I put this on Facebook yesterday and the folks who are our fans over there really enjoyed a well-crafted tale told by a real snake-eating specops guy, so i brought it over here for you sociopaths who don’t Facebook. It’s from an email I got inquiring about the truthiness of a guy. Of course, I dutifully looked him up and couldn’t find him listed anywhere, but you know he’s pretty secret squirrel, so give me your opinion from the reading;<\/p>\n
Says he’s 75th ranger special ops tan beret. But that he gets to live here in NV and only has to go back to Benning when called in for a mission. Says these are only intelligence-based special missions he does. Something about ODB or ODI detachment unit.<\/p>\n
Said he has been in Army for 12 years and wasn’t going to re-up so probably get out in 7 or 8 months. Then a few days later tells me he got a letter from his colonel saying he could be discharged now but would need to fly to Benning to sign the papers.<\/p>\n
Goes to Benning that weekend and comes back saying his commander has invited him to join Green Berets and asked him to take a week to think about it. Flies back to Benning the following week deciding to discharge. Then I get a call telling me his captain has asked him to do one more mission before being discharged, and that it will be 10 to 15 days and then his is done and out.<\/p>\n
Leaves for said mission and calls me seven days later saying it got done early and they came back “minus one.” Told me he flew back on a C-30 with a pine box covered with an American flag with his fallen 75th Ranger. He talks a lot about battles and details.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I’m not adding his name to the story because I don’t want the emailer to get in trouble and I haven’t perfected the TAH Witness Protection Program yet. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
