Bill Bradford surfaces

William Bradford "disappeared" for a while after he resigned as an associate prof from the IUPUI Law School in December, 2006, in the wake of being exposed as a faux Army hero......

Here's the story from the University of Florida's Warrington School of Bizness:  http://www.cba.ufl.edu/docs/deansreport.pdf

Scroll down to Page 17 or Bradford's grinning face, whichever comes first.

Actually, this is one move that makes sense for Bradford. He should be right at home.

----------------------------------------------------

Robert Braff, Madison Ohio, has been impersonating a colonel in the Ohio Army National Guard. Braff has been photographed and videotaped in an Army Combat Uniform (ACU), with the markings of the Ohio National Guard.  Braff has never served in the Armed Forces, nor the Ohio National Guard. He has been wearing the military uniform for the purpose of promoting his martial arts business. He has been recorded handing out martial arts certificates and doing training demonstrations while in military uniform, complete with dog tags.  He is clearly trying to defraud his martial arts students and convince them that he has a more experienced background , than he really does.  Braff was a corporal in the Ohio Military Reserve, a State Defense Force. There are reports that Braff has also lied at times about his rank and position with the Ohio Military Reserve. The Ohio Military Reserve has never used ACUs as a uniform.

Bullshido, a martial arts website, has done an extensive investigation which resulted in Braff being exposed as a phony. The National Personnel Records Center, the Ohio National Guard and the Ohio Military Reserve were all contacted and could provided no valid reason for Braff to be wearing the military uniform of the Ohio National Guard, let alone with the rank of Colonel. The results of the investigation can be found at:  http://www.bullshido.org/Robert_Braff. Braff runs the International San-Ryu-Do Federation Sahara School of Martial Arts of Madison, Ohio. Braff is not the first martial arts "expert" to add to military credentials to his resume in hopes of growing a larger business. He is simply following in the shoes of imposters like British martial arts "expert" James Shortt, who falsely claims SAS experience, and has been recorded wearing unearned medals, one of which was  originally awarded for military service in World War I.

Investigation into other areas of Robert Braff's life has led to questions about his doctorate degree. Braff has claimed that in 2002  he earned a PhD in Asian Studies from Canterbury University (Cheshire, United Kingdom). Canterbury University is a known diploma mill, where "degrees", are granted in exchange for payment, and no real study is required. There are many documented cases of people who used a Canterbury University "degree" being fired and made to pay back any money they may have gained through use of the "degree". So there really is no "Dr. Braff", much like there is no "Colonel Braff", just a man with an active and devious imagination.

Bragg,  Terry L. 12/2006

08/2009

Ohio Bragg heads local American Legion Post 24 honor guard for funerals and is in charge of folding and presenting the flag to the family of deceased veterans.

One of Bragg's jobs is to decide who DOES and DOES NOT receive a military honors funeral.

Full military honors HAVE reportedly been given for the death of  a man with only 2 years ROTC - with NO military time. Decision based on "friendship" and not eligibility!?

He claims he served in Vietnam. 

2009 - Once again claiming Vietnam Veteran to benefit from Recognition by the city at their annual veterans event.

Served August 12 1955 until August 12 1961 in the USMC Reserve. Discharged as Private First Class. NPRC notes "No Active Duty other than for training purposes."

The record clarifies Bragg's 6 year term of service in the USMCR but ONLY the final 6 months of the enlistment (2/28/61 - 8/12/61) fall during American Legion eligibility requirements and the document states NO ACTIVE DUTY OTHER THAN FOR TRAINING PURPOSES.." Unless Bragg can show PROOF of any other ACDUTRA on or after 02/28/61 - he is INELIGIBLE for membership in the American Legion! He  IS Eligible for SONS of the LEGION.

R.L. Brendle -- 1928-2003

Master Sgt. R.L. Brendle, 75, of Cheyenne, died Dec. 19 at home with his family present.
He was an Honored 32nd Degree Scottish Rite Freemason.
Born in Franklin, N.C., in the Smoky Mountains, Brendle's father passed away when he was 15. So he left home to go to Atlanta to draw cartoons for the newspaper, having only onion sandwiches to eat. Later, he joined the Merchant Marines and served proudly in World War II, receiving the World War II Victory Medal and the Medal of Valor, among many others.
R.L. loved the military and enlisted in the Army Air Corp at Fort Bragg, N.C., on Feb. 5, 1946. He did basic training in San Antonio and then was assigned to Randolph Air Field, Texas. He transferred to Lowery Airfield Colorado for Weapons Repair School, then to Camp Stoneman California for Navigation School....
On June 9, 1967, he went to Kunsan AB, Korea, in the 6175th Civil Engineer Squadron and received military honors, including the Medal of Honor while in Korea.
After returning from Korea, he went to the 90th Communication Squadron at F.E. Warren Air Force Base...

An American is hoping the Newfoundland public will help in recovering his stolen SUV. Thomas Brewer of Connecticut is a retired Navy Seal, Vietnam war vet and calls this province his second home..... He says there is also a United States Navy Seal Team 1 sticker with Thomas Joseph Brewer on it in the back window.....

 

....I greatly appreciate your interest in upholding the honor of the US Navy SEAL Teams, and your search for the TRUTH. Before answering your questions I must make clear that I am a private individual, not affiliated with the US Dept. of Defense or any other government organization. My efforts to expose SEAL imposters are performed as a service to the public, and in honor of my fallen SEAL Teammates… men who truly earned the right to the title “US NAVY SEAL” but who are no longer able to stand forward in defense of their honor, their reputations, and their TEAMs.

If the name you provided is spelled correctly, I do NOT find a listing in the SEAL Database (SEAL Teams and predecessor units from1943 to the Present Day) for anyone named THOMAS JOSEPH BREWER. I have also examined possible alternate spellings, and names with similar pronunciations without finding any that appear to be applicable.

Unless he has undertaken the unlikely action of a legal name change (an action for which there would be evidence in the form of court documentation) since his claimed participation in SEAL training, and based upon the information you have provided, I can state conclusively that THOMAS JOSEPH BREWER has NEVER COMPLETED SEAL training, and he is not now, nor was he ever a Navy SEAL, a Navy UDT “Frogman”, a member of any Naval Combat Demolition Unit (NCDU), or a member of the Naval Amphibious Scouts & Raiders (S&R). ......

Written to a Navy SEAL from Brockbrader... "Your adorable. You get that we kind of had our own thing going at BUDS. See we had to smart then we got turned into SEAL. You can't look me up cause it was a top secret program. I know that it must be hard to imagine that they don't telling you everything just cause your SEAL. You were a regular SEAL and did regular SEAL stuff. We were on a com...pletely different level.

Besides...use you brain. Do you think they actually skip SEAL 6 and 9. oh wait. now its just 9 that doesnt exist and SEAL 6 is just fucking dead. 20 team members in one helo? That should tell you something about how disposable you. Help yourself. lose the anger. help your country. Besides. Im a total passive. Couldn't hurt a fly. I've seen enough death thank you very much."

Don Shipley | ex Navy Seal about Bill Wood's claim of being a Navy Seal, January 29, 2012

 

 

Sir,

I greatly appreciate your interest in upholding the honor of the US Navy SEAL Teams, and your search for the TRUTH. Before answering your questions I must make clear that I am a private individual, not affiliated with the US Dept. of Defense or any other government organization. My efforts to expose SEAL imposters are performed as a service to the public, and in honor of my fallen SEAL Teammates… men who truly earned the right to the title “US NAVY SEAL” but who are no longer able to stand forward in defense of their honor, their reputations, and their TEAMs.

 

If the name you provided is spelled correctly, I do NOT find a listing in the SEAL Database (SEAL Teams and predecessor units from 1943 to the Present Day) for anyone named WILLIAM NEWEL BROCKBRADER AKA BILL WOOD AKA BILL BROCK. I have also examined possible alternate spellings, and names with similar pronunciations without finding any that appear to be applicable.

 

Unless he has undertaken the unlikely action of a legal name change (an action for which there would be evidence in the form of court documentation) since his claimed participation in SEAL training, and based upon the information you have provided, I can state conclusively that WILLIAM NEWEL BROCKBRADER has NEVER COMPLETED SEAL training, and he is not now, nor was he ever a Navy SEAL, a Navy UDT “Frogman”, a member of any Naval Combat Demolition Unit (NCDU), or a member of the Naval Amphibious Scouts & Raiders (S&R).

 

Many SEAL imposters when confronted with the information I have provided will resort to claiming that their records are sealed, burned or their SEAL Operations were Classified and that there are no official records of them.

Before any classified operations may be undertaken as a SEAL Operator, a man must first successfully complete the Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) Training program and then the follow-on secondary training program. The names of all those who successfully graduate from that training program sequence are compiled in the SEAL database. Later participation in classified operations has "no impact" on whether or not a person is listed as a graduate of the training program.

 

There are records of every man who has qualified for the title of “SEAL”; there have been and will continue to be secret missions, but there are NO secret SEALs.

 

Once again I must stress that although I am a US Navy veteran, and a former SEAL, I am a civilian performing in an entirely unofficial role. I recommend that you obtain a formal/official US NAVY statement regarding Mr. WILLIAM NEWEL BROCKBRADER's claimed SEAL credentials. To do so you may contact the PUBLIC AFFAIRS OFFICE at the NAVAL SPECIAL WARFARE COMMAND in San Diego by calling (619) 522-2822, or you may contact the FOIA COORDINATOR at the NAVAL SPECIAL WARFARE COMMAND in San Diego, California, and submit a formal FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT inquiry in writing addressed to:

 

Commander

Naval Special Warfare Command

FOIA Coordinator

2000 Trident Way

San Diego, CA 92155

 

Thank you again for your concern in this matter, and for your assistance in upholding the honor of the US Navy SEAL Teams. If I can be of any further assistance to you in this matter, please contact me at your convenience.

 

Respectfully,  Don Shipley BUD/S 131, SEAL Team ONE, SEAL Team TWO.

William N. Brockbrader joined the Navy in June 1991, and was discharged in June 2001.

He was assigned to a PRECOM “Arleigh Burke” Class Destroyer in San Diego… which was then reassigned to Yokosuka. It began deployments in late 1992.

In April/May 1995, while in San Diego, Brockbrader engaged in sex with a minor, and he went to a General Court Martial for rape in April/May 1997. He pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of “Unlawful Carnal Knowledge of a Minor”. IAW military regulations, Carnal Knowledge of a Minor who, at the time of the offense, has attained the age of 12 years, is punishable by Dishonorable Discharge, Forfeiture of all Pay and Allowances, and Confinement for up to 20 years.

Brockbrader spent THREE years in Leavenworth Prison in Kansas; the last six months was spent in the Psychological Ward. He was dishonorably discharged in June 2001.

He has returned to Salt Lake City, Utah and worked in construction, and at a medical laser firm. He’s a registered sex offender.

Brockbrader never went to BUD/S, was never a SEAL (he’s not listed in the SEAL database)

Brockbrader was found guilty of having sex with a minor child, he did time in Leavenworth, he was subsequently dishonorably discharged, and he is a registered sex offender.

By Ja’Rena Lunsford

6:19 a.m. Nearly three hours have passed since I woke up, panicking, second guessing everything I’ve ever been told by a source. Second guessing my judgment of character and second guessing myself as a journalist......

-------

.....Troy passed away on November 11. In the above, you simply state that he was not Col B. You did not make known his true service record or rank. He was given military honors and I am told that his marker will reflect the rank of Colonel unless other documentation provers other wise.......

http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=61647106

The area has a "Wall of Honor" where Veterans are encouraged to post a short biography of there service and a photo. Brodrick has three photos posted.  One shows him in full Air Force officer dress uniform complete with full col. rank insignia. Also present is the U.S. Army CIB. The next one (in full dress uniform) is taken with a Oklahoma National Guard Major General at the 45th Infantry Museum during a Veteran's Day ceremony.

1.  No official Purple Heart awarded
2.  No PTSD rating because she is a woman
3.  several other issues I've already forgotten;
 
States she was wounded Feb 22, 2002 ( Night Styker 101 Airborne}
She first stated she was 10 % then later in the conversation she stated she was 40% so things were not adding up.  

She stated how she was wounded in an ambush, how others were wounded, showed us the "scars on her left leg just below the knee", She bashed the V.A. for not helping her because she was a woman.

Singer Credits Rehab With His Recovery

By BOB CAMPBELL
Staff Writer

================================================================================

2001 - About three or four years back, we ran into Brer  Brown at a truck stop [where he had a knife sharpening booth] ....
 
We saw the booth [with a POW/MIA sticker on its side] upon entering the facility, but it was 'un-manned'. Asking a nearby shop owner about the booth and she told us that it was owned/operated by Clint Brown, a Vietnam Veteran, Medal of Honor "Winner", multiple 'combat wounds'...etc, etc...
 
After eating breakfast, we found Brer Brown @ his booth and he gave us his "whole story". He did, in fact, have several "heavy duty" scars...which he "displayed" w/out prompting...actual cause(s), not identifiable.  After our departure, we both agreed that Brer  Brown sounded "as phony as a three dollar bill"...
 
I had gotten a phone number and address from him, while talking w/him @ his knife sharpening booth. I managed to reach him, by phone, one time...then, he seemed to 'drop off the face of the earth' -- perhaps because I had asked that he "help me with confirming his MoH"...'cuz I couldn't find him "listed" anywhere.

Please put this to any list you are on or to your email list. This person needs to be stopped
 
Diane recieved an email from Mike Anderson Brown leomicha ...@yahoo.co.uk, saying that he has a cousin that  knew her dad. All he wanted was $2000 for the info. I have turned him in to the proper authorities.
When I asked specific questions, many with misinformation, he was unable to give me the correct info for days. Even after he gave me what he thought was the right info. Example the other 7 men with Diane's dad (only 3). the Chinook that flew them to the incountry R&R center in I Corp. He said it was a USMC Heavy Helicopter Company (they flew on a Huey to Vung Tau).
Please becareful if he contacts you.
The followinig is from the Vietnam Helicopter Assoc about this person.

Subject: [Vhfcn-l] Information scam Flights,
There is a guy with a UK e-mail address who is collecting e-mail addresses from Vietnam War web sites and then offering to help find information for compensation.  Here is an example of what he does: 
 "Attn John P. Joyner, my cousin has information about Kent
Lawson,he knew Kent Lawson and was also a helicopter pilot during
that time in vietnam.I will introduce u to him for detail about
 this,i will give u my cousin's contact.But what will i get as
compensation for offering this help?

 Mike Anderson Brown leomicha ...@yahoo.co.uk"   These are most often  sent to next of kin which are really repulsive to me.  I think it is  time we bombard Mr. Brown with a bunch of Vietnam veteran e-mails  expressing our displeasure with his tactics.  His address is
 leomicha ...@yahoo.co.uk

POW group calls claims of elite Navy service untrue

Comments made in Herald-Banner interview scrutinized by former military servicemen

Leslie Gibson
Rockwall County Herald-Banner

A veterans group contacting the Herald-Banner says that not everyone at a ceremony on Memorial Day at Rest Haven Funeral Home in Rockwall was who they claimed to be.

Michael Brown and Russ Leflamme said they were veterans of the Navy SEALS. Brown added that he had received the Navy Cross, two Purple Hearts and other awards. Leflamme said he also was in the Air Force for 10 years.....

The SEAL Database contains 66 men with the last name BROWN. Only ONE (1) has the first name MICHAEL and that one man graduated from training in May 1988 – obviously not a Vietnam era veteran. Only ONE (1) has the middle name MICHAEL and that man graduated from training in February 2000 – also obviously not a Vietnam era veteran. ....
The SEAL Database does NOT contain any listings for anyone with the last name LAFLAMME or anything even remotely similar in spelling or pronunciation. In fact there are only two entries in the entirety of the Database for last names beginning with the alphabetic characters LAF..... sr

BROWN, MICHAEL RAY 08/2011 KS

HI

Claims he was a Navy SEAL while living in Hawaii.

HE WAS SENT TO PRISON. Brown still uses this claim as part of his con to  convince women he is honorable. He served over 8 years in prison for violent crimes against 2 women, one in Colorado and his wife and their children in the state of Hawaii.  He has now been paroled back to Topeka Ks where he is using the same tactics to create more victims.
He even claims it is PTSD from his special services experience that made him the violent man he is.
