Good fun, bad survival, nice guys, fake Colonel

I enjoyed the camaraderie of the show very much,  but the survival was not truthful and the entire show  was so produced that none of the scenarios were remotely possible.

But mainly, I was really put off by the Fake Colonel Moore Character. Being a survivalist, veteran and host myself, I like to do my due diligence.

I found Moore had put himself in to be a "Kentucky Colonel" back when you could "self-submit". Their rules clearly say it is fraudulent to hold the rank out as real.

Yet, Thomas more, uses the rank to fool folks into donating money to fund his trips abroad to other countries known for unsavory practices.

I did a FOIA (Freedom Of Information Act) request on Moore and his actual military record was far from stellar,  and explains why he misleads with his 'honorary' rank.

Moore served a few years on active duty on the 70's and he tried out for Special Forces and failed.

He quit the military then joined the reserves a decade later for a few years in the 80's and again, he quit and left for a decade.

Then after failing in civilian world again, Moore joined the Guard. Again he served only a few years, then quit and his record shows he did attend a few schools, but never anything elite or survival.

The most concerning fact is that he never obtained a rank higher than Specialist, and that he did something bad that warranted them to reduce his rank, usually, as the result of a court martial.

The bottom line is that Thomas Moore has a very checkered and inglorious past, and he managed to dupe KY into an honorary title which he has subsequently used to sell books and solicit funds, for what appears to be, less than honorable activities in under developed nations.

Five survival experts and friends send each other to harsh environments with only 100 hours to find civilization - and they have no idea when they're going to be taken there.
