Mary sends us her work on the James Frederick Frey, who goes by Jamie Frey these days. That’s Frey in the photo above. He was at the 18th Annual Military Gala & Banquet in Branson last weekend. For some reason, the reporters gravitate to the people who have less military experience, but more willing to tell tall tales, like Frey;
Frey served as a second class petty officer in the Navy during the Vietnam War from 1973-1975 and exited in ’77. Young served as a “grunt” in the Marine infantry beginning in 1963 and served in the Vietnam War from 1965-1967.
Although the two had never met before, they connected instantly over stories about their time serving.
[…]
Frey said she and her troop were on equal footing, from them having her back during a tussle to saving 13 POW soldiers and more.
“I knew they had my back and they knew I had theirs,” she said.
However, as the night wore on, emotions rose as their stories became more difficult to share.
“We came home, we were called rapists, baby killers (and) murderers,” Frey said.
Well, Frey didn’t have far to “come home”. He spent a little more than 12 months on active duty from June 1973 to July 1974 and according to his records, he never left the continental United States. So, I’m not sure where he rescued POWs, unless he saved them from hippies there in San Diego;
As near as I can tell from his training, Frey was an avionics mechanic for a very brief period of time. In fact, he probably spent most of his military career in schools. And, as I’m sure you know, the Navy always uses airplane mechanics to rescue POWs, because they’re just so badass.
I’m wondering about Mr Young, too, because he cleaves to the sad-ass stereotypes of Vietnam vets and those baby-killers stories. But we’ll probably have to wait a little longer for his records.
Anxiously awaiting the comedy gold that is “John “Faker 6″ Giduck.”
Do.
Not.
Let.
Me.
Down.
Since Green Thumb is probably not awake just yet (or maybe lost in a snowbank), I’ll drop this in for him.
Turd.
Shitbag.
Extra shitbag.
Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
Shitweasel.
You forgot to offer up the hearty handshake and warm cup of soup followed by the ice cream sandwich! Jeez, you can’t just “yadda yadda yadda” the best part of the routine!
Handless shake.
Warm cup of shit stew.
Shit sandwich, take a big bite. Mustard is free.
(Oh, that is SO mean of me!)
I have nothing left.
Time to do some more creative thinking.
When we were out in the field, we’d always call back to the base camp to send out the mechanics, engineers, supply specialists so they could do our rescuing/ambushing/firefight shit……….
Mr Young was simply a Gala guest – seating assigned by my hand. Frey on the other hand, has previously signed his name “Vietnam era Vet.” His using the GALA as an opportunity to take advantage of the evenings emotions makes me sick! He will join the ranks of DW – welcome nevermore at our events. Shame the reporter did not query me on the tale, as I talked to her about the GALA before publication.
This individual is going to be on a list with the RaDiOtElEpHoNeOpErAtOr? That’s kind of like the scene in Casino where De Niro tells Pesci about the black book and Pesci blows him off by saying there’s only 2 names in that book and one of them is Al Capone. This shitstick is in some rarefied company indeed!
Young joined in 1963 because he said he was going to be drafted anyway. According to Selective Service, only 82, 060 men were drafted in 1962, presumably the draft year that prompted him to enlist in 1963. I guess he had a crystal ball or something.
As for the story, “Frey said she and her troop were on equal footing, from them having her back during a tussle to saving 13 POW soldiers and more.” ‘I knew they had my back and they knew I had theirs,”’ she said.” Her? She? What did I miss? Was there a sex change at table 6 during the gala?
“However, as the night wore on, emotions rose as their stories became more difficult to share.” Yeah, when you’re three sheets to the wind, it’s difficult to share, what with the slurring and all.
2/17 Air Cav…Thank you!!! I thought I was missing something with the whole “she” business but I see someone else is looking at the same sheet music. Yea I’m thinking the PTSD “IT” caught probably pushed it over the edge to bat for the pink team.
“Frey said she and her troop were on equal footing, from them having her back…”
WTF? Transgendered POW rescue hottie? Is this Chad the journalist’s work?
GDC: Fast but not fast enough, I say as I blow on my smoking typing fingers.
I couldn’t have lost to a better man. Never change…. if you know what I mean. 😉
2/17 Air Cav…Smokin’ hot fingers my man! I read the story and couldn’t wait to get a post in.
You know, that he/she thingy – I wondered about that. Was it a typo? Or a Freudian slip, perhaps? Did the reporter unconsciously report something that no one else saw?
Stay tuned. Should be interesting.
Crapweasel big time

Chad just wasn’t really sure, and he was afraid to do the “research”. So he is just going to leave it there.
“emotions rose as their stories became more difficult to share.”
It’s hard to keep slinging bullshit when you dont’ remember how you told the lie the last time.
…or you’re completely crocked from hard liquor.
Maybe, but I always thought that the Romans said “In vino veritas”, you know, “In wine there is truth”. Maybe it should really be “In vino, spucatum tauri!”
Spew warning!!! Post it!!!
I almost sprayed my whole desk.
Doesn’t matter if it’s a he or she; it’s still a dipshit.
No question. The underlying point is that this is a perfect example of how little the reporters care about their military-related stories. Nothing is verified. They just slap the tripe down on their electronic gizmos and hit send. As GDContractor indicated with his reference to I-have-my-doubts-but-WTF Chad from Lawrence, Kansas, these reporters aren’t worth a damn.
Yeah we had had guy in SC who got his ass handed to him by a deputy sheriff a while back. Now his lawyer is claiming his client has PTSD from being a member of “highly trained hostage rescue units.”

“Although the two had never met before, they connected instantly over stories about their time serving.”
Yeah.
I ran across a mechanic the other. He was not conning folks, just stupid. He told me we had a lot in common because we both deployed.
Uh, no. We don’t. Different jobs, different experiences.
I politely told the guy this and he told me that I just don’t know his story.
I told him to fuck off and moved on.
As I have stated before, everyone wants a CIB but no one wants to bother worth that whole “Infantry” thing first.
And for reference, this guy was sporting a WWP Alumni hat.
Green Thumb…”As I have stated before, everyone wants a CIB but no one wants to bother with that whole “Infantry” thing first.”
Thank you Sir!
“as I’m sure you know, the Navy always uses airplane mechanics to rescue POWs, because they’re just so badass.”
Oh hell yeah, there was this one time while we were floating off of PI and I was working on an A7’s FUBAR radar system that my skipper called me to the ready room because there were some blackshoe’s trapped in a bar in Olongopo by some bar girls who keeps saying to them over and over “Buy me a drink, Joe?”
Still trying to forget the horror of that mission. So much booze….
You guys drank your way out of an Olongopo bar? Men among men!
🙂
Served for a year as a “he” during the 1970s, and is now living as a “she”. Was also discharged as an E3 after just over 1 yr service. Hmmm.
This Cockwhistle was not an Avionics technician, he was a Jet Mech. (Aviation Machinist Mate-Jet)
You know, I learn new profanities all the time on this site:
Shitweasel
Shitlord (currently my personal favorite)
Cockwhistle
Shitstick
And the list goes on and on. I would like to thank each and every one of you for your continued contribution to my education. I was quite the profanity artist before checking this site out, but thanks to all of your dedication to this art form, I am taking it to a whole other level! I’ve even used Green Thumb’s line about the “hearty handshake and a warm cup of soup on people” and they just give me that look; you know, the one that your dog gives you when he’s confused? Good stuff, all.
M1LT:
“Turd burglar”
😀
You forgot “Shyte Pickle” 😀
Toasty: I prefer the standard spelling of my recently adopted all-time-favorite TAH descriptor: Shit pickle. There it is. Isn’t it beautiful? Damn near brings a tear to mine eye every time I see it.
It has a ring to it.
And for the record, “hearty handshake and a warm cup of soup” was not mine. However the “ice cream” phrases are original, if that makes sense.
I was “downgraded” in my comments and I understand why.
But the meaning is still the same.
As it so happens Jonn, we avionics techs are pretty badass. Just ask us, we’ll tell you. Same mindset as the infantry to be honest. We’re better than, you and we know it. ;-). All kidding aside, this guy can kick rocks, glue waiting mouth breathing knuckle dragged.
Holy shit, I though Jamie Frey was the veteran on the left of the photo above; but after re-reading the whole thing, I now get it that “Jamie” is the he/she/it trans-whatever at the RIGHT of the photo, complete with fingernail polish. Okey-dokey then…but still a lying-ass poser…
The Navy.
That explains a lot.
I don’t care about the hair, dress, and makeup…this guy is not a woman. He took his charade into the gala…I was there, Mary was there, Steve Robinson was there, and for goodness sakes..THE SHIPLEY’S were there! That takes serious BALLS! He’s still a man.
Yipes. So, are we to understand that this guy was dressed in drag at the gala? Is that where this is? For real?
Hey, I saw a he/she at the va hospital in Milwaukee a while back. And it made no effort to hide it. It was just daring people to punch it out or say something. It was probably an agent of the Obama regime to entrap any normal people. It was something I never would have thought I would see at a VA facility. Maybe the VA is paying for it’s sex change?? wouldn’t surprise me.
Yeah well, there was one that worked at the Post Office out here in the ‘Stan. Apparently one of the soldiers was quite taken with “her” until it was explained to him that all was not as it seemed. I wish I could have been there to see the look on that dude’s face when he was informed of the facts.
Yes he was in drag and this was the second year that he/she was there.
Old Drag Queens.
Anchors Away!
I was, indeed, in attendance that night, with Don Shipley seated beside me, and Mary at the table beside us. I didn’t learn about this butt nugget until the news story was sent to me by Mary, along with her exclamations of complete disgust. There were nearly 400 in attendance at the GALA, along with entertainers and an army of black shirted staff from the Chateau to serve the tables. I don’t recall seeing either of the two shown in the photograph, but we DID spot an elderly guy wearing a greying ponytail, an amazing set of medals from the Vietnam era, and both a DSC and a modern GWOT-type medal atop his chest array! We got his name and are seeking additional information that will enable us to file a FOIA. Whether it’s a trip to WalMart, or a bib-n-tucker formal affair like the annual GALA, it seems like I can’t go ANYWHERE without running into these dirtbag butt nuggets! DAMMIT!! >:-|
Still waiting for correction or retraction to the story. Reporter says they want “both sides” of the story and are waiting to hear back from Jamie/James.
My opinion – records provided (one side) fairy tale printed (other side). Both sides if you ask me. TRUTH needed.
