My only interest is that it was posted on this forum,I read it,looked and found The POWNET section and posted it.
Bryan makes a good point,that there is NOTHING in the Newspapaer clips that QUOTE "",Mr Guerro claiming to be a Navy SEAL,it is something which appears to be added by the reporter.
I also see Bryan's point that Steve the SEAL identifier,was operating on the point that Guerro claimed to be a SEAL,Steve adds his investigative results that make Mr Guerro look guilty,but if Guerro Never said he was a SEAL,the Investigation is mute.
So my interest is that Since I posted the POWNET findings,and now I see Bryan's point I tend to agree ,with the limited info available and with Bryan's point.
"Why did Mr Guerro not correct the error"
What would the newspaper print a retraction stating "in a previous article we said Mr Guerro was a SEAL and he is not "
Man the Papers do not even print retractions for Larger scale errors,I doubt they would correct that.
They have the name of the other Military member Mr Guerro was talking to,does he claim Guerro told him he,Guerro,was a NAVY SEAL ?
We see the reporters mistake that Mr Guerro said "SEAL BAG" when it was "SEA BAG".
Did the reporter correct that error ?
No
Two students say that they heard Mr Guerro say he was a SEAL.
Now ,from what I have read,Mr Guerro was teaching martial arts on the USS Jouett and everyone seems to know him for that,and it is possible he taught A Navy SEAL,or Many Navy SEALs,be they present and or former,perhaps that was his claim?
Two students saying an instructor said he was a SEAL,does not an imposter make.
Mr Guerro served 2 years in the Navy,not enough time to become a SEAL in the first place,no less fill the requirement of serving 24-54 months as a SEAL after training.
I do not have a dog in this fight,I am just conceeding that with the limited information,and my view of reading the post of 2006 on the USS Jouett site.
I could not see a Member of the USS Jouett,posting a "I was a SEAL Team 3 member who was sometimes on the USS Jouett,anyone remember me" type of post,especially if said writer was working as an Intelligence specialist on the ship and was not a Navy SEAL.
(something not right there)
Mr Guerro apparently was injured in an attack on the ship,which got him a Medical discharge from the Navy.
An Imposter makes a claim to prop themselves up for accolades and or to make a financial gain from the claim,especially in the martial arts.
Mr Guerro does not appear to do either.
So I really have no interest,other than to agree with Bryan that there is NOT enough innformation AT THIS TIME on supposed claims by Mr Guerro saying he was a SEAL in Combat in Vietnam.
