Probably just a bunch of pissed off Red Wings fans venting at the fact the Kings won the Stanley Cup last night.

I am posting this at the request of a Ranger vet's family. I was contacted today by the family of a Vietnam era vet named SGT Thomas S. Pease. They state that Pease served in 75th INF, F Co and was put in for a MOH for a mission that occurred on March 1, 1969. The family has taken exception because...

They gave us one of our most fascinating episodes in history, one I never tire reading about.

Years ago I stopped telling people I did two tours as a Ranger in Vietnam, because nobody believes you anyway. Today, if the topic comes up, I just tell them I'm a Vietnam veteran.

You piqued my interest. One link led to another till I fell on this gun forum post from 2006. It's quite long but fascinating and well worth the read. It's by a guy who works at the Atlanta morgue. He sees 2500 autopsies a year come across the gurneys -more than 8 a day. Talk about an expert in the ...

I've seen newspaper headlines that've blamed the attack on everything from neurochemical reactions to bath salts, or to crack cocain. I guess it has to be admitted at least that zombies are a hygenic and nice-smelling bunch of face-ripping junkies, eh?

This whole issue would never have evolved into the issue it became, had Obama not proved himself to be such a pathological liar from his first day in office. For most of this nation's history, black folk referred to that particular trait of character as "jive ass bullshit".

I was the Route Clearance LNO for Regional Commands South, Southwest and West. Weird job for an Infantryman in an Engineer Battalion but we worked mostly with IN BCT's and SOCOM (mostly Green Beanies) so I'd like to think my prior experience was a factor in our mission success. We're close to the e...

2200 helicopter pilots were killed in Vietnam including the two piloting this Huey. Two of my teammates died onboard as well. God was with me this day. I mentioned this mission several years ago here on the board. I didn’t have any photos at the time. In fact I didn’t know any existed. Then I was co...

Only 1/3 of the population here in Rio Grande County, Colorado, is white. I don't really see that as a big deal.

I thought they were a weapon of war. :?

No, they were outlawed by the Geneva Convention as an egregious example of psychological torture.

What do you expect from a culture where the men wear skirts and and the bagpipes are considered a musical instrument?

An interesting aside to this thread is that the way things are going in the army, we may soon see mothers & sons going through Ranger School together.

Bravo! Congratulations 2nd Battalion Rangers. Our nation owes you a debt of gratitude that far transcends medal ceremonies.
