More bogus SEAL men exposed...

It sounded too good to be true, and it was.


A US pastor who claimed he was a Navy Seal has been exposed as a fake - with parts of his story similar to the Steven Seagal thriller Under Siege and Demi Moore's action flick GI Jane, US media reports said.


Hot on the heels of the elite military squad's raid of Osama bin Laden's compound in Pakistan on May 1, which was widely celebrated in the United States, the Reverend Jim Moats told local newspaper The Patriot-News about his own time in the military during the Vietnam War.

FICTIONAL SEAL: Demi Moore as Lieutenant Jordan O'Neil, the woman to train with the US Navy Seals in the 1997 movie, GI Jane. Parts of Moore's role are believed to have led a US Pastor to lie about his armed forces role.


As long as there have been Navy SEALs, there have been men pumping up their resumes or thumping their chests in bars with bogus claims of being one of the Navy's elite warriors.


The latest crop includes a Pennsylvania minister who let his congregation believe he was a SEAL and repeated the lie to a newspaper, and there's no sign of such bogus claims abating anytime soon, especially after a secretive team of Navy SEAL commandos killed al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden.


A retired Navy SEAL from Virginia who devotes much of his time to outing the phonies said he's receiving 40 to 50 inquiries a day from people suspicious of claims by friends, neighbors or colleagues who say they're SEALs. Their doubts are usually confirmed with just a few checks.

The Naval Special Warfare Command also receives a steady stream of inquiries about possible SEALs, the vast majority of which are debunked, said Lt. Cate Wallace, spokeswoman for the command in California.


And Larry Bailey, a retired SEAL from Chocowinity, N.C., estimates he and friends who are former SEALs have exposed 35,000 phonies through the years.


"There were about 500 SEALs that operated in Vietnam, and I've met all 20,000 of them," Waterman joked.

Wannabes lie to get free beers, to get women into bed, to further their civilian careers or to get military benefits. But what really bugs retired SEAL Don Shipley is that they're stealing someone else's valor — credit due to those who put themselves in harm's way.


"The more outrageous a story is, in a lot of cases, the more it's believed. These guys do a terrible amount of damage," said Shipley, of Chesapeake, Va.


It's easy to see why folks look up to the SEALs, trained to fight on sea, air and land, because they undergo some of the toughest military training in the world.

Out of each group of SEAL recruits, 70 percent fail to make it through a six-month training course that's a test of mental and physical toughness, said Lt. Cate Wallace, spokeswoman for the Naval Special Warfare Command in California.


Those who become bona fide SEALs wear a gold trident. There are just 2,500 on active duty, many serving in the world's most dangerous places.


What's especially frustrating about people who have been exposed as frauds, Bailey said, is when they continue lying about their service.


Wallace said that those who are blatant in their deception or threaten the public safety are turned over to the U.S. attorney's office for investigation. (AP/Sydney Morning Herald)
