More on Joseph Cryer, the Chippendale SEAL

| May 29, 2011

Joseph B Cryer

Late last month we wrote a bit about Joseph Cryer, the Chippendale SEAL who claimed, among other things that he’d been selected by members of SEAL Team Six while playing video games in an arcade to go directly to BUD/S training without the bothersome boot camp training. Then he was deployed to the coast of Libya, on the USS Caron from which he was launched like a murderous missile against Qaddafi and had a body count of 77 Libyans in just 102 hours of a killing frenzy. And then he was promoted to O-5.

Well, the folks at POW Network sent us his records last night. They seem quite a bit different than his Hollywood-style stories;

Nothing spectacular in his DD214 in the way of medals, other than the fact that he deployed with some damn fine units.

And, oh, look, he went to boot camp at Great Lakes Recruit Training Center. How pedestrian. I don’t see any BUD/S training, not even a stint at the Fort Benning Academy of Gravity – a pre-requisite for any special warfare training.

I know that prosecutors from Department of Veterans Affairs, Office of the Inspector General are regular readers here. According to POW Network, Cryer is receiving DVA benefits based on his wild-ass fairy tales so you guys might want to look into that.

Cryer has threatened to file lawsuits against POW Network, and I want to let Cryer know that I’m available for a piece of that action, too. Please, please, please sue me, douche nozzle.

Cryer, I have to ask; have ya seen the thread about the HHC on here? Please review that before making threats.

Why won’t you answer my question? Yes or no?

Wow, the stipper is calling out the Ranger PLT SGT, I know who my money will be on…. Dude, either admit that you lied, or give up the class number and name of your LPO and CPO in charge at the time, it ain’t that freaking hard!

Dear Mr. Cryer, First and foremost, you should not consider the following as legal advise. I do not and will not represent you under any circumstances. However, I do feel the need to clear up a few things for you. Defamation of character generally is classified by whether the communication was in writing (libel) or spoken (slander). Generally, defamation of character is not a separate cause of action. Because you appear to be complaining about posts on the internet, you should probably stick to libel. Now, to prevail in a lawsuit against the POW Network, you will minimally have to show that the statements made by the POW Network were (a) false and that they (b) injured your reputation or good name. Further, because the POW Network is a publisher and you were at one time a candidate for public office, any defense attorney worth there salt will argue and likely prevail on making malice the standard of proof for any defamation case. In this situation, malice is seen as making a statement that is knowingly false or with reckless disregard to the truth. It is my understanding that you claim that you were a SEAL. SEALs have secret missions, but ther are no secret SEALs. To be a SEAL, even in the 1980s, you must have graduated from BUD/S. Thus, if you did not attend, much less graduate from BUD/S, you are the one who has made a false statement. The POW Network pointing out that fact is not libel because it is true. Further, even if by some slight chance you were a part of some portion of the Naval Special Warfare community, the fact that the POW Network took the steps of using FOIA to review your records, and reviewing statement on Facebook made by one of your shipmates stating your claims are false, shows a conscientious effort to discover the truth making it virtually impossible for you to meet your burden. In fact, I would strongly suggest that any attorney considering signing a complaint in such an action reread Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 and/or… Read more »

Oh, Joseph, Joseph, Joseph…where did your mother and I go wrong?

You want to know the deep, dark, underlying issue here with skidmarks such as yourself? I’m gonna use some words here, words to which you might know the dictionary’s definition, but the MEANING of which you’ve never understood, nor likely will you ever comprehend:

Honor.
Integrity.
Courage.

Yes, by any standards, you did good time. Hell, by the looks of it, you could even get into the VFW (but not the AmLegion.) You could have moved on, content that you’d done more for your country than probably 98 percent of Americans.

But that wasn’t enough for you. You wanted more of the glory. You wanted all the fame and none of the sacrifice. Yeah, being on a destroyer sucks balls, but it beats the living fuck out of sitting on a mountaintop in Afghanistan, freezing your balls off while Achmed the goatherder is telling the Taliban where you are.

If someone asks you, “Did you serve?” you could have simply replied in the affirmative and that would be that. But you had to go too far. You had to make claims so outrageous that you not only discredit yourself, you shame the name of the good men who wear the Trident.

I know this is beyond your comprehension, but if you had any honor, or integrity, or courage at all, you’d go to Virginia Beach to the families of those lost in Team 6, and contritely beg forgiveness for all the pain and misery you’ve caused. Yes, you. To do anything less is only to reenforce the scorn and derision you have so richly deserved to be placed upon your shoulders like a yoke, to be publicly used as an identifier, to have those around you shun you for the pariah you are.

That, and you’re a worthless piece of shit. YMMV.

You can’t pay for entertainment like this! Thanks Jonn!

@John- Pick the time and the place. I have provided my home address you do not have the courage to reciprocate.

@Susan- The POW Network would have no idea what a person did or did not do in the military. To represent contrary is fraud.

Nicely put Susan, ohh, and owing to your last statement, do the letters O, E, and S mean anything to you?

@John- What is your address, I have posted mine. You run your mouth then put up or shut up.

@John- Until you post your actual address you are nothing more then a punk. Period. Be a MAN..

How is it fraud when it is done abiding by Federal law? Jeez, some people can’t figure out when they have both been bested and made to look like a fool, Cryer, take due notice thereof…..

Frankly Opinionated

Finished of my second bag of popcorn reading this, damn near choked on the Bullshit spewed by “Anonymous”/Joseph Cryer, or his male lover, and have yet to see anything at all that would even begin to overshadow the bullshit that Cryer is spewing.
Phony, 100% unadulterated/undiluted Phony.
The closest he has ever been to a SEAL was when he tried to put the make on one and got his ass slapped back to last week.
Cryer, you are not only a phony, but a lyin assed liberal/progressive. (I deduced that by your lack of the ability to answer a yes/no question with either of those answer choices.)
Hell, I think I need to throw up a design based on this Stripper/phony SEAL/useless jerk.

Two guys, let’s call them Hot Wax and Jonn, are standing on a cliff. Hot Wax says to Jonn, “I’ll jump if you jump.” Jonn says, “Okay, but you go first.” Hot Wax jumps. Jonn laughs uproariously. The End.

I would like to expound on this subject but moving forward this case is in litigation. I was very hopeful myself that this issue could of been handled out of court, but to no avail. I would keep an eye on this case since it covers internet slander. This is a landmark case regarding this issue.

@Jonn- You still never gave me your address?

Dang… I’m out of popcorn.

Nobody say anything until I get back.

The threat phone is ringing. (Please, let me hit the button for the answering machine. Thanks!)

“Thank you for the threat to bring legal action. Your lawsuit is very important to us. If you are represented by an attorney, please hang up and call 304-772-3176. Otherwise, please continue to hold.”

Hahahaha, is it really in litigation, or is this some weak a$$ed scare tactic? I mean, you can’t sue over the 1st Amendment and things that are true?

Whats the case and docket number?

2-17AirCav

Well, hell, I nearly fell off a Huey once. Is there a statute of limitations on PTSD claims?

Old Trooper

You can’t buy comedy like what Cryer is providing.

Answer the question ya fucking douchenozzle!!!!

I don’t want to hear anymore about your taint hurting. I don’t want to hear anymore about how your going to sue everyone including Santa Claus. What I want to hear is a yes, or no, answer to the very simple question of whether you graduated from BUD/S. Do ya have fucking peanut butter or man gravy in your ears?

Jonn- Nice talking with you, too reiterate I am not the enemy. Cryer-

NHSparky

Jonn–please tell me he didn’t. Oh God, no.

I’d love to see this guy facing a 75-day underway on a fast boat (that’s a fast attack submarine, Cryer). He’d be curled up in the fetal position in CSES, crying for his momma before they even called away to station the maneuvering watch to get underway.

You are clueless..

I am clueless, Joseph? Pray tell, how? Specifics, son, let’s have ’em! This from a guy who got what I could consider sound and helpful legal advice FOR FREE from a person who has actually passed the bar exam and knows of which she speaks. Yet you still insist on suing someone for what? Definition of character?

I’d grab a bag of popcorn too, but doesn’t go all that well with beer.

Old Trooper

“So numbuts called me to tell me has PTSD from riding in a boat.”

WHAT!?!? I don’t fucking believe it! Jeezus H Cripes!!

Ok, I’ve had enough of him. What a fucking candyass.

Haha get ’em Sparky!

C’mon, Cryer, keep it going, we’re gonna get this bitch to 200 posts by midnight!

You guys/gals having fun?! I called Jonn to discuss this situation, unforgivably he was very confrontational in nature. Jonn is intent in calling the OIG within the VA. That is fine with me and I will authorize the release of my records. It was unfortunate that I am perceived as the enemy. This is not true for Veterans and there families, I am actually an ally.

Let’s shot for 200 posts.. 🙂

I still want a simple Y or N to the trident.

Look how easy it is.
I, Bulldog22, graduated from 19E AIT in 1987. I then became a 19K and served for many years as a tank commander, etc.

Hey, strippers are just working their way through medical school, Cryer could just be stripping his way to a Senate seat or some shit like that.

Old Trooper

Cryer; the reason he was confrontational is because you made claims of being a SEAL and then decided to dodge the question multiple times in this very thread. At this time, I don’t give a rip about your disability percentage, that will keep for a later date, but you have continually dodged the question and still do.

While I have a big problem with people getting 100% for bullshit while real service connected Vets get pushed back by the VA, I’ll let Jonn fight that one. I am still waiting, along with everyone else, for you to answer the fucking question. This is the last time it will be available for you to answer, otherwise I will proudly proclaim you a fraud and then I will join Jonn in questioning your disability rating.

If any of you have a problem with me or the benefits I have (earned) through the Veterans Administration you can contact them directly (800) 827 1000. It is a call way, I will authorize my records being distributed according. Other then that it is really a mute issue. “Trust Yet Verify” – Ronald Wilson Reagan-
