Now, in interviews, two people who had close interactions with Mr. Sheehy during key moments in the story have come forward, raising new questions about whether the bullet wound had come during his military service.
A former SEAL colleague, Dave Madden, who had what he described as a close relationship with Mr. Sheehy before they deployed to Afghanistan, said that Mr. Sheehy never mentioned a gunshot wound to him, and almost certainly would have done so in a conversation they had during their deployment if he had indeed been wounded.
On the issue of the later injury in Montana, Kim Peach, a park ranger who spoke with Mr. Sheehy that day at the hospital, said Mr. Sheehy personally told him that he had accidentally shot himself in the arm, and handed over a revolver with a spent round.

Anyone wanna guess which party?
From his experience, he said, there would be no reason to cover up a wound in the name of protecting platoon mates because nobody would be investigating the origin of a bullet from a firefight. And in any case, he said, a ricochet during a firefight would be considered a hazard of battle, not a scandal.
From my time in Iraq this is also how I would see it. No one would have asked where the bullet came from. They would have just treated the wound and put him in for a purple heart. And trying to keep a bullet wound secret in a war zone would be next to impossible. Your battle buddies would immediately notice. Also can you imagine trying to keep it uninfected? Good luck with that.
Men were real men back then. They didn’t complain about “bullets” and the libs hadn’t invented “infections” or “COVID” yet.
Back then, you’d just rub a little dirt on it, die, and later run for office to avenge yourself.
AVENGE YOURSELF!!!
\s (if it weren’t obvious)
Didn’t they already debunk this with official records from the military and call him on his bullshit?
Yeah, and he claimed to have covered it up so that it wouldn’t be in his military records. So now they’ve got witnesses to both time periods, one saying he wasn’t shot while in the military, and the other saying that they heard him admit to shooting himself.
Huh weird seeing my tiny state’s politicians in the spotlight like this lol. Tim Sheehy is, as we like to say, “all hat and no cattle”.
No.
The answer is always no
