So Chris was a guy who got famous for being a cheating piece of shit. And his death was a direct result of his cheating? I get your point, but would not compare the two in any way shape or form. No, I don't think you do. |

I met Frank Castle when we were in Sang Bang and later in Dang Gong. I was in the Specialist Tactics Unit Battalion and Frank was with the Commando Airborne Tactics guys. Good guy, his unit loved him. Big practical joker, Frank. I remember he visited me in the hospital after I stepped on that landmine. He brought me a basket of prunes and a card that said, "It's important to trust in God but it's a hell of a lot better to be regular."

Quote HistoryTruly. But beyond that, back to the OP intent, it is amazing that so many people have lionized him to the extent that they, with tributes painted on their trucks, decals, etc etc etc. I mean, FFS we have many MOH winners from the same conflicts who sacrificed immensely performing unthinkable acts of heroism and the same brodozer pilots have no idea what any of their names are. Nailed it.... I mean you hit the nail on the head, sad in reality...... People suck though, Look at WW2 Guadalcanal Mitchel Paige was awarded the Medal of honor but he takes a back seat to John Basilione not bashing, he was a badass as well.... Don't get me started on Francis Curry guy was like a real life commando lol.... No one remembers him either..... |

Just another ARF cluster-FUBAR thread in GD. Kyle wasn't a perfect person or author, but what he did deserves my respect and the senseless way he died was tragic. Earnhardt's death was a calculated risk and not senseless, or near as tragic (despite his worshipers tears). BTW... you'd think that Kyle was a Kardashian the way some refer to him around here. Probably the knowledge that when Kyle was killed people lined up to pay respects...when they croak, their wake won't be a blip on the radar. |

The book was written as if by a middle school boy. However, the guy wasn't an English major so what does one expect? I met him a few times in Ramadi--Sharkbase was right next to my hole in the wall. I resuscitated Ryan "Biggles" Job in Ramadi and Kyle was very grateful for our work on him. He seemed like a decent fellow to me. Off topic, but did you know a guy named Balske, he said he was at sharkbase at the same time? Bigger asian guy with full sleeve tattoos, I think he was a commo guy |

Here's a multi-million dollar idea for one of our more entrepreneurial members:
Are you ready for it? Here it is: Tier 1 Trading Cards. They're like basball cards or Pokemon cards but they feature various members of SOF. The front has a picture of them looking all cool and operatory. The back is full of stats like when they went through BUDS or SFAS or Ranger School. It will have how many confirmed kills they have. What their favorite weapon is. How many deployments they have and where. You can sell them at gun shows and Arfcom conventions. There will also be a game that goes along with it. Maybe something like Candyland but with more guns. Instead of sliding down candy canes the characters fall down mountains. You collect the cards. All of your friends come over and play the game in your mom's basement. Everybody can dress like their favorite operator. You eat pizza, play the game, trade cards. |
