Jesse Ventura was a SEAL back before they were even known as SEAL's, they were called UDT (Underwater Demolition Team) when he served.
And as off the wall as his is, I'd still rather have him in congress than Gomez.
His Howard Stern appearances were great!
What we are sick of is not that he is a SEAL, we are sick of his (and others) using it as a constant logical fallacy of "appeal to authority". He may be able to shoot upside down 800 yards while flying a plane better than I can shoot at point blank range, and fight ten people while I run away from beagles, but this does not allow him to decide when I can exercise my rights. I am the expert on my rights.

The Navy needed to determine its role within the special operations arena. In March 1961, Arleigh Burke, Chief of Naval Operations, recommended the establishment of guerrilla and counter-guerrilla units. These units would be able to operate from sea, air or land. This was the beginning of the Navy SEALs. All SEALs came from the Navy's Underwater Demolition Teams, who had already gained extensive experience in commando warfare in Korea; however, the Underwater Demolition Teams were still necessary to the Navy's amphibious force.

The first two teams were formed in January 1962 and stationed on both US coasts: Team One at Naval Amphibious Base Coronado, in San Diego, California and Team Two at Naval Amphibious Base Little Creek, in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Men of the newly formed SEAL Teams were trained in such unconventional areas as...
Gomez IS a douche. Being a SEAL in the past doesn't make him less or a douchebag in 2014
Actually he was 11 years old when the first SEAL teams were formed... His DOB is July 15th 1951

From September 11, 1969, to September 10, 1975, during the Vietnam War era, Ventura served in the United States Navy.
Ventura graduated with BUD/S class 58 in December 1970 and was part of Underwater Demolition Team 12 (UDT).
The UDTs were merged with the US Navy SEALs in 1983, 8 years after Ventura had left the Navy.
He was probably a buddy-****ing douchebag back when he was a SEAL, too.
someone has to be the lube man.
When you're right, you're right.
I haven't opened the link but I don't think my opinion of Gomez could get any lower.Even bigger douche than he was so far.
Naval Academy classmate David Buckley says Gomez ended up flying radar planes off carriers.
“They’re kind of the biggest target because they have a large radar emitter on top of the plane, so anybody that’s interested in not being seen would want to take them out,” Buckley said.
Gomez also flew cargo planes off carriers. That was when Paul Villagomez met him. The two men were among the only three Latino pilots in the Navy.
“We were like a corporate airplane flying VIPs and dignitaries and staff and parts, high-priority parts to the carriers, normal staff rotations, personnel that needed to come off the ship in an emergency — like for emergency leave, they had a death in the family,” Villagomez recalled. “You flew the mail, also. We were the mailmen. Some of us had on our flight suits a little U.S. Mail patch because we were considered the mail guys, and the carrier guys loved us because we brought the mail. They would always ask, ‘How much mail do you have?’ while we were circling to land.”
After four years of flying, Gomez entered SEAL training.
Hey c'mon guys, lighten up, the man was a SEAL, you know.
I haven't opened the link but I don't think my opinion of Gomez could get any lower.
Did you know he was a navy seal!
Yes X 1,000,000 he was a SEAL.
Google Don Shipley he outs many of the idiots that are not and going around publicly claiming they are. He has confirmed he is legit. You would have to pretty much live in a box to be dumb enough to go around in a forum so public as running for a US Senate seat and think you could get away with lying about SEAL status. Id also say you have to be pretty uninformed to think its even possible, sorry to be blunt. The SEAL community is very small and its not easy to get away with that kind of shit. Gomez (though a douche politically) fits the outward visual profile of a SEAL to a T. Non assuming; would never know it to look at him type thing. The idiots with all the trident tattoos, bumper stickers, stickers on the shitty harleys their fat asses are sitting on, etc that try to look the part fail miserably. Gomez is more vocal about it than most but he is an officer and also has the military pilot arrogance thing going where the first thing they tell you is how cool they are. I can say that because I am one, lol
I also had an instructor pilot who had flown with him back in his aviation days and knew for sure he did indeed go SEAL. Can't take that away from him.
Wait, so are you saying that he was a seal?

Not every fight is a fair fight, ... Sometimes you face overpowering force. We were massively overspent. We went up against literally the whole national Democratic Party. And all its allies

It took a little searching but I found he flew Greyhounds (cargo, mail, personnel, etc) and Hawkeyes (radar recon).
I was wondering why he didn't plug what kind of aircraft he flew, since he shameless plugged all his other achievements. I guess "mailman" and SEAL (bet you guys didn't know that! ) would send a mixed message on the campaign trail. Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking it, dude landed turboprops on a moving/heaving carrier, respect.
Oh snap! I didn't vote when he ran for senate. But I just saw he had a trident on his jacket. Was he a SEAL? I definitely would have voted if I knew he was in the SEALs.
