If this is a repost I apologize.

I know for fact this guy has been faking the funk for over 45 years possibly 60 years. He worked at Mobile Infirmary Hospital as an electrician.

You’d have to ask yourself why a pathological liar would relinquish so quickly….He is hiding something sinister and wants to shut down any further investigation.

Where are the bodies buried ?

That’s interesting. I’ll have to check out that video when I get back to the house.

Seems to me he might have just got in deeper than he ever meant to and decided to just come clean. The truth will set you free. He was found out. No getting out of it.

I don’t believe it for a minute Sir. He’s trying to shut something down.

He is a very skilled sketch artist also. His combat scenes sketched on the back of heavy hospital wallpaper and window shade material are all over the world. In the homes of famous SEALs, the Pentagon, the SEAL museum in Port St Lucie Florida.

I know this stuff first hand. I don’t think all of the dots have been connected yet. The video would lead you to believe the fake Jessie assumed the real SEAL Jessie’s identity upon death. Absolutely positively not the case, I know for fact he has been at it at least 45 years.

He has even duped SEALs for over 45 years, I know this for a fact too.

Its a “you never know who you know” scenario. “Hey, nice picture man I knew a SEAL that sketched just like that, was his name Jessie Taylor, yes, I know that dude too, he is from my hometown…”

I was in the USAF (Active Duty 85-95 enlisted(separated E5)). I have always enjoyed talking with folks about their military experience - MOST don't exaggerate their contribution, but I think it is somewhat human nature to be proud of your service (I know I certainly am). However, to just make stuff up is kinda crazy to me, at least in my case pretty much everything is documented and would be VERY easy to verify.

My grandpa (Leo Lanier Jr.) was truly a great man with an unbelievable story, but I always found it fascinating how he showed a greater interest in my "very uneventful" military service vs. his experiences during WWII. He passed in 2021 (98-yrs old) and I certainly miss our conversations. He would be worth a Google if you wanted to research him.

Believe it or not, I have only watched a handful of Don’s videos. I was captivated not because of the subject of SEAL posers but because of the pathological nature of the types. I think Biden fits right in. They usually go down keeping the fake up no matter what.

His videos should be required watching by profilers, LEO’s, college classes, or any behavior oriented field.

I had to call a new "family" member out at Thanksgiving a few years ago. Claimed to be a sniper. Couldn't answer simple questions about an M16. Didn't know what 5.56 or DD-214 meant. And had been blind in one eye since he was a teenager. Never saw him again.

I ustah watch his videos all the time tracking down fake seals and exposing stolen valor..he has a compound at his house where people pay to come for his mock hell week..or he used to anyway

Great read. Your grandfather was a hell of a man.

I find it interesting how nearly every National Guard member that has been deployed saw combat action…

Yep…..I’ve noticed that too.

What dots need connecting? 10-9 please.

He’s not the first person to fool folks into believing he’s something that he isn’t. “Stolen valor”🤣🤣🤣. People impersonate police officers, medical professionals , pilots, preachers, etc. EVERY DAY. So he wants to pretend to be a Navy Seal, and lots of folks took the bait. Big deal. Did he steal somebody’s Thunder? Got attention that someone else deserved? Got a few atta boys while someone else went without? Why do grown men feel the need for special attention?

It would be a step in the right direction if every swinging di€k would drop the “I need special recognition for doing my job” attitude.

Some people need the limelight, others hate attention.

My niece married a guy who was an SrA in the NY ANG; I provided support to their ARS and said “yea, I talked to MSgt Bob ____ yesterday “. He says oh yeah I know Bob he's cool. And later on he’s telling me stuff (he’s an IT nerd as well as I am) about this and that. Then my brother says well he does this special forces stuff and I laughed it off. Well over the few short years of their marriage he apparently lied about damn near everything. I wish I could go back and tell my niece that before she married him but you know how that conversation would have went a few days before the wedding. C’est la vie

What a story. Hats off to your g'father

I knew a guy that got away with pretending to be a Blue Angels pilot. He attended celebrity events, was used in fundraisers, had newspaper articles printed about him, etc. He was the best liar I have ever been around. BAR NONE!! He knew a lot about the profession he was pretending to have been a part of. He was finally found out after he died. He did not have a military service. He fooled A LOT of very influential people.

His relinquishment of the gig is totally out of character for the type. Could be.a serial killer, could be serial womanizer going through funds, other financial gains. He literally could have been doing this since 1959 but I can verify for fact back to 1980. It’s very weird to me that his combat sketches can be found all over the world and nobody has connected they were produced by a phony.

Well, between two extended wars and numerous deployments for for guard and reserve units a lot of guard and reserve members did see combat. Maybe a little combat maybe a good bit.
