Can You Tell if a Service Member is a Fake?

OK this may one of the most stupid conversations I've ever listened to..... all you civilians reading this, the female from military.com should be working as a pole dancer and not advising for military.com. She's an idiot.

What the hell's the deal with the old chick too?

Also, I love that the Military.com chick is a "Relationships Expert".....why, cos she's had alot of relationships?
Or can you do a MSS-R These days - (Masters in Social Sciences - Relationships).

Thanks for the entertainment TS.
I would have thought Military.com would have respected its brand more to not send a brunette bombshell as a spokes person.

Liz Trotta? Besides the fact that was the first female reporter in Vietnam? Nothing, I guess.

Well for a reporter she sure lacks comprehension skills.

Our Brunette bombshell was obviously refering to telling a military fake by picking up on a poorly constructed back story, then trying to actually check weather they are a Navy SEAL or not.

Also, trying to claim that there was a new rash of women picking up lads in bars by claiming to be Ex-military is laughable. I'll give her kudos for being a reporting in RVN not to mention her numerous accolades, but she losses points for being a dumbass AND carrying a giant chip on her shoulder.

Just my $0.02

It's a good thing my better half does not troll here. I suspect she would try and stick her foot up your fourth point of contact just on principle.

It's not that she's a woman or that she's got some looks, it's that she's dressed like she going out on a date.

All I heard was a bunch of cackling Hen's. It was obvious Trotta had a problem with the other reporter.
She also could not be more wrong . There are places a civilian can contact for assistance outing a fake SEAL. Or any other special operations soldier. Like here for example.

That was painful for a Saturday AM. Saw nothing wrong with the M.com rep - except being young and talking "young-speak".

Trotta is past her prime and needs to keep her mouth shut these days. Turned the discussion from the subject to "ME ME ME ME - PLEASE LOOK AT ME - I'M SMARTER THAT SHE IS".

Somebody needs to put Liz in her place - too bad Diane didn't know about some of the BBs out there who can check the authenticity of a SEAL.

Overall, the whole episode reminded me of this...

TS, ask her to the next range day....

Just don't yell out "Yahoo" or she'll obviously know you are a scammer trying to get her money . Don't forget to tell her you are a 19 year old 5 star and 0-8 SEAL "Operator" to seal the deal.

All jokes aside, that was entertaining.....thanks for posting.

She may be an idiot, but she gets much better when you turn the sound off and just watch lol.
