Wilfred Henry Belanger AKA Butch Belanger comes to us from Colonia, NJ. Military Phonies became aware of Butch through numerous newspaper articles listing him as a US Navy SEAL Team Commander and CO of SEAL Team Six.
One of Butch’s claims is that he retired from the Navy as a Captain (O-6).
Within Butch’s Facebook profile it lists him as a Former Navy Officer and there are numerous pictures of him wearing a US Navy SEAL hat.
From reading the articles it listed Butch as an Employee for the US Postal Service and was named as a Postmaster. It also lists him as serving the US Navy for 21 years and as a SEAL Team Commander for SEAL TEAM 6.
NICE TRIDENT, Seriously? Wearing it on a suit at work… (3rd an 4th picture below)
ACTIONS CONDUCTED BY MILITARY PHONIES
After contacting the UDT/SEAL archives and checking the UDT/SEAL database we found that there is NO record of Wilfred Henry Belanger ever being or training to become a Navy SEAL.
Wilfred Henry Belanger’s records were requested through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.
We found it hard to believe that a United States Marine, a Legit RECON Marine, a Legit RECON Marine that completed Jump School and the Ranger Course, a Marine that became a Platoon Sergeant of born again hard super Marines would claim to be some kind of Sailor. How could that be? Certainly we must have missed something.
Since the records above confirm Belanger to be a Marine, we thought there was a possibility that he later went into the Navy after being enlisted in the Marines. So, we orders up his records from the United States Navy to see if he decided to swing that way.
No service in the US Navy.
CONCLUSION
Just about the time we think that we have seen it all…there is always so much more. We have no explanation for why a legit RECON Marine would piss all over his EGA and claim he was in the Navy. If becoming a United States Marine, a legit RECON Marine, completing the Army Rangers Course, and serving as a Platoon Sergeant to the best of the best is not enough to be proud of…someone tell us what would be.
In conclusion, Wilfred Belanger’s military records show that he never attended or completed BUD/S and that he was never a Navy SEAL and/or UDT. Butch did serve in the USMC from June 24, 1969 until April 28, 1978 and was discharged as a Sergeant. Butch was not a Naval Officer. Apparently he wasn’t proud that he served in the Marine Corps, he should have been proud enough with his service as it was, now he will always be remembered as a fake. We wonder if the USPS knows of his lies? More importantly, did any misrepresentation on his part play a role in his advancement through the US Postal Service? Veteran’s preference as an officer? The influence of him claiming to be a Navy SEAL?
He has disgraced himself and everything earning an Eagle Globe and Anchor stands for.
