ATLANTA — In September 2019, Herschel Walker stood in front of an auditorium of soldiers in combat fatigues at Joint Base Lewis-McChord. The motivational talk was, by now, familiar; Walker traced the obstacles he had overcome, including his struggle with mental health. But more than 30 minutes into the speech, Walker wandered off topic.
"I worked for law enforcement, y'all didn't know that either?" he said. "I spent time at Quantico at the FBI training school. Y'all didn't know I was an agent?"
It wasn't the first time Walker said he was in law enforcement, The Atlanta Journal-Consitution found while reviewing dozens of speeches and motivational talks by Walker that were posted online.
