than twenty five years have passed since the cases in my book were active. The cases have been declassified, and there is no identifying information in the stories.
After reading this guys posted bio, his responses to us and other disbelievers I'm convinced he is a mental case.
I suspect he believes his own BS by this time in 'his world'....sad really. I'd not give a whit except that he claims Military status that beeds over on the Spec.Ops community.
I mean how many of you other double nought spies every took up with Kid gamers in your retirement?

It takes about five minutes for a "veteran" to request a copy of his/her records. No FOIA is required. You could also just show your "retired" ID card to the VA and they will also assist you. How much retirement pay does a LTC make right now? I bet you and your wife sure enjoy that income and the medical benefits of a retired LTC.
Funny, we recently busted a guy (bill hillar) for stating he was a SF COL, he didn't have a retired ID card. His wife figured it out that he was not in fact a COL as he said he was after she realized he was receiving NO Veterans benefits, no retirement pay, no medical benefits, no ID card. Yep some of the women out there are smart like that.
I'll bet you and your wife go on the military base shopping and you show your ID all the time don't you? You know what why don't you post a picture of your military ID with the LTC on it?
We've submitted a FOIA on you and it will take a few weeks to receive.

Funny, all my stuff was in the Stuttgart Warehouse fire recently, and I at least have some horrible copies from my OMPF....... no need for the request for a DD-214 or FOIA on myself, since my ID card still reads Active Duty.
Oh, I also have pics of what my "brag wall" used to look like as well..
I also have a letter from the Chain of Command stating that my personal belongings to include my military records (awards, original school certs, etc) were destroyed in a fire. You do have one of these letters?????

If you tell us I'm sure we can get someone to move that request along much quicker. There's Special Forces personnel in every three letter "agency" in the United States.
Very soon you and your delusional "story" will be moved to our "Hall of Shame", that's where we place Special Forces frauds, in your case I'll make an exception.
We don't take kindly to individuals that scam people for money or fame. You seem to be doing it for both reasons.

By the way, the only bona fides needed here are, "I know that guy, he and I served on ODA-XXX, .... good man, ...smart."

As the law firm I engaged continues to work on this issue, I have received permission from Greg Lone to post the following on his behalf:
-Wolfgang Hammersmith
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To Whom It May Concern (primarily the doubters and naysayers):
My name is Greg Lone, no I’m not a black ops guy nor did I serve in Vietnam (I was in preschool at the time). I did serve in the 2nd commando brigade of the 10th Mountain Division and have the DD214 to substantiate that. The purpose of this correspondence is to inform whatever parties and/or individuals who may be interested about my knowledge of Wolfgang Hammersmith.
Wolfgang Hammersmith has been a friend and business associate of mine for sometime. His understanding of tactics and military protocol are of a level that would be difficult if not impossible for someone to fake. I have heard him tell stories of dozens of different missions so many times that I have lost count. Not once did I ever catch a single variation in his recollection of the aforementioned missions. Additionally, I know for a fact that he and another very close friend of mine, whom I trust implicitly, had meetings in Washington, DC with a former National Security Advisor and a former Chief of Staff at NSA’s Communications and Computer facility. I think it’s safe to assume that a former National Security Advisor and a NSA COS would know if Hammersmith was for real or not.
I also know that the original manuscript for Hammersmith’s first book, the publication in question, was required to be submitted to certain agencies within the federal government for approval prior to publishing. These agencies required several changes in the original manuscript as they referred to some mission elements that were still deemed classified.
While I have the utmost respect for everyone that has ever served this country from Seals and SF to noncombat support personnel, what I have been reading on various blogs and websites goes against what I thought we all served for. You have found Hammersmith guilty in the court of the internet without any proof one way or the other. I understand that there is an almost inexhaustible supply of phonies, frauds and fakes out there and I commend those of you that dedicate your time and resources to exposing these despicable individuals. I also believe that we owe everyone, including Hammersmith, the right to be assumed innocent until proven guilty. He has engaged an expert attorney firm in DC at his own quite considerable expense to research and clear his status in a way that can be released on the Net without compromising his agreements with the US Gov, and we’ll all have that information when it comes available.
Hammersmith is putting updates on his web page. We can all look there and see what develops before we make judgments.

For those following this thread and would not know what we're talking about here, anybody who had ever actually served in the 2nd Brigade Combat Team {nicknamed "Commandos"} of the 10th Mtn Div would ever make the mistake of referring to it as "the 2nd commando brigade" as that (1) has an entirely different connotation and (2) is not used by the US Army.

Greetings Mr. Gregory Dean Lone, Junior.
Since you were born in April 1967 I understand why you would state that you were in preschool during the Viet Nam War.
I want you to know that we do appreciate your prior service with the 10th Mountain Division, particularly the 2nd Brigade Combat Team (Nicnamed: "Commandos") during your service at Ft. Benning in 1986 with the 14th Infantry and subsequent move with the rest of the 2nd Brigade to Ft. Drum, New York in 1988.
However, your professional credibility is materially adversely affected by claims of support from unknown and unnamed "Chiefs of Staff" or any other alleged "National Security Advisor." To be frank, they should be named, and
their bona fides established.
[Of course, your personal credibility is brought into question by your Chapter 7 bankruptcy you filed in 2007 in Tacoma, WA; apparently in response to the five civil judgments rendered against you in Tacoma, WA; and your state tax lien filed against you in Colorado in 1991.

Benning in 1986 with the 14th Infantry and subsequent move with the rest of the 2nd Brigade to Ft. Drum, New York in 1988.
However, your professional credibility is materially adversely affected by claims of support from unknown and unnamed "Chiefs of Staff" or any other alleged "National Security Advisor." To be frank, they should be named, and
their bona fides established.
[Of course, your personal credibility is brought into question by your Chapter 7 bankruptcy you filed in 2007 in Tacoma, WA; apparently in response to the five civil judgments rendered against you in Tacoma, WA; and your state tax lien filed against you in Colorado in 1991.

When that happens wolfgang, feel free to have your "powerful attorney" contact mine. I'll give you his contact info.
I'd really like to be there when you explain to your "powerful attorney" what NUO ("not under orders") means and why you're the only individual in the history of the military that does not possess a DD-214, an ID card or receive retirement pay and benefits?
And you actually got a few to believe that crap huh?

wolfgang hammersmith must be hanging out with scott witt.....
Scott Witt – Well, to tell you of my background is to tell you what Dark Horse is. Dark Horse was a call sign – it was my personal call sign, back in the day of my special forces [work].
GG – When was that, when did you serve?
SW – Everything I did in special forces was ‘black ops’. I first joined the Rangers back in 1987 and I was only with the Rangers for a year when I decided to join what was called ‘the Cherokee’ at that time. They were a mixture of special forces. It was not just Rangers, it was Navy SEALs, it was Marines, it was everyone. And they’d take the best of the best…and create one unit. And that unit answered only to the Pentagon. And from that point forward, all we did was black ops. Nothing we ever did could be talked about from that point forward.
GG – Okay.
SW – So, anyway, the members of these types of groups…as we all kinda got shot up, and retired, and came home…and a lot of us now are heads of corporations…and serve as vice presidents of major banks…things like that all over the country. But we wanted to kinda stay together as a group and we wanted to make sure we always did something for the good. We got in to doing personal protection, as a group. And I formed Dark Horse Tactical. We did several things – for example, police officers, they get very little training when they come out of the academy. Even SWAT officers have training that’s very minimal, compared to what they could get. And the only reason teir training is so minimal is because the cities or the counties they work for won’t pay for [the advanced training].
lol Only thing worse than a poser is one who can't even dream up his own fantasy.

"Update 23 December 2010
I met with my attorneys in Washington, D.C., early this week. Based on evidence I shared with my attorneys (including my original orders to report to duty in 1969) an investigation is being mounted to uncover my official status in the Marine Corps. Additionally, I have sent Standard Form 180 (SF 180) to request my military status.
Based on legal counsel’s advice, I am voluntarily removing my rank from my book BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY: GUNFIGHT! until such time that my military status can be made public.
Additionally, I am moving the genre of my writing into fiction instead of non-fiction.
To reiterate, I have sent a FOIA to the agency that I believe has my records, and I have engaged a powerful, experienced Washington, D.C. law firm as my attorneys in this matter with the goal of obtaining a publicly reviewable DD-214 and other evidence of my service, should it be available. Their job is not to dig out information that violates any of my National Security Agreements, nor will they perform investigations, the results of which could betray any of the people or agencies with whom I have a confidential relationship.
It has been my intent to act with respect to the USMC and I am working diligently (and at considerable personal expense) to provide publicly available documentation that will, if possible, validate my career.
I will continue to provide status updates and the website will re-open as soon as the modifications are complete. When my status has been made clear, which will more than likely take several months, I will amend the website and my book again to reflect that clarification.

Our resident physician and attorney have spoken.....
Game, set, match. :munchin
Wolfgang, I'm Wet Dog, I fix problems.
If you have been troubled by the risks of meeting a QP in some dark alley, or a group of Marines at the nearest VFW, a retired Marine Col, etc., let me assure you, there is no one who wants to hurt you, except for,... well, me.
I want to crush you.
That is of course, figuratively. You see, I have a rock crusher and it will take you down to 1/4" crumble. From there, we will visit the impactor and you will be turned to dust. Dust size at this point is aprox. 200 mesh, roughly the size of a single grain of talcum power.
I've contained you in collection, have not lost a single amount of the person once known as Wolfgang Hammersmith, but we are not done. I'm going to reduce you even further, down to 500 mesh, almost naked to the human eye. I've got chemicals, emulsions, heat and the ability to seperate all of you by elements, (honor, ethics, code of conduct, virtue, love, compassion and trust). If I find any such element in you by recovery, I will stamp you 0.999%.
If none is found, I will call you 'Bull Shit Pure'. I assume you had a mother who once loved you, if she is still walking this earth, I'm sure she still does. I assume also that you had children, perhaps some living, in that you deserve, .0001%.
If you are alone, then .0001% for vulnerability, which allows you to remain coachable.
but I digress. If they are living, then end the charade with dignity, come clean, do not leave your children with this legacy. What you leave behind will weigh more than your burdens in this life.
You see Wolfgang, the men of Special Forces have been purged like gold having seen the heat of the furnance and the strain of the Master's hammer. They have been examined, turned and tested resulting in the Master's stamp of authenticity that reads 99.999% Pure "SF". In His wisdom, he withheld, .0001% for humility. By humility we remain trainable to learn one more thing, one more element of human nature, the cause for justice and the absolute necessity for our need to be on a team.
I patiently await your reply.
Wet Dog
I love it!!! Typically, I'd prefer my chipper shredder. But a rock crusher? Just seems a bit more medieval for some reason. Perfect....:)
I gave Wolfie an out, to redeem .0001% of truthfulness. If not for himself, at least for those who loved him.

Wolfgang Hammersmith
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello Wet Dog,
Having spent money and invested time in reading his book (under the guise that these were TRUE stories), it is unfortunate to read that Mr. Hammersmith is potentially a fraud. The facts are simply against him, especially with the "Update" posted on his website.
It is difficult to not feel disillusioned and betrayed. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed reading the book and the stories are entertaining, but the lack of truth I honestly wouldn't mind if it was out on the table that the stories were made up. I think you can agree that, given the choice, I may have chose differently.
I explained it to a friend as such how people say Whitney Houston is a crackhead. Nobody says Brad Pitt or other celebrities are crackheads, so some rumors, especially those that go on for a while, have a level of validity. It is a shame that I believed in this individual and wasted time writing feedback to him about how awesome I thought it was that the cover of my book I ordered was shot through with a .45 round, as well as signed.
Perhaps my words should have came to this forum instead. I certainly feel that those who served should read the appreciation that a young civilian has for these individuals, especially Special Forces. It is no wonder that this community would rip apart anyone who is intentionally deceiving honest people for monetary or ego gain.
Thank you for bringing to light an alternative side of Mr. Hammersmith and his novel.

Real Life Call of Duty Writer Wolfgang Hammersmith Revealed As Fraud?
Jan 11, 2011 at 4:52 PM - Jube - 12 Comments
Back in November we interviewed "Wolfgang Hammersmith", author of the book "Beyond The Call of Duty: Gunfight!". Hammersmith claimed to have spent 19 years in Black Ops combat, and to be one of the best in the world at small unit combat tactics, Special Ops, a Lt. Col., etc. etc. Wolfgang's book was listed as non-fiction. The folks at Professional Soldiers found Hammersmith's website, book and credentials to be quite laughable, so took it upon themselves to expose the writer as a fraud.
Since all of this started, Wolfgang Hammersmith has replaced his website (including the pages advertising his book) and replaced it with a letter. Although Hammersmith does not admit to being a fraud, he does say that he cannot produce military credentials and as a result is voluntarily removing his rank from the book, and is changing the genre from non-fiction to fiction. Hammersmith maintains that he is still trying to recover records of his military background and when he is able to provide proof of his background he will do so.
According to Professional Soldiers, Wolfgang Hammersmith has burned through a number of fake names, and has been scrutinized for dodgy dealings in the past.

My guess if that you've realized that forging documents is not going to work and if you did go that route make damn sure you use the correct font for the times. (Unless you're scamming CNN, they don't care what font you use and they will present it as a "real document")
Who you going to scam/defraud next?
(If you need assistance just read our "Hall of Shame", we have frauds that scammed the entertainment industry (like you), charities, colleges, news reporters, law enforcement, the US Military, the VFW, religions, churches, friends and family, you name it!!! No one has scammed an orphanage, yet, you could be the first!)

It seems his high speed legal team (Dewey, Cheatim & Howe) forgot to advise our hero to update his Myspace page. I'm sure they'll get around to it in due time.

"About me:
I am now primarily a writer, with a new book coming out on 01 November called "Beyond the Call of Duty: Gunfight!" This book describes what happened in ten gunfights just before, during, and after. I am also a motorcyclist with 1.8 million street miles since 1959 (Member of Tacoma Chapter HOG), low-time helicopter pilot, musician (electric bass), non-rated chess player (Member of USCF) and I disagree with the FIDE policy of giving women a lessor rating standard than men, Scuba diver (PADI Master Diver, Dive Master), international sailor (Captain of SV Standfast and other sloop and cutter-rigged vessels) and I held a Ship's Master License for 200 Ton Sailing Vessels for a number of years. I'm a writer (see above), an underwater/surface cinematographer and videographer with 11 years experience, and a still photographer (11 still photo shows to date), underwater film director, and I study the martial arts of Pistolcraft and Comprehensive Knife Fighting.
Who I'd like to meet:
People who enjoy my books."
And here's probably the only true statement on that page: "Badges (Earned 0 of 17)
Wolfgang Hammersmith hasn't earned any badges..."

What a micro-storm! A tempest in a teacup. For all who support me, thank you. In the words of one of my favorite American philosophers, “I am what I am and that’s what I am.” – Popeye.
Keep in touch with my web site. I am working with a team that is looking into what can be revealed about my background. One of them is a Lt. Col. with the US Army who is a physician and has examined my wounds, determining to his satisfaction that my injury list are real wounds, and there is another retired USMC Col. involved in this research, both of whom have no doubt that I am who I claim to be.
I still have my original orders to report for duty in the Corps that state my entry rank into active duty in August of 1969 as PFC. My original orders also state that I was in the USMC Reserves for three months prior to that date. This paper has been examined and has been proven authentic, and is part of the ongoing investigation. It’s what happened to me right after that, and for the rest of my years in active service, that is not available so far.
One othe observation: The “professional soldiers” are so professional that they used my current name to do their research, and some other names they found lying around, none of which is the name I entered the Corps with, and they say they can’t find my names listed as being in the Corps! This is amazing to me, as if they could connect one of those names, my cover protection would have broken down significantly. This is one reason that people with my MOS don’t come out in public.
What the Corps will do do to resolve this is anyone’s guess, but I have submitted a SF180 which is still in progress.
We’lll post all of this, and more, on the re-vitalized website, and yes, there are more books on the way, including “Gunfight! 2″ and “Women in Combat.”
The support from those soldiers, active and retired, who know me, and many more who have read my work has been great, and members of the intel communities of several nations have also encouraged me to stay the course and continue on, not to prove the nay-sayers wrong – who actually don’t matter to anyone who really knows this field – but because they really enjoy my writing.
Semper Fi!

Entered the Corp as a PFC, no wonder his is a hero.
sounds like our boy reported for duty and probably got dx'ed immediately. OTOH I remember reporting to basic and having that guy ask us who wanted to be a double nought spy like right away cause we looked so sharp right off the bat.

Wolfgang Hammersmith Fraud & Liar
wolf-boy gave us all a good laugh. The folks that hired him to consult for the gaming industry were NOT laughing when we told them he was a total fraud.
Fraud-boys face and bio can still be found here:
http://wolfganghammersmith.com/about-2/
When we snag one like wolf-boy it's nothing but pure entertainment! ;)
"As part of Combined Services, prior to RDF (Rapid Deployment Force) and Delta Force, he continued an illustrious combat career during which he led combat teams in eighty-six missions, across 41 countries."
That paragraph still makes me smile.

Its was definately entertaining, brother but also very impressive. What I can not beleive is that he actually showed face and continues to profess his creds. I think he spent to much time imersed in his own fantacy game profile. The part that boils my freakin blood is the way this fake, fony, fraudgulent, bastard even speaks about honor, respect, and brotherhood of our ranks, like he has a freakin clue. He passes out his line of bull*@#$ to these gamer children like candy out of his pocket...Mr. Hammersmith you are one pathetic individual.

I just found this thread and clicked on Wolfie's link. That is the by far the most amateur and patently bogus BS I have actually seen in print. With all of the current crop of actual personal experience books to come out since 9/11, why would anyone want to read that juvenile crap? And this guy is still in business? But then, the O is still office. This is literary equivalent of the bogus SF Col. Crocheron's uniform.

You'd think that he'd at least go out and drop a few bucks on some updated battle-rattle to wear in his picture. He looks like his latest reference was either the movie, "The Green Beret" or a picture book on Tito 's partisans. Poor Wolfie. Books must not be selling that well.
