What does Michael Yon have against soldiers with PTS?
Yeah, usually I let TSO take on Michael Yon, but since he’s dodging Taliban rockets between bouts of complaining about being tired, I guess it’s up to me today. Claymore and JM sent us this screenshot of CJ Grisham obviously screwing around since the caption of the photo mentions the Zombie Apocalypse. But Yon uses the photo to “prove” (like the LA Times proves shit) that CJ is a nut suffering from PTS, a condition which has never affected Yon or he wouldn’t be demeaning every person in the military who has PTS;
So my question to Michael Yon (which I have to ask on my blog, since I can’t ask him on his Facebook page since he blocked me) WTF do you have against military members who are suffering from PTS? He must understand that if he truly thinks that CJ has problems, this isn’t the way to help him. So, Michael, why do you hate veterans? You festering butt nugget (I channeled my inner-TSO for that).
And if you missed it, the other day before TSO left on his embed, Yon tried to accuse him of misusing Soldiers’ Angel funds because TSO let the airlines bump him from his flight so two little old ladies could fly together (or something) and the airline upgraded his seat to 1st Class the next day for the inconvenience that TSO had suffered as a result. I think Yon was a little bit jealous that TSO could get into Afghanistan and Yon could not.
But in the screen shot above, Yon claims that CJ was stalking him – impossible, since they were thousands of miles apart, unless CJ has some of those remote viewers that Spooky 8 used in his book. Besides, I know for a fact that if anyone is stalking anyone, it’s Yon. He’s been trying to learn the identity and location of our buddy War On Terror News for at least two years.
If Yon wants to stalk someone, he can stalk me for a change. I’m not as hard. If you go to Google Maps and search for “This Ain’t Hell Corporate Headquarters, Bar and Grill” it’ll show right on the map where I am – well, not exactly, but if you follow the directions you’ll end up between my aiming stakes.

I can ask, if you want. He hasn’t blocked me yet. 😀
Why don’t you post a recent picture of Yawn, who himself is the last line of defense for the zombie apocalypse….he’ll eat them all.
Here’s what I posted:
Nicki Fellenzer Let’s get this straight. You’re using an obvious joke shot (reference to zombie apocalypse at the bottom of the photo) to substantiate your claims about him stalking/harrassing you. The legal definition of a stalker iis as follows:
A person who intentionally and repeatedly follows or harasses another person and who makes a credible threat, either expressed or implied, with the intent to place that person in reasonable fear of death or serious bodily harm is guilty of the crime of stalking. A person may be charged with aggravated stalking if they commit the crime of stalking while subject to a temporary restraining order, injunction against trespass, or similar order.
Do you have any evidence to substantiate your claim that this guy followed you or harassed you or made a credible threat to your safety or life?
And finally, do you think it’s decent or moral to use a joke photo to impugn someone with post-traumatic stress in such a manner?
These are all honest and sincere questions, sir. I’d like a reply.
Any bets on how long this remains on his FB page?
Always wanted one of those funny pistol bayonets for no good reason.
Also, considering he seems obsessed with finding pics and comments made by CJ, when does that cross over the line of Yon stalking CJ?
And a follow-up after reading all the comments:
And by the way, since you’re also implying that Grisham didn’t deserve his Bronze Star with this particular statement, “he got his Bronze Star for action the same day (different place) that Jessica Lynch got hers. (She was honest and said she didn’t deserve it, which earned her respect.) There was a note from an officer the other day saying the Army had handed out about 150,000 bronze stars since 2003. I don’t know the truth of the figures, but it’s a lot, and then of course there is the V confusion,” would you please explain where you’re getting the evidence for this insinuation?
Better yet, check the date on that twitter photo. Jun 25. The fat fuck had to dig DEEP to pull that one out.
Yeah… Nicki that won’t last long, lol. In addition to being a “festering butt nugget”, Yon is also the King of Deleting Negative or Questioning Comments.
@5: IMO, it corsses the line when Yon does shit like try to insinuate that C.J. was the shooter in the SSG Bales incident. I was a huge Yon fan until his writing went batshit nuts and started inserting slimey insinuations about people he has grudges against into everything he writes. And his behavior on FB is pretty douchey also. Say anything he doesn’t like and you get banned. Not to mention hate email from some of his more rabid supporters. (I had a MAJ at my last duty station actually come over to complain to my commander. And Yons probably pissed becuase TSO didn’t have to book a double seat for his flight like Yon does.
PPR has a pretty good thread going in support of C.J. at https://www.facebook.com/?ref=logo#!/Powerpointranger/posts/388331271190316
And thanks for the hattip!
I normally avoid anything about or from Yon, but his spewing about C.J. is beyond the pale.
Nicki has nailed down the facts quite well so I’ll just thank her and move on. Other comments on his FB page seem to suggest that his fawning followers are growing suspicious as well.
One there (also) noted that the caption under the ominous photo refers to zombies and asked if Yon considered HIMSELF a zombie?
He doesn’t have to dig for SFA; he has his yawnbots sending him crap constantly. It’s sad and scary enough that Yawn is as ridiculously retarded and evil as he is, but scarier still that there are people stupid enough to buy into his shit.
@10 – I saw that comment asking if Yon considered himself a Zombie! I LOLd. A lot!
And thank you. I posted the initial one more than 1/2 hour ago, and the second one about 20 minutes ago. They’re still up.
He must be busy haggling with a Thai hooker over the prices she charges for a rim job.
🙂
Yon is afraid Spillars is going to kill him? Really? That’s ironic. I am pretty sure of the two of them, only one has ever killed someone in a fight. Right, Mike?
WTF happened to Yon? When exactly did he fall off the deep end?
I waded back into the comments, and I gotta be honest, I’m gratified that the bulk of them are tearing Yon a third asshole for posting a joke picture and then talking CJ down for PTS.
Clay – except for some douchebag “mediator” who claims Yawn is a victim, and us bashing him for doing this is why victims don’t come forward.
FAIL!
Mediator…isn’t that just another name for douchenozzle?
Well….
Nicki — I’m lovin you more every day!! 1) if that was June 25th, wasn’t CJ still stateside then? 2) Yawn doesn’t negotiate with female hookers — he intimidates little boys over there. And if you want to know some really good stuff — go talk to Chris Carbone. He’s now home in NJ being a cop, but he was the Civil Affairs Captain that Yon said attacked him when Yon was going after Chris’s NCO. Matter of fact, Yon is lucky — he pushed Chris first and with all that Chris knows about how to take someone down, I’m surprised there aren’t photos of someone with yon’s arm draped over their shoulder!
Wasn’t Yon a SF type? If he’s whining like a little bitch about CJ “stalking” him, he must have turned in to quite the wuss.
Valerie, thanks! From a photographer’s perspective, I like Yon’s work. I think he’s a talented photographer. But he jumped the shark long ago with his drama queen antics. I don’t care how talented he is. He’s a fuggin’ tool. I think he’s got serious narcissism issues.
@old trooper…yes…but don’t hold that against us. He was only with us a short time. I have heard various rumors a bar fight was the reason.
Don (@22): story I read (secondhand) – which Yon allegedly tells in one of his books, so take it for what it’s worth – is that he got into a bar fight and slugged a guy. If I recall, time frame was early 80s. The guy fell, hit his head on something, and died. Either no charges were filed or they were later dropped. Whether that’s 100% true, or whether that’s why Yon left SF, I don’t know.
Hondo…check out post 13.
It’s weird as Yon is the only one of the two whos actually murdered a man for no reason, yet he feels threatened.
Don: that’s the incident I was referencing in my last comment above. As I recall, according to the secondhand account I read (I’ve never read one of Yon’s books) the fight happened in an Ocean City, MD, bar. The guy Yon reputedly slugged fell, hit his head, and died. According to Wikipedia apparently charges were filed but were later dropped. That’s from Wikipedia, so caveat emptor. I personally have neither the time nor inclination to research more extensively to verify the details.
And for all those here who think Yon is a talented photographer,,,,,,,,
HE’S NOT A TALENTED PHOTOGRAPHER, HE’S A RANK OPPORTUNIST!!!!
Seriously folks, my kids are better photographers than Yawn.
Give even the Devil his due, Jacobite. Yon’s a very good photographer. If you’re kids are as good, they might well have a future in the field.
I think Yon lives for this type of drama. He seems to have a fascination with CJ…..let it go, dude…..seriously.
There is no excuse nor logical explaination for Yon’s antics, except that perhaps he craves attention and the paypal donations that he expects to come with hits to his page.
Hondo is right. I was Army public affairs and did a shitload of photography. Yon is good. Too bad he’s a drooling, quivering, melodramatic, histrionic sack of porcupine droppings.
Oh. BTW – he deleted all my comments, and banned me from commenting. Cowardly cockwart.
Oh well, I’m in good company.
I wonder why it took so long to ban me. Apparently, the fight with the hooker took longer than initially anticipated. $5 doesn’t grow on trees, you know!
No Nicki, Hondo, I’m a semi-pro photographer myself, Yawn really is NOT that good. He built his rep on the back of one really lucky shot, his portfolio barely ranks as talented amateur. The University’s here are stuffed with kids who smoke my ability, let alone his, and I have professional photographer friends who would look at his work, shrug and say, “Yon who?”
I learned from a combination of desire, school, and my dad. My dad was mentored by a frequent freelance contributor to the Times and other major publications, a well known photojournalist with over 50 years in the industry, who has since passed on. I know good photography when I see it, it’s not just an interest, it’s a passion. Yon doesn’t impress me.
Photography is a really mis-understood industry, talent is NOT any kind of guarantee of a job. For every successful photographer out there, there are about 100 or more that are better, but don’t have either the desire to duke it out in a really dog eat dog business (me), don’t have an ‘angle’ such as Yawn found for himself, or are unable to find patronage to give them a leg up till they’re noticed/established.
Nicki, he hadn’t previously known you were a “crazy spider monkey” as he calls PAO’s.
How his followers don’t see him for what he has become is beyond me. Noticed Yon is auctioning cameras and tech stuff on ebay, suspect he is in need of $$$.
Radar, of course he needs the money! Hookers aren’t cheap.
Jacobite, I disagree. I’ve seen some very quality photos from him. As a photographer, you know that we take a LOT of photos to get that one good shot. At least I do. If I’m lucky, maybe 10 percent of the photos I take on any given shoot are worth a damn. Ultimately, this is an opinion thing, and we’ll have to agree to disagree on his talent. I do like his work, but that doesn’t make him any less of a festering yambag.
WOTN – I’m proud to be a “crazy spider monkey!” Beats being a washed up coward with a quivering lip and delusions of grandeur.
