Former Navy SEAL Steve Robinson has been tracking down and exposing people falsely claiming to be real Navy SEALS or Green Berets, etc., for quite some time now. He says that people making false claims that they are members of America's elite forces are on the rise since 9/11. With the assistance of video producer John Carey, Mr. Robinson has created a little video about his efforts in which a NewsBusters story is featured prominently.
You'll recall that NewsBusters helped expose the false claims of Robert Levy, Mayor of Atlantic City, New Jersey. Levy had claimed that he was a Green Beret in Vietnam in his campaign literature apparently for several years. On Oct. 6th of 2007, we highlighted Levy's false claims in our posting titled "Atlantic City Mayor, Phony Green Beret, Under Investigation... but a Democrat?"
Thanks to Mr. Carey and Mr. Robinson for featuring NewsBusters in their fine efforts to hold people accountable for their lies. This is important work and we are glad to have been of service.
