Ranger Wannabes:

BRET CAREL

Bret Carel is not a Ranger. He lives in Colorado. Bret Carel has and still claims to be a Ranger from 2nd and 3rd Ranger Battalions, Ranger School as well as some service with 10th SFG. He was exposed in 1998 and again this year January 2001. He owns various Ranger memorabilia including the Black Beret, Ranger Coin and has bamboozled his way into at least one Ranger Association at one time. He has confessed on at least two occasions to being a fraud, yet he continues to lie.

For example:
