Sutter Says:
That he was a Navy Seal ("26 years in the USN CT ops"). He has also used the Navy Seal logo on
his website.
Sutter's profile on the Navy Seals forum - created in 2004 - can still be seen as well. (source)
Below is an archive of the web page on which Sutter used to post pictures of "himself" in combat gear.
The Truth:
According to the Navy Sutter never served as a Seal.
(The pictures that he posted are actually of GI Joe
dolls).
