..."Thielmann described the former Navy SEAL as “one of the hardest and most tactically proficient men I have ever met.”
“He only had one uniform,” Thielmann said. “He used duct tape to tape armored plates to his chest and back to go on target until he was given a plate carrier.
“After our SEAL Team Six guy left, he led our team in Crimea, Severodonetsk, and Svyatohirsk, and continued to lead the team after I left.”
Rolling Stone pieced together Swift’s career from a memoir on Amazon, “The Fall of a Man,” apparently published under a pseudonym.
Swift claimed that he served on five combat deployments in the Middle East by the time he was 30. He earned medals, including the Legion of Merit, and later served as a police officer in Washington and Oregon.
By April 2019, a month after being listed as a deserter, Swift was facing a felony bench warrant, charged with false imprisonment relating to a divorce. His warrant is still active, the San Diego County Sherriff’s Department told Rolling Stone."
