Quoted: Did anybody catch Mark Owen on Sunday nights 60 minutes? They were talking with him again about his book and the problems it's caused him, and he has a new book out as well, No Hero is the name I think. I saw it. Buncha fucking malarkey. There's nothing in that book that's classified, and anyone who thinks "Mark Owen" would go about violating OPSEC with the publication of that novel is a fucking retard. Many of his teammates are STILL on active duty. Joe fucking Biden is the dipshit who spilled the beans on DEVGRU being involved in the raid. And I nearly shit myself when I saw the page-shot of his new novel where the .mil sensors redacted ST6 from the pages. Gimme a goddamn break; Disney tried to buy the rights to "SEAL Team Six" a few years ago, IIRC. They're not gonna be happy until they seize all the proceeds from the sale of that novel and ruin his name. BUT, he was technically sworn to secrecy and he was the one who rolled the dice and decided to write that book... |

Not sure if your talking about my Instagram page but if you are I always credit the photographer if I know who he/she is. These pics were released from 3rd group. No hi-res pics were released. Outlaw185, is that you? It is.... Same Kilo 1-1 on MPNet? |

Quoted:
Col. Wendell Fertig, a civil engineer in the Philippines before WWII, he entered active duty as a reserve captain, corps of engineers, and was promoted twice, to lieutenant colonel. Before Corregidor fell he was sent to Mindanao to continue his demolition work and when General Sharp surrendered he went into the hills and organized guerrilla operations against the Japanese, causing the Japanese to send 60,000 troops (to his 36,000 troops, of which 16,500 were armed) to stop guerrilla forces on Mindanao and 288,000 throughout the rest of the Philippines. His troops fought along side the U.S. 6th Army during the Philippines Campaign. He was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross, and even though he commanded as many troops in combat as a corps commander, he was never promoted above colonel. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BRK8j0VTgLk/TkcOSFa5H-I/AAAAAAAACDo/pA8WFCwKqZY/s1600/col.jpg http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/05/Col_Wendell_Fertig_with_goatee.jpg/170px-Col_Wendell_Fertig_with_goatee.jpg One of the reasons he's such a badass to me, is pretty stupid. In the original audiobook of Griffin's Corps series book where they take supplies into him, the narrator reads his voice as Jack Nicholson.

I worked on Ryan:
Sharkbase was just next door. He walks (with help) into our station and he's ready to go back out there and I'm all HOLY SHIT! Good guy. Ended up blind, but was able to get married, get his degree, be a father, and climbed Mt. Rainier. He said that if he was going to be a blind man, he'd be the best damend blind guy he could be. RIP, bud.

I think it was under the heading of "sometimes horribly sad things just happen". Not sure though. It's odd putting that post with the book. Doc, you do God's work. |

SEAL Ryan Job. Wounded in the face in Iraq during a firefight; he survived the wounds & then only to die at home due to surgery complications. Chris Kyle wrote about him at length in "American Sniper". Guy was a total badass. Thank you for your service, Doc, as well as everyone here who has served. And thank you for the pictures, every damn time I go through this thread I feel like I should be doing push-ups and flutter-kicks until I die. The gun pron is pretty outstanding as well. |

At the particular FOB where I was working in Kunduz province, Assholeistan, possession of a camera was an immediate ticket home and a permanent 86 from the DoD contracting community. There was a guy or two who tried to test that theory. The hypothesis was proven. I guess they didn't think the DoD would bother to check our FB accounts. WRONG.
There are things and people that the world doesn't need to know everything about. I don't know, and I was there. You know what? I like it that way.
