Dan Noyes busts Mike Fortner, phony SEAL for 50 years
Dan Noyes sends us his latest busts 73-year-old Mike Fortner who is also a church deacon out there in California;
It took a while for Fortner to stop 50 years of lies, so I pressed him about that recording. Fortner had said that he was a SEAL Team 1, 2 and 6 leader, but Seal Team 6 didn’t even come into existence until the 1980s. Fortner finally broke after we explained that the names of anyone who had attended basic underwater demolition SEAL or BUD/S training are public, and that he is not on the list.
NOYES: “Every Navy SEAL who underwent BUD/S training, that’s part of the public record. I’d be able to find that out. You did not attend BUD/S training, did you?”
FORTNER: “Alright. You’re right.”[…]
Shipley said that Fortner has done an incredible amount of damage for five decades, gaining people’s trust with phony stories of heroism.
“Fortner is not sorry he told those lies, he’s sorry he got caught. There’s not a sympathetic bone in my body for him and I’ll take down anyone else that claims that Navy SEAL status when they were not,” Shipley said.
Dan is getting beat up the comments because of Fortner’s age. I feel ya, Dan. I get beat up every day – especially on Facebook and in Reddit. They have an excuse for feeling sorry for all of the liars and we’re big bullies for picking on them.
But here’s Dan’s video report of the sniveling little coward. You really need to watch it;
Don sent me this one months ago and I was aghast at the lies in the video. But I knew Dan was on this guy and I’ve been waiting breathlessly for it. Don’t forget to support Dan at the ABC7 website.

Ass hat. I’m still aghast at that clown in San Diego that thought claiming to be a SEAL was a good move in his campaign to run against Duncan Hunter. As if that was going to fly in friggen SAN DIEGO against a Marine
Great job Dan and Don.
People want to forgive the elderly much the same as they do the very young.
Had this guy been exposed when he was 63, 53, 53 years old ect. ther would not be the outrage.
He told lies and stole others Valor. He pretended to be something he is not. He claimed military awards and rank he did not earn. He profited from those actions.
His life was built on the foundation of this lie, how many other lies has he told that he has not been caught yet?
Wow. Fifty years rocking the lie? May be a while before anyone surpasses that record.
Meanwhile, yeah, I might have the tiniest bit of sympathy if this was something he got confused about in the past couple of months. There could be some physiological explanation.
But, no. No sympathy is this case.
Here’s an old, wrinkled “Splash. Out”. to you Fortner.
73, is he? And he’s (was?) a church deacon, too?
I’ve said this before, and will continue to say it: these people are so good at telling tall tales that people actually do swallow it. I don’t understand why none of them take up writing fiction. It would be less harmful.
Religion is usually the last refuge of a scoundrel.
Also, many of these Smegmites stay within the church to spread their lies because 1) people will be believe them, 2) many members will be hesitant to call them out because of being shunned by other members based on 3) the doctrine of forgiveness.
Loosely translated, a shitbag, pedophile SEAL Deacon could be touching your kids, stealing the church blind and mesmerizing the masses with his stories and you, as a member and citizen, will be “ex-communicated” for calling him out.
I know this because I have found a few. Not only military imposters, but others. (ex-pro athletes, Olympians, etc)
Green Thumb…As a Christian it saddens me deeply to admit that what you wrote is so very true and…all too often occurs. He said, “I did it because God began to talk to me”. No that’s another lie Mike! You did it because Dan Noyes busted your butt and that’s the only reason! As a believer, if I am living with continual wrongs in my life, yes God does speak to me, only through His Word by the way, to change and make it right with Him and all those it may concern. I can choose to listen and restore my relationship with Him and others or I can ignore Him, as Mike Fortner did for 50 years.
The worse part for me, as a veteran looking at this, is STILL the military aspect of his stolen valor, without any doubt. The additional insult to me personally, is what he brings to Christians, who try to live their best, following their beliefs. Yet, getting another HUGE black eye from a person like him. The BIGGEST INJURY is to all SEAL members who have served. The insult is to his faith and folks like me. Both are reprehensible.
“Religion is usually the last refuge of a scoundrel.” That is a TRUE and sad state of affairs I admit. I have seen it for years, not only with phoneys like him but politicians and many other folks. As soon as they’re caught they run to their religion to hide but not come clean. They forget, yes forgiveness is freely offered. However just as important is TRUST. Once that is damaged, it is NOT freely restored. It often takes years and in his case, the rest of his life, PROVING every day to every person he knows and meets, that he is trustworthy. Even then there will be those who will always be skeptical of everything he ever says.
Didn’t mean to go all “religious” on you guys. This just bothers me on many levels.
If God began to talk to him, it must have been the god he sees in the mirror, not the other one.
Ex-PH2…That is the absolute truth. “Thou shalt have no other gods before me”. Unfortunately, most of the time with so many people, the “big god” before the “true God” of their lives, faith and belief…is them.
The comments in the news sites comment section blasting Dan Noyes are so typical off asshats who never served or did anything significant and unique in their lives. Wretched fools defending another wretched old fool.
It doesn’t surprise me in the least that people who voted for a phony constitutional scholar would support a phony SEAL. For those types, it’s not about facts, it’s about feelings.
Yep, all about the feelings. Everyone is a special snowflake. FML.
Have vomit bag at ready.
You are a bad man.
Most of the comments support Dan, fortunately; I made sure to add my two cents.
Yeah I went over to put my two cents in and there are just a couple trolls there doing nothing but throwing back against anyone saying anything.
Not even any use to reply at this point. They’ll just throw back and continue to troll on and on.
They have nothing better to do, so they’re going to be the supporters because they can.
This dude is old.
Was he a SEAL in Admiral Farragut’s Navy?
I thought I saw his name on the manifest for the Titanic, he must be the one that the movie was made about, the rich guy that skunked out by taking a woman’s place on the lifeboat !!!
Age, sh-mage, posers need to be outed, PERIOD.
If the guy had started telling the lie a year ago or so, I MIGHT chalk it up. (Although he claims to be 73, he looks and acts about 93.) But he was lying in his 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, and on into his 70s. So, he gets no sympathy. None. Zip. What’s worse, he was, according to Dan, in the Navy for 10 years. Those who would turn on Dan for outing this guy are likely reacting to the guy’s age. It is just as wrong to that on his behalf as it is to use his age as a disparaging point about him.
What people don’t seem to realize is that if Fortner was lying about being a SEAL for 50 years, he was lying while he was still in the Navy.
‘lying while he was still in the Navy’ – Doesn’t that sound a bit like someone else we know about?
73? Sadly still a dipshit
So a member of the clergy parades this man in front of everyone. Another winner of the Gullible Phuk award. I wonder what his sermon was about. These people are always so wrapped up in their cause they could give a shit if the story they are using is true or not.
This one happened to be a minister. I have several life long friends that have faith, I might disagree with them, but they do walk their talk. Ole Mikey here is not the only one that should be ashamed of themselves. Lets give a big shout out to Tim Hines the pastor as well.
