Someone find this guy and beat his ass please. How rediculous. This guy was supposedly a "Ranger." Yet his Beret in the pic they show is folded to the wrong side. His sleeves are rolled up like a Marine's. He is wearing a black T shirt. He stutters profusely..........which unless that happened from his "War wounds" would have kept him out of probably ANY military service and certainly the Ranger Batt. What a piece of Propaganda shit! Fuck stick.........you better hope I don't find you!

5 bucks on the stuttering ranger to beat the air force guy with moobs.

I'm with you!

Anyone who has half a brain would realize this clip is a piece of bullshit propaganda! This guy was booted before he ever finished basic training. Even the Iraq Veterans Against the War have disavowed this guy!

I can't see the video because my work blocks streaming video (no more skydiving movies) but if I had a nickel for every wanna be SF, Ranger, SEAL, I'd be rich!.

Someone told me that another Green Beret worked at our school. I went over to him and coin checked him. He stared at it for a long time ... silence.
I said, "I hear you were in SF too"
"Yeah, Special Forces"
"Which Group? I was in 5th"
"Uh, Fort Bragg"
"Yeah, okay, but which group? 5th 7th? (back in my day those two groups were at Bragg -- now 5th is at Campbell and 3rd was reactivated)
Finally he confessed he was with some signal batallion attached to SF for some field exercise. What a poser!

Just ran across it. I hope he, the interviewer, the camera guy, and the entire IVAW take a bus trip on a tall mountain. Then drive off the nearest cliff.

Fine idea. If you just would let me know what's IVAW?

A clown ass organization called Iraq veterans against the war. Too bad we aren't still in the 1950's. We could sick Mc Carthy on them.

When I finished Infantry training at Ft. Polk I got on the bus for Benning (Jump School). On a corner, waiting for his bus ride home, was one of the idiots I trained with. He was wearing jump boots and a beret, all duded up in his Dress Greens. The only people in the army allowed to wear a beret (in 1970) were SF and Rangers. And you had to be Airborne to wear jump boots with your greens. I mean it was laughable to see that phony standing there. He may have fooled a few people back home, but he would have been in deep do-do if he was caught on base like that.

And then again, we have this guy working in our school who claims to be former S.F. He talks about making a halo jump from over 20 grand, with a ruck, with no previous halo training on a combat mission in Vietnam. This is probably one of his wilder tales. I guess he watched too many Rambo movies. I'd sure like to see his DD-214.

And then again I've caught a bunch of former vets who claimed to be Airborne and their jump stories just didn't add up. I hate liers....Steve1

He's obviously bitter because he found out he wasn't the man he thought he was.

Trouble is, the Arab media accept it as gospel, but the Arab media have no more truth or merit than supermarket tabloids.

Clay, I hope that one day you, Max, Steve, Chuck, and Scott can have a little chat with this punk, because y'all are the real deal, and are shining examples of the kind of men that others aspire to be.

I just laugh and let him go. He will implode, his fruadulant claim and fake combat trauma will hurt his cause more than an ass whoopin' would.

So, start being safe, first!!!

What does this mean: "coin checked him."

Funniest story I ever heard about being coin checked was when an SF dude was showering. Suddenly he heard clink, clink. A coin rolled into his stall. Some dude thought he had him. However, said SF dude had a coin duct taped to the bottom of his foot.

WARNING: Never coin check me. My original is home in a case, but I have dozens in every jump suit, Harley saddlebag, ash tray in pick up, locker, All within a step of me at all times. You coin check me, and you'll be buying. Ask BIGUN.

He shoulda spent $10 on ebay before running his mouth off.

This I expect to go down like a concrete parachute, but fuck it:

Why do so many U.S. Special Forces feel the need to tell everyone?

Over here, and in most other countries, publicly anouncing their profession would result in their dismissal from the regiment/unit. Any guesses why?

Reckon this is a troll post? Not really. It just pisses me off.

'for it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' "chuck 'im out, the brute!" But it's "saviour of 'is country" when the guns begin to shoot.'

Oh yeah, before I forget, loved the 'groupie' shop in Coronado selling all the t-shirts.

Funny as fuck.

Most of them don't. They're "regular" guys that don't need to brag. When you've been there and done that.... who are you trying to impress.

It's the wannabe's that brag about having been there.

k.

[vortexring 0]

I know most of them don't.

But a quite a few do.

Hence the post.

Honestly most of the guys I have met in the military have been very cool and just down right classy dudes.

I guess it’s just like any thing else you have some duchbags and you have some cool dudes.

You know there are some of us who will say hi I am a skydiver and ones who don’t bring it up unless it is brought up. I bet it’s the same thing.

I don't know about quite a few. I'll grant you "some".... and I'll acknowledge that I'm biased since I don't mind the stories. But it's a prespective issue. What might be annoying to you is cool to others. What might be just telling a tale could be viewed as bragging. Or what could be just listing names pertinent to the story could be seen as namedropping.

I'll pass on that bet.

Edit to add: I'm not slagging off US SF. Far from it.
Am I slagging off members of SF announcing their job? Not really. It just pisses me off.

Because it's unprofessional.
