Join hosts Eddie Gallagher (@Eddie_Gallagher) and David Fields (@Davidfields22) as they break down a disturbing case of dishonesty in the special‑operations community. In this episode, we’re joined by Terry Wilson (@Terry.M.Willson.Jr) and Scott Brown (@bravewaters_fishing) Together we unpack the truth behind what’s become a major scandal: a high‑profile former Green Beret who for years *implied* he earned a **Bronze Star with Valor**—a deeply honored combat award—but in a recent "apology" admitted he never received it. Instead, his Bronze Star was awarded for meritorious service, not battlefield heroism ([Military.com][1]).The episode covers:* How those false claims evolved into a public persona built on exaggerated combat credentials.* The military’s ongoing investigation into his service record and whether he may lose his Special Forces tab ([Military.com][1]).* Reflections from our Green Beret guests on the broader “Vet Bro” influencer culture, where branding and social media clout can incentivize embellishment—creating a dangerous blur between storytelling and claim fabrication ([Business Insider][2]).* Why accountability matters—not just in this high‑profile case, but across special forces—where trust and honor are not optional.Our guests bring rare perspective as current Special Operators committed to preserving the reputation of the brotherhood. They’ve seen firsthand the damage that even one influential figure lying about valor can do to public trust and the morale within the force.Tune in to hear:* A frank discussion on how such claims slipped into the public domain unchecked.* What an official investigation looks like and what could happen.* Why the veteran and civilian communities must hold each other accountable—and what integrity really means in service.🎙️ Don’t miss this hard‑hitting conversation on truth, reputation, and restoring honor—because heroes aren’t built on lies.#ShootMeStraightPodcast #NYPDStories #HostageNegotiator #ProtectAndServe #PurposeAfterRetirement #MenOfCourage #LeadWithFaith #ironsharpensiron *Special thanks to our partners:*🔥 *Firecracker Farm* – Everything is Better With Hot Salt🧊 *Aqua Vitae IV* – Wellness & Recovery in Destin, FL🔇 *Elevated Silence* – Premium Suppressors for Life’s Best Days
