Like the time he free fall jumped into Cambodia during the Vietnam War, but he got impaled through the shoulder by a tree branch over the Ho Chi Minh Trail with legions of North Vietnamese streaming beneath him, but he couldn&#8217;t even cry out in pain for fear of being discovered and captured. Somehow, he ingeniously freed himself and found his way to a local medicine man who miraculously healed and allowed Ken to carry on with his mission &#8211; we never found out what his ultimate mission was, but you can bet that it was dangerous and required him to smile mightily.<\/p>\n<p>Then there was the time he jumped out of the Space Shuttle or something at 40,000 feet, but he had a micro-tear in his jumpsuit which caused him to bleed profusely from all of his orifices, including his eyes. He lived, curiously, and managed to make a safe landing and then made it a hospital. Whew! Close one, huh?<\/p>\n<p>Folks tell me that he&#8217;d &#8220;get the call&#8221; for one of his secret missions while he was in church and have to get up and walk out to take the secret call. Apparently, he knew everyone in the war against terror because every time a casualty was on the news, he&#8217;d sink into a deep depression because it was one of his countless friends.  If it was a Special Operations guy, Ken had personally trained him. Probably he was sad because it would remind of the time he was assigned to a morgue detail in San Diego and he found one of his high school classmates in a body bag. Because the Army always puts commissioned officers on morgue details.<\/p>\n<p>Then there was the time he deployed to the war on terror and told everyone that he was headed to do dirt on the Taliban, but only got as far as his camper outside of town where he hid out, probably anticipating a terror attack on the town and lying in wait for the criminals for several weeks. That takes a special kind of soldier, ya know.<\/p>\n<p>And he had a huge hand in the operation to kill bin Laden &#8211; the SEALs who did it were &#8220;his guys&#8221; according to sources. He&#8217;s also claimed to support the widows of fallen troops &#8211; he paid off one woman&#8217;s motorcycle for her.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever would we do without men like Kenneth Crocheron?  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m sure you remember this guy from last weekend, Colonel Kenneth Crocheron, the only phony we &hellip; <a title=\"Ken Crocheron; the man, the legend\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=34943\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Ken Crocheron; the man, the legend<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-34943","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-phony-soldiers"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34943","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=34943"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34943\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=34943"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=34943"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=34943"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
