Another web-site going to in depth detail over his claims and Embellishments
Author and TV Personality, David Rountree, Accused of Stolen Valor and Academic Embellishment
[…] Scotty sends his work on the David Rountree fellow. I guess he’s a ghostbusting hero on cable TV’s Destination America channel. But, he claims that he was a VC-killing Air Force Special Forces Captain in the final days of the Vietnam War; […]
Really the Mayaguez? For Security Police this is one we know by heart. If he was or had anything to do with the Mayaguez he would be crowing loudly about 56th Security Police Squadron and being in Thailand.
Actually there is more than one Special Forces unless you wish to quibble about the exactness of the name. But yes, the Army has the most.

Ben – The title, “Special Forces” has a very specific meaning and applies ONLY to the U.S. Army Special Forces or “Green Berets” as they are commonly known. The other organizations you list are not Special Forces, but they are members of the “Special Operations” community. Civilians commonly confuse the two terms/titles but if you mention “Special Forces” to a military person they will know you are referring to the U.S. Army Special Forces.
First of all he is out of uniform. Goatee’s and/or Fu Manchu’s are not authorized to be worn while in Class A Uniform, even for retirees/veterans. All services require that active duty appearance standards be maintained by all who wear the uniform. Secondly, there are no Air Force “Special Forces”. Only the U.S. Army has Special Forces. The Air Force does have SOF units, we called them “Air Commando’s” in Viet Nam in 65/66.

Yes, he’s a definitely a POS. Maybe the New Jersey authorities should start looking into this guy
The “worst paranormal” site allows comments on articles. I posted links to here and TAH. Roundtree is a bag of shit who needs to be flushed.

Air Force Special Forces, eh? There is only one, ONE US Special Forces and it is the US Army. Period.
