Any day now, SCOTUS is due to rule on the constitutionality of the SVA.
While researching the upcoming SCOTUS ruling, I came across the newest "Navy SEAL" to be exposed as a 100% fraud - a former Army PFC (who even has SEAL tattoos) claiming to be a retired MCPO, with a stolen resume that was lifted word-for-word from a real MCPO SEAL.

As I personally do not believe lying about being a SEAL or winning a certain medal should be criminally punished (unless fraud or some other crime is attempted or completed), exposing the liars as liars should be publicized as much as possible. Public shame should be heaped upon them, but not criminal punishment.

We found a biography for Creekmur posted online. And we can confirm the SEAL resume is 100 percent authentic. It’s just not his.
The bio actually belongs to this guy, retired Master Chief and real Navy SEAL Steven Matulewicz. Let’s compare.
Matulewicz enlisted in the Navy in 1983 and then “looked for every opportunity to take on greater leadership roles.” So did Creekmur, word for word.
In 1985, Matulewicz reported to BUD/S – basic SEAL training class 134. Then he deployed to Central and South America. Creekmur, ditto. In 1989, Matulewicz “screened for and passed the arduous 6-month training cycle at SEAL Team Six.” Creekmur, too. Again, word for word. They had the same assignments, earned the same medals, even went to the same civilian college Excelsior College in Albany, NY. But Excelsior has no records of Creekmur attending.
The retired master chief, who still lives and works in Hampton Roads, told us he’s outraged someone just lifted his resume. But he’s more angered that someone is pretending to be a SEAL in the first place. That, he says, is a dishonor to all SEALS.
And before you get the idea Creekmur is just bragging to the ladies, you should know this: He routinely corresponds with CNN reporters to offer his opinion and expertise on military stories. Here he tells Soledad O’Brien about all the death he’s seen in combat. She resent his message to her more than 140,000 followers. CNN would not comment for our story.
The woman says when she first questioned Creekmur’s claims, he sent her his DD-214. That’s a military document detailing a service member’s assignments. She sent it to us. As to his Navy SEAL assignments on this line, both Don Shipley, and members at Navy Special Warfare Command in California, say it’s simply not true. And it turns out the rest of it is also false. Naval Personnel Records Command confirmed to NewsChannel 3 the Creekmur never served in the Navy. Not one day.
Did Brian Creekmur ever serve in the military? The National Personnel Records Center sent us this document. It shows Creekmur enlisted in the Army in 1984. He was at one time promoted to Specialist, but when he was discharged in 1990, his rank was lower, Private First Class. And that’s it. Records reveal no other military service.
