"While deployed in Operation Iraqi Freedom Brandon taught combatives to US Navy Seals, Special Forces, Army Rangers, Infantry, Cavalry and Marine Infantry." - from his site I guess.
"Brandon,
My name is TFG, and I am retired Special Forces LTC. It has come to our attention that you have made claims of being Special Forces Qualified, yet despite our research can find no record of you ever having attended the school. While our research shows a great deal of contraversy over your martial arts qualifications, we are unconcerned with these claims and only ask that you: 1, Produce a DD-214 or orders awarding you the 18C mos / qualification, 2, come to our forum (Not a martial arts forum, but a forum for Special Operations folks of all flavors), join the forum and apologize. If either course of action is elected we will part ways and never hear from one another again. If not, we will continue to collect information on your claims and submit this information to the appropriate US Attorney for prosecution under the Stolen Valor Act. Once you have rectified this situation, I will be glad to post on your MMA forum that you have made the claim, but have rectified the situation and we are glad that you have resolved the situation. Please feel free to contact me at [email protected]"

The unfortunate thing about forums is it is soley used for gossip, drama and occationally people just truely talking. The people who have attacked me on the internet have twisted my statements and even gone as far as posting pics of my family and making horrific remarks. Mma.tv is completely biased and even has a moderator deleting posts by myself and others making me look even worse. Unfortunately, a guy took a picture of a post, a single post I made and not the entire conversation...very deceiving. Anyhow, we were speaking of schools that I went to when I was in the Army in that conversation and places I had been. I did go to SF selection and aimed for SF engineer. This did not work out and shortly after my unit deployed to OIF 1. I do apologize for the statement and especially that the drama on a jiu jitsu forum spilled over into military matters. I too have buried friends while serving and do not wish to cause discredit to any unit of our armed forces. Once again I do apologize. On another note, I deleted your profile because I did not want any problems from some wierdo from a forum but I checked you out and therefore I am responding to you.
Happy Holidays
