Ventura won’t release complete records
Army brat/Army wife sends us a link to Stars & Stripes about Jesse (Jimmy Janos) Ventura who was ordered in 2012 to present the court with his complete military records in regards to his complaint against the late SEAL Chris Kyle and now his widow, Taya Kyle. Kyle’s lawyer, John Borger, has asked the court to sanction Janos because he won’t comply with the court’s order;
Borger says that Ventura supplied only one military record that he marked “confidential” that consisted of a one-page record of discharge, effective Dec. 10, 1973. He produced no records of military service from December 1973 to September 1975.
Borger has asked the district court to sanction Ventura by prohibiting him during the trial to offer any evidence or testimony of “alleged military service after December 10, 1973.”
In a response, filed Wednesday, Court J. Anderson, an attorney for Ventura, said the former Minnesota governor’s military career “ended nearly forty years ago and most of the documents evidencing that career no longer exist.” He said that Ventura “cannot be sanctioned for failing to produce documents that have been lost to time.”
To be clear, Don Shipley has said that Ventura/Janos can indeed call himself a SEAL, so who am I to question. However, I have my military records back to 1974, just because someone might ask me about something one day. I still have my initial inventory from basic training. So what is Jimmy Janos hiding?

Smitty, while you at the others are arguing over Ventura’s SEAL/UDT status, you’re missing the point.
He’s broke. His book (he wrote a book?) isn’t selling. He can’t wrestle any more. His dubious TV show was cancelled. He has likely spent whatever money he did have and now needs some kind of medical treatment. He’s looking for CASH. Period.
He’s also a bully, and bullies look around to see who seems to be the most vulnerable and easily intimidated. Think of our most infamous and noisy troll, regarding bullies.
In this case, it’s Taya Kyle, who is NOT the recipient of the money from Chris Kyle’s book. That goes into a charitable trust that he set up. If Ventura needes help, he might be able to apply to that trust for it, but instead, chooses to be a bully and choke it out of her. If the trust was set up properly, it should have an exclusionary clause that bars someone like Ventura from benefiting.
Unfortunately for him, I think Taya Kyle is a lot tougher than she looks.
Hey! Maybe if we get lucky, he’ll come here and try to bully TAH.
Ex-PH2, I wouldn’t put that past him! I first thought that one can’t go any lower than he already has, but as soon as I say that, turds like Janos top themselves and go even lower!!
Hondo’s link says all I need to know. I hope everyone reads it.
Instead of getting into a well trodden fight over whether The Body was a SEAL or not, and if “The Hair” says he is then I’m good with that, why exactly is his service from the time period mentioned relevant?
I’ve read and re-read the article on 41 many years ago and it always stuck in my mind.
True, Ventura can ‘technically’ call himself a SEAL I suppose, but just read the link and tell me if you think he still deserves to call himself a SEAL.
Kyle was a SEAL, Janos was not. No SEAL would sue a widow over something this stupid.
