Skogg news (trigger warning: includes description of violence)
I totally forgot that I followed Michael Skogg's facebook feed, so I was quite astonished to see a post regarding his (falsified) claim to have been a Navy Seal. Here's the blog post the FB post linked:
Trigger warning: description of violence http://skoggkettlebell.com/cleaning-closets/#more-388 I never did buy a Skogg workout, I can't say I've been a dedicated follower. Just wondering what fellow VFers are thinking. I know on my part, it's something like finding out about Rodney Yee cheating on his wife, and John Friend just being ewwww.

The SEALs do not play games, and I can't say that I blame them. The physical, mental and emotional process required to become a SEAL is beyond grueling, and I think that this is part of what creates an elite brotherhood (I don't think there are female SEALs yet) that they don't take kindly to others lying about. Apparently a retired SEAL and his wife hunted Skogg down to confront him; a preview is below:

I feel sorry for Skogg. He was a crazy kid who did terrible things, but he seems to have turned his life around. He should have told the truth sooner, but I can understand if the moment didn't seem to present itself.
The present kerfuffle? Skogg's idiotic lie, or a "genuine" ex-Seal on a mission to expose idiotic liars? I'm honestly not sure which is worse. |

Clearly I'm conflicted about the situation.
