I'm sure that if some of the "conned, duped" organizations' asked we could assist in finding "real" Special Forces soldiers to come speak to them at an event.

Roger. I was speaking only to the phrase "bill hillar," referencing how many times I have Googled simple one or two word phrases and ps.com is in the top five. However, it looks like ps.com has moved up to fourth in the list since I originally posted.

Just like the title says, I am a personal friend of Bill. Please put your weapons down. I have known Bill for over 7 years. This all comes as a shock as well as a heart-ache. Since I’ve known him he has eluded to a military past. When I visited his home, there were no awards, decorations, plaques or any other sign he served. However, I never inquired further. This was because I was more interested in the man he was, not his military achievements. I understand the anger expressed in this forum because the sacrifice made to earn the title of any Special Forces program is extensive, to say the least.

I would like to describe the Bill I know. It may appear I am defending him, but that is not my job. He will be responsible for that. The reason I am willing to describe him is because he was not one of those people who made it a point to boast or push his military (or non) accomplishments in social settings. He rarely spoke about it (now I know why). He primarily spent his time helping people and causes. He made people feel good about themselves and was always the first to extend a helping hand. He always had a kind word and rarely did he ever say something negative about someone. He always took time to listen to someone, which is truly rare these days. This is what makes it so hard to swallow what has occurred.

Unfortunately, what has happened here is not unique. I knew of a Green Beret who placed a "Ranger" tab on his uniform when he didn't even attend the course. He got caught. What would posses this person to do this? There was a point in my career where I was surrounded by a lot of people pumping up their resumes. For example, telling us all how bad "it was" in Iraq. Or claiming they were an employee of the NSA, CIA…etc. At the time, I didn’t know better. Later I found out these same people never left the confines of the Mega-Walled US Embassy in Baghdad. Or that they weren’t actual employees of NSA or CIA, but college interns or contractors who worked on projects which were used by one of these agencies. It seems stretching (or fabricating) accomplishments is business as usual.

I had the fortune of getting called-out early in my career. When I was in the service, I eluded that I completed a course. As fate would have it, a friend of mine did attend it. He started finding holes in my story and called me out. I was embarrassed, really embarrassed. Fortunately, he was sympathetic. He then relayed a story how the same had happened to him. At that point, I realized I didn't need to make shit up to be more important. Furthermore, I started telling others that I didn’t care what they did, I was more interested if they could do the job they were hired to accomplish.

With respect to whether he had the qualifications to teach the courses he offered; let’s be real. For anyone who serves or works for the DOD, we know that anyone can earn a certificate in any of these. The DOD has 2 hour on-line training courses in Counter Terrorism. Who of us who didn’t go to Iraq receive the “Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal?” As for anything Bill instructed at universities, it was all academic or from a policy perspective.

I don’t know what is going to happen to Bill, but if anyone wanted a real challenge (ie get out of this hole), this would be it. I hope that if everything that is on this forum is true, he will come clean. Before you bash me for my comments, keep in mind I’m trying to process what has happened to someone who is a good friend. If I ever re-establish contact with him, rest assured, I’ll ask him why. And I’ll tell him that he would have been the same friend if he was nothing more than a civilian.

Uncertain, please follow the directions in the email you received when registering for this site.
As for Bill, him being a good listener and a nice guy in no way makes up for his lying, and as far as I am concerned stealing of peoples money. I hope the powers that be make an example out of him.

Uncertain,

As shocking as it may be to discover that a long-time friend of yours has conned you all these years, that is no reason to minimize the damage Hillar has done to the reputation of the Armed forces, Universities, awareness groups and Law Enforcement agencies across the country. You can save the violin music for someone actually worthy of even an ounce of sympathy, but Hillar, the bottom feeder, is not this man. Hillar deserves the shit-storm forecast for his near future, which coming faster than he can probably imagine.

Who are you? What is your purpose here?

If you had read the board rules and stickies, and complied before posting, this might make more sense. Please do so and comply with the rules before posting again.

So, being a poser and perpetrating fraud by claiming all over the internet to be an SF Colonel in multiple on line bios, professing to be a hero, and making up stories about losing a daughter to kidnappers in order to establish a speaking career is all excusable behavior in your book?

I am not buying it. People like this are pathetic and deserve to be punished to the maximum extent.

Would you like to explain to Bill that the dozens of my SF brothers who are dead in the service of this great country are dishonored by his reprehensible actions, trading on their reputations?

How about someone who took his classes or lectures and was injured or killed as a result of his bullshit?

This POS is a disgrace pure and simple, nothing more. Your comments do nothing to change my mind. He should be sentenced to ten years scrubbing bedpans at the local VA hospital for real American heroes.

Uncertain, you wouldn't happen to be Bill would you????

ZonieDiver · 11-10-2010, 15:03

Uncertain -

While the posing Hillar has done as an "SF Colonel" is repugnant to me, it is something that - unfortunately - I am becoming more accustomed to seeing.

However, as a father, the fact that he would use his daughter, if he even has one, in the manner that he did makes me wish him grave ill... soon.

I hope he ends up in jail, on the losing end of several large dollar civil fraud suits, and on non-speaking terms with his daughter, if she exists.
