    Whether or not he is a verified Paratrooper...

    He has been asked certain questions about his service from CURRENT members and Admin's of this board.

    HE HAS NOT GIVEN A SATISFACTORY ANSWER TO ANY OF THEM!

    Skysoldier is a Vietnam Veteran, who knowS his shit...and if his "Bullshit" meter is going off, well, I have to back his play.

    So verified or not...IF HE IS A POSER ABOUT HIS VIETNAM CREDENTIALS...

    He can take a long fucking walk off a short cliff...

    as far as I am concerned.

    In my book...He is a fucking NO GO at this station!

    Wildcat...Either...PUT UP...OR...SHUT THE FUCK UP AND HIT THE BRICKS!

    By the way all,

    I gave Wildcat an enthusiastic welcome because I told him I would if he got verified. I try to be a man of my word.

    I am still confused by some of his claims and the evasiveness.

    Wildcat. This post is getting pretty fucking long and I would really like to hear you come clean (in 200 words or less, not 200 more pages) and answer some of our questions.

    I warn you, I have a lot of trust in and respect for my brothers here, especially some of those calling bullshit on your claims, but not much in you yet.

    What do you say Wildcat? Are you going to be a man and answer a few simple questions -- or are you going to snake off into the woodline on your belly because your mouth got a little bigger than the ass you have to back it up and you are afraid to admit it?

    Shit, if you are trying to bullshit us, at least you could admit to us, if for no other reason than to preserve some modicum of self-respect and some semblance of manhood. In other words everyone fucks-up, but at least a self-respecting man will admit that he has fucked up and take what is coming to him.

    If you have been trying to bullshit us (which I suspect), well, obviously you are not welcome here as far as I am concerned, and I hope you take it as a lesson learned and keep your shit within reality in the future. Damn shame when a man gets turned away by Brothers because he can't tell the truth.

    Ace, been trying to post the answer's, sent to cal and chris by email, which I can do, but not good on this or threads. Tried for 20-30 min's. got booted. Hopefully they will post for me.
    I did do some bullshit just to see what was what, just like you all. Let me know when you get the answers. I never tried to pump up my service one bit, I don't have to do that because it was insignificant to some that gave more.
    Goodnight.

    Alright Wildcat --

    but you gotta convince the rest of the Brothers (and Sisters now) not just me -- and some of these guys have definitely been there and done that.

    I am anxiously waiting to see how this turns out.

    I don't know about the rest of you, but this is confusing the fuck out of me and pissing me off.

    I don't want to ride a Brother and 'Nam Vet because he has poor computer skills (been there), because he has a shit internet connection (been there too), or because the fella is new to the internet thing (been there too -- the first post I made in a Paratrooper forum was soup sandwich to the max -- no I didn't bullshit, but was not sure how to introduce myself -- and by that time I was quite proficient with the 'puter).

    On the other hand, like you said RF, not sure why the bullshit can get posted but not answers to questions.

    I am assuming there was a good reason for this post:

    Per email request, here is what he sent me. I don't know why he can type out an email but can't post here.

    To Gator and Ace.

    1. I did not hump the Ap Bia (Hill 937) know as the Ashau Valley, but did the 'An Loa Valley'
    2.Never knew what 'Lower Jumper' is or was, must be getting senile or forgot. Did serve with B-2/504 devils in baggy pants TRUE! 82nd Airborne. The only thing that I can think of is when someone jumps down on my chute and steals the air and I drop like a rock. I have had that done and I have also got in an 'air-pocket' for awhile and took pic's with my kodak instamatic, maybe 124? been a long time..
    3.Never heard of 'Lone Star beer', if it was around in the area in my time, just the sound would keep me away from it AND not putting down you or your state, TRUE!
    4.Also did 'Corregidor in Nam.
    5 Did serve with E.2/503-173rd in Nam.
    6. Did jump school in may of 68---49th company, see Cal for details. or Chris
    7. 307-Ace I am not a 'hero' they are on the 'Wall' so don't go there. I am 'evasive' because of what and how the Gov. and American people treated us and our own 'kin,' in my case.
    I just did my time to get out of that hell hole. Have you ever slept in the monsoons and mountains when you thought you were going to freeze or killed or get it bysnakes and spiders; etc? Ace, not you or anyone else on the site can down my service or dishonor it, I did't do 20, but I did what was asked and did so 'Honorable' , reenlistment code is re-4, can't get any better than that? right?
    8. I can tell by Skysoldier dates that he wasn't in or on hill 937, did you see him deny or confirm it? Everybody is a 'Historian' ? Ace, wasn't being 'hostile' just said what I meant, Ranger wasn't for me because 'I' was drafted, didn't want any more time in if I could help it.. I said that quite plain in the thread, but you all took it wrong, shit happens!
    9. Now if you don't trust people, I can relate to that, just put it right out front, send DD-214 before getting on this site, this would get rid of the wannabees, sound right.
    If they are 'Stamped from there state Veterans Services, pretty much full proof..
    10. If I didn't get all the questions answered, just ask the rest, but look in the past threads.

    Airborne!
    Wildcat...

    Chris, we have had bad storms here and I keep getting booted off, if you could put this out to the rest I would appreciate it.
    Thanks--TAW

    Partially. He still has to provide answers to some questions to be fully vetted. He is still confirmed as an RVN vet, which isnt a small thing, but it seems he has embellished his travels a little.

    It seems he IS a troop. His Viet Nam claims are sending up star clusters left and right.
