If Ventura wants to be reaccepted into the SEAL community that has shunned him (bc let's face it, SEALs like CK way more), he should take that $1.8M and give it to Wounded Warriors or right back to CK's widow. I'd regain some respect for him if that happened

It would probably regain him some respect from people, but Jesse's pig-headed enough that he'll wave this judgment in people's faces while also whining about how he's now ostracized from the SEAL community.

IIRC, Jesse has gotten in trouble with that community before by misrepresenting his experiences, mainly in that he claims he was a SEAL instead of a member of the Underwater Demolitions Team.

All SEALs came from the UDT, but not all of the UDT were SEALs.

"All I wanted to do was clear my name, and it has nothing to do with a widow or anything like that," Ventura said on "CBS This Morning" during his first post-trial interview.

I'm wondering which charity he'll donate the $1.8 million to? I always knew he was a great guy.

According to retired Senior Chief Don Shipley a 23 year veteran of the SEAL teams, and phony SEAL exposer, JV along with his brother Jon and anyone else from that era assigned to UDT after BUDs is entitled to refer to themselves as a SEAL.
