Ebay yearbook scam
Actually, this is pretty hilarious. Some dude was selling a Fort Jackson yearbook from 1994 on Ebay. In the back of the yearbook is a scrawled missive about the “75th Battalion, Ranger Division, Omega Team” which was apparently wiped out by the CIA and their biological warfare (against our own troops, mind you). And apparently […]
Another poser gun dealer
I don’t know why these guys think what they’ve done isn’t good enough to sell firearms. This one came to us from a reader of Blackfive who sent the story of a guy he met at a gun show; He was decked out in multicam, with an “infidel” and “sniper” tab, he also had a […]
The wayback machine
Today Real Clear Politics’ Morning Edition very slyly ran an Airpower article from 1972 titled The Press and the TET Offensive: a flawed institution under stress. The Tet offensive of 1968 must surely be regarded as one of history’s chameleon campaigns. When the North Vietnamese and Vietcong troops assaulted targets throughout the Republic of Vietnam […]
Requesting military records

In that conflict an increasingly unpopular military junta, facing growing economic problems, looked to invade […]

Vietnam Draft Dodger opens his idiotic yap
By now everyone has likely heard about Bruins goalie Tim Thomas declining to go to the white house because he disapproves of Obama. Frankly, I would have just gone, only because he was representing the Bruins, but whatevs. Then this assmonkey decided to open his piehole: Look, if this cretin wants to stand outside the […]
Active duty phony
Kevin sent us a link to a Stars & Stripes article about a Vietnam veteran serving in Afghanistan, the title was “Vietnam vet joins ‘today’s war’” and it tells the story of Staff Sergeant Larry Marquez who says he was sent to Cambodia in 1973 as a raw recruit of 17 years. He compares the […]
