He reported to only two men: General Westmoreland and General Abrams, who were in command of the U.S. Armed Forces. His first assignment-a suicidal mission to assassinate four enemy generals in Laos who were planning the 1967 Tet invasion-was never disclosed to the media or the public. General Westmoreland stated that Sergeant FitzGerald deserved the Medal of Honor, and nine additional Purple Hearts, but unfortunately, most of his missions were conducted across the fence of South Vietnam, in Cambodia, Laos, and North Vietnam. In fact, all of his missions were classified, clandestine, and denied. They have not been disclosed until now. Reaper 6 is the only biography of this extraordinary soldier&#8217;s life, capturing the very sights, sounds, and smells of the Vietnam War. Today, Larry is the proverbial &#8220;last man standing&#8221; of 89 souls who went where lesser soldiers shouldn&#8217;t dare.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Well, according to the FOIA, all that BS is true, except for the service dates, FitzGerald&#8217;s rank, and instead of being special forces, he was an MP;<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?attachment_id=37997\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-37997\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Larry-Fitzgerald-FOIA-230x300.jpg\" alt=\"Larry Fitzgerald FOIA\" width=\"230\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-37997\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Larry-Fitzgerald-FOIA-230x300.jpg 230w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Larry-Fitzgerald-FOIA-256x333.jpg 256w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Larry-Fitzgerald-FOIA.jpg 430w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 230px) 100vw, 230px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?attachment_id=37998\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-37998\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Larry-Fitzgerald-2-1-300x79.jpg\" alt=\"Larry Fitzgerald 2-1\" width=\"300\" height=\"79\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-37998\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Larry-Fitzgerald-2-1-300x79.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Larry-Fitzgerald-2-1-500x133.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Larry-Fitzgerald-2-1.jpg 548w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Yeah, he was in Vietnam and had an honorable career and then shit all over himself for a couple of bucks. <a href=\"http:\/\/andrewrafkin.com\/index.php\">Mr. Rafkin<\/a> has been told that his &#8220;true story&#8221; is total horseshit and doesn&#8217;t seem to care, the folks at PS figured that the TAH crowd could convince him to care.
