<\/a><\/p>\nThe folks at Military Phony<\/a> provide us their work on this Thomas Earl O’Neil<\/a> fellow.<\/p>\n Thomas claims to have been in the Battle of Mogadishu and it was the worst 18 hours of hell that he has ever experienced.<\/p>\n You wouldn’t understand unless you were there…<\/p>\n He talks a lot about his buddies from The Mog, including CMOH recipients Master Sergeant Gordon and Sergeant First Class Shughart, whom O’Neil claims to have served alongside…<\/p>\n You may recall a lot of this was captured in the movie “Black Hawk Down<\/a>” after the account was written up in the Philadelphia Inquirer by Mark Bowden.<\/p>\n But according to O’Neil, many of the survivors of the Battle of Mogadishu (Operation Gothic Serpent) are killing themselves and there are only a few left… O’Neil being one of them of course.<\/p>\n He claims three Bronze Star Medals with “V” for Valor and three “Purple Stars” – later corrected to\u00a0“Purple Hearts.”\u00a0 The image above clearly shows the Bronze Star and Purple Heart but it is hard to tell if they have additional awards on them.<\/p>\n Veteran suicide is a serious problem.\u00a0 If what O’Neil says is true about veterans from the Battle of Mogadishu, who will be left to tell the story of what happened there?<\/p>\n Let’s see what Tom O’Neil’s records say.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
