Tim has plenty to be proud of…No idea why he had to tell so much BS, especially when so much of it was witnessed or known about by so many other people (and some even being public record and etc).
The vetbro grift requires a consistent stream of escalating bullshit war stories.
If he stuck to the real-life heroics, he’d run out of material. Guys who wear Gruntstyle t-shirts don’t wanna hear the same dozen stories over and over again.
You’re 100% right on that. Not to derail, but I was oblivious and basically trusted everything everybody said in movies and books like Lone Survivor, American Sniper, etc… then you hear the actual stories and it’s like WTF.
Anyway, there is a thread for that kind of stuff if anybody wants to join in. Hopefully we won’t need to add this story in this thread to it…and Hopefully Tim is doing OK.
I dont know exactly what he lied about or how much but he talks about at least some of it here on this podcast with bryan callen for those that are interested. Hope hes ok.
