Deadliest Warrior host Robert Daly steals valor

| October 6, 2011

Our buddy, JD, also known as Team Sergeant at Professional Soldiers. whose stolen valor research focuses on guys claiming to be Special Forces soldiers has busted a host of the Spike TV show “Deadliest Warriors”. now, i’ve never watched the show, so i had to see who we’re talking about, so here’s Robert Daly, the man in question;

Deadliest Warrior Legends – Part 1: The Legends Return
Get More: Deadliest Warrior Legends – Part 1: The Legends Return

Apparently hes been trying to advance the show by claiming that he was Special forces. JD has some links to some of those claims, but here we’re more interested in the records so JD sent us what he got. First his assignments;

His military and civilian education;

Yeah, it looks like he had some pretty high-speed assignments, but nothing that can rise to the level of Special Forces…which are the words he used, in case someone wants to get in another pissing contest over context. According to some of you, special services at the gym troops handing out volley balls are considered “Special Operations”.

I guess I am a little slow, but why would anyone who served ever want to make false claims to make themselves into something they are not? Why not be proud of the service that they provided this country? I mean, sure I am a CA Soldier, and we have all had our recent battles over that one, but I am proud of the contributions that my Soldiers and I have made in the two theaters, and I don’t hide anything nor make up any part of my two tours to make them sound cool or high speed.

Even the wikipedia entry for this guy states ‘former Green Beret.’

For f**ks sake, you’d think people these days, with the internet around, would be smart enough not to embellish their records or make outright false claims. Even a 3 year old kid can find stuff online, do these morons not know that one day their false claims will come back to bite them in the arse? Are they really that ignorant?

Tman. There are plenty of stupid people. Look who is in the White House and consider how he got there.

King

You are such a petty little cunt faggot, Jonn. Sorry if people questioning you hurts your fucking feelings you little retarded baby. Go fuck yourself cocksucker.

John Curmudgeon

I need to know the story to #4’s post. /popcorn

King

Hurr Durr Hurr, shut the fuck up retard.

Land-slide 0369

Yeah…What’s the deal with #4? Turrets syndrome whipping your ass today?

NotSoOldMarine

You’re a pretty cool guy King. You sound like a badass too.

Land-slide 0369

And with the story….well, that’s a shame. I enjoy his show…really educational (for the most part) stuff.

lucky

Wow, such hostility! Somebody stop him from damaging my calm….

King

#7 It’s tourettes you stupid motherfucker.

10- Your brain is so damaged already that any change to your calm isn’t really going to make a difference. Go fuck yourself.

torinojon

Sounds to me like the angry princess might be robert daly himself. Or maybe he got caught being a poser too. Either way billy-badass, take some pamprin.

King

She didn’t claim to be a green beret you moronic fuck. She claimed to have been assigned to a Special Ops unit, which at the time, she was. Get it through it your stupid fucking head, you imbecile cocksucker. And I object to you claiming to have been a soldier, I’ve got much more combat time than your worthless fucking ass, and it didn’t consist of staying buttoned up in Bradley like a little bitch. Fuck you.

John Curmudgeon

I knew this was about a girl.

King

That’s about the only thing you know about girls, you impotent fuck.

John Curmudgeon

Sis?

lucky

Wow, such vitriol! Seriously? Bro, calm it down, you might accidentally offend someone!

King

Don’t bro me if you don’t know me, you fucking child.

lucky

Lolz, really? Dude, calm down, you might pop a vein in your forehead or something… That thread is dead, and you really really need to get over it

NotSoOldMarine

Oh, I see. He’s over here being an internet white knight for the chick who rolled with a Civil Affairs crew and billed herself as being “special operations” on her website. Yeah?

lucky

Yep, he is still trying to ruin it for those of us in the CA community

Special Forces is much more specific than special ops. It’s like being a Ranger in terms of you are either tabbed or not. If this tv host was not tabbed, and he claimed to be “special forces,” then he’s lying. Alternative is that he was attached to an sf unit like many people are.

Finally, don’t feed the trolls (at least the ones that lack any sort of creativity).

Just A Grunt

You know what is really funny. You can be a grunt and serve in an MI battalion, I know cause I did, but you can’t be MI and serve in an Infantry battalion.

LRSD (Long Range Surveillance Detachment) are in MI battalions. Or they used to be.

malclave

King’s time of the month?

Land-slide 0369

King, calm down man…

Can we please stop feeding this troll?

#24 JAG:

I think the Marine Corps have “Ground Sensor Platoons” in their Intel Battalions now…I got offered that or a job in the MLG here in Okinawa.
I took the MLG…wished I would have gone to Intel Bn.

@ #17 that was good.

Wow…looks like our boy King has had a lot of trigger-time…Airsoft trigger time, that is.

Take two Midol and go play on the freeway, son.

Thats not sis thats my exwife Katherine…either that or the devil…..not a green beret either though.

CI Roller Dude

Does Special Olympics count? I was watching the new shooting show on the (I think) the History channel— Top Shot. I fast forward through all the bs crap talk and just watch them shoot. There was a guy who said he was a Navy officer…in one scene he said he was in charge of SEALS…later they were saying he had been a SEAL. The guy was too fucking annoying to have been anything like that…but I think he kind of BS’d people.

Question: how can you be in charge of SEALS if you ain’t one? I don’t know, I was an Army dude.

TSO

You mad bro?

lucky

Yeah, I think the Bro is mad

Hail To The King, Baby

I remember it like it was yesterday, man…there we were, facing down an enemy squad, totally outnumbered. They had already taken out our point man and they were gunning for the rest of us. We’d feint to the right and they would counter, projectiles whizzing past our heads so close, you could smell the rubber cover on the ball.

I don’t care what anyone else says that game looks pretty fucking sweet.

oh and King? SHUT THE FUCK UP. That Lawyer what’s her face *should have* been laid to rest after 20 posts at maximum. But fuckheads like you kept it going and going and going and FUCKING GOING. I swear its like guys like you find every corps you can and beat it cuz you like the meaty thwacking sound.

I don’t care if he was MI, or a god damned cook, if he served honorably why should he need to embellish the story? Even when I’m bullshiting there’s a line I don’t cross. Yeah I might play up how much it sucks to “clean” a burnout shitter, and I’ll tell you WORKING (key word here) with SF was pretty fucking sweet. But I will not say I was an operator, or that I was “part of” or even that I rubbed elbows with them. Those guys were of Chuck Norris level awesomeness, (which I have no problem telling anyone that asks) and I was lucky they imparted knowledge to me.

Now King I know you got all but hurt by some of the things we might’ve said, so here’s what I want you to do. Cry me a river, build me a bridge and get the fuck over it.

Dirty Al the Infidel

@31 Yeah CI the guys was supposedly a SEAL team leader. He ressigned after a few years cause the teams weren’t Affirmative Action enough for him. He sounds like a real Blue Falcon, and I can’t believe he made it through BUDS with that attitude of his.

FNG

What the fuck is wrong with this guy, and why is he angry? And King, chill out bro.

NotSoOldMarine

re #37

Oh shit, points for Blue Falcon, I haven’t heard that in forever.

“…much like many Special Forces operators don’t like being equated to veterinary dieticians.”

and much like Special Operations Forces don’t like being equated to conventional forces.

This is a pretty graceless way to address the objections raised by that ‘poseur lawyer’ post. Your argument isn’t with the commenters who pointed out your accusation was without merit, it’s with FM 3-05.

Beretverde

A poser is a poser… parsing words/phrases (and prominently posting high speed qualifications) is misleading to those that don’t know. This makes one a poser. Over the years I’ve encountered 101st legs and puking Dragons (sporting airborne tabs) woof the airborne shit. OK, they sport the unit patch and the airborne tab which is a part of their unit patch… it’s not their fault that the patch has airborne… but it is their fault when they talk about jumping out of a 707 at night. I’ll never forget the time at the ATL airport when a 101st sporting the puking buzzard was in her dress greens, and someone axed her if she be airborne (sporting an air-assault badge). She said “Oh yeah airborne… Hoo-ah!”

Again, those that know … know!

No offense to my “101st Buzzard” bros and “18th Corpse” bros… they know as well!

Anyway… there are three types of people… those that are, those that aren’t, and those that want to be!

Old Trooper

King in #s 4,6,11,14,16, and especially 19: Bro, why you be hatin’? You come on and start pumping your chest and showing your ass and telling people how much of a badass you are and then tell them not to “bro you” if they don’t know you. Make up your mind, bro, are you Billy Badass, or not? You tell us all that so that we “know you” then tell us we don’t know you. Make up your mind, bro.

I especially like how, when your chest is pumped up and your bare ass is hanging out, that you claim to be some tough guy sooper trooper compared to Jonn and we’re just supposed to take your word for it, because you said it with such style, grace, and conviction?

Methinks that those who protest so much are not who they say they are…

@35 I’m halfway through the MallNinja archive LMAO, forced to stop and catch my breath.

“… it is not a threat to remind a person that he better not break the law on my shift.

HAHAHAHA*gasp*HAHAHA!….

So happy you shared this!

I always thought imagery analyst would be a neat job.

Pretty interesting thread…I just passed the profesionalsoldiers.com link to a close friend who actually appeared on the show…and he is a real life, BTDT, certified pipe hitter.

Unlike “King”…who is probably sitting in his parent’s basement, playing with himself while gay porn sites.

Get down and do some push-ups, douche bag. Oh…sorry…you can’t do any, can you, BRO, cuz they hurt too much?

Doc Bailey

#40 I’m sorry but SOF may get many secret squirrel missions, but at the end of the day they tend to do the same jobs as everyone else. CA tries to rebuild nations which is: pretty much what everyone else is doing. PSYops: tries to demoralize enemy. Tell me what everyone else is doing.

buster

@Doc Bailey,

I inadvertently posted as ‘anonymous’ earlier. My bad. I think you oversimplify the missions of CA and MISO and how they supplement the SOF mission, but that’s not really the point. Even ceding the accuracy your characterization of SOF missions, it’s not about the missions SOF gets, it’s about the fact that posters and commenters here are substituting their opinion for doctrine. You’re entitled to your opinion – and I respect that you’re trying to observe a higher standard than the Army’s standard, but you need to acknowledge that it’s your opinion that doctrine should be changed, not that doctrine doesn’t exist.

Jonn Lilyea wrote at the end of an otherwise excellent post:
“According to some of you, special services at the gym troops handing out volley balls are considered “Special Operations”.

It is fairly clear that this is a shot at those who contested his earlier post on the CA SGT turned lawyer.

First, it’s not according to “some of you”, it’s according to Army Doctrine, specifically FM 3-05 and the entire family of ARSOF publications. Second, it’s not ‘handing out volley balls’, it’s being in a SOF designated unit, such as MISO, CA, RANGER, 160th SOAR, and yes, SF.

The original post about Gamble was based on a misunderstanding of doctrine. To keep pretending that this is a difference of opinion is problematic.

Put another way, none of the regular commenters on this blog would accept a Stolen Valor excuse that they substituted their opinion of what they “earned” for what’s spelled out in 600-8-22. So why is it ok to substitute your opinion for what’s spelled out in the regs about SOF?

@48….it’s not a matter of Army Doctrine as much as it is a clarification of what exactly it is that these people did when ASSIGNED as SUPPORT personnel or were CA. The fact of the matter is that when you tell a simple minded civilian that “I was with Special Operations Forces.” or “I WORKED with SOF.” they are not going to know the difference even though a Veteran will understand. These people need to ensure that when someone asks they tell them what exactly it is they did.

Yeah CA is/was considered Special Operations but it is not the same shoot and loot job of the heavy hitters in the SpecOps community and this is a definition that needs to be clarified for the simple minded civilian.

As for this current retard who was apparently ASSIGNED to work in a SUPPORT Battalion of a Special Forces unit he just plain needs to get his head unfucked before one of the true bad asses from that small community of warriors does it for him.
