"Real Black Ops" Author Outed as a Fraud

'eh. He's a pretty good Walt, I'll admit, but he's no Baron Shortt [http://www.arrse.co.uk/wiki/The_Baron_of_Castleshort]!

wait since when does the United States Military EVER declassifies a Black Ops? <.<

I know some real black ops veterans, they are not to old and around 40 when they quit. From what I can tell the US was sending these teams in to do some pretty (internationally)illegal stuff in the late 1980s and early 90s in Central and South America.

I in the camp that is is making crap up, but it could be quite possible his service is being covered up.

 

[Kukakkau]

Um of course?

If a real black ops operative wrote about what they did they would be assassinated most likely.

There's a reason that stuff is blacked out in records...

I'd be surprised if anyone actually does still believe Wolfgang, but then again some people will believe anything these days.

Probably the same people that think the crap that goes on in the Call of Duty franchise is real.

You know, everyone keeps pointing out the author's name as an immediate BS detector, and that's rubbish. It's the title of his book thats a dead give away for his BS. 'Beyond the Call of Duty: Gunfight!' with the subtitle '10 true stores from modern warfare and black ops', he's trying so desperately to somehow jump on the CoD bandwagon and use the game's brand recognition to his advantage, I wouldn't be surprised if Activision sues his sorry ass...

Well, the really important question is, is the book any good? ^_^

 

[Bretty]

And to think people bought this as real. Sad.

Props to the guys on PS.com for bagging this douche.

 

[Animyr]

Gee, never saw that coming.

I'm serious-I hadn't even heard about this guy until just now.

 

[The3rdEye]

Wait a second... I know this guy!

Kids, when a story seems too amazing to be true... Besides, I doubt anyone who has been through multiple armed conflicts has any interest in having those memories themselves, much less sharing them with the public at large.
