How do you turn in a impostor of a retired four star Navy Seal?
Note that in the history of the U.S. Navy, there have only been 2 SEAL's to achieve the rank of 4-star Admiral. The first SEAL to achieve 4-star rank was former Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) Commanding Officer Admiral (SEAL) Eric Olsen; the other one is the current (2013) USSOCOM CO Admiral (SEAL) William McRaven.Also, there are restrictions by law on how many Admirals the Navy can of 4-star rank at any given time, and there have only been just over 200 4-star Admirals in U.S. Navy history.The easiest thing to do would be to confront him with those facts, but the best course of action realistically is to have him outed by real SEAL's, either active or retired. Former Navy SEAL's Don Shipley and Steve Robinson are such SEAL imposter hunters, and they've outed quite a few over the years. Once an impostor is outed and in the database, they're scamming activities drop significantly.Shipley runs ExtremeSealExperience - his Twitter page link is listed below, and his contact number is at the ESE site. Your best option is to contact him and get him involved.
