OK, so maybe I was wrong about Wittgenfeld

JP sends us this photo of Dallas Wittgefeld that proves maybe he was a “Green Beret” in Vietnam;

OK, maybe that’s not really Wittgenfeld, but then, it’s not really Vietnam, either. It’s Fort Benning, GA. My platoon sergeant played one of the Viet Cong in the movie, and he’s not Vietnamese. So Wittgenfeld would have felt right at home there.

    A poorly accomplished Photoshop job.
    Google Images at “john wayne green berets” has the real image.
    Sorry I can’t link to it.

  2. So instead of “Provo’s Privy”, can we have, “Wittgenfeld’s Whackoff Stall” when he kicks?

    1. So, Wittgenfeld just tried to bribe us to take down the posts about him.

    @1- Agreed. Wayne’s head really is much too big for his body and nowhere near representative of his brain mass. I’m filing a formal complaint.

  4. Beretverde

    I’m picking myself off the floor from laughing so hard!

  5. I have trouble with dates… is this April First?

  6. OMG… is Sulu licking his lips while looking at The Duke?

  7. OWB

    Well done! Yep. That proves it, so I will be getting in the line for appologies being extended.

    (Y’all call me in a couple hundred years or so when that line begins to form.)

  8. Af-FIRM-mative, Colonel!

  9. Now that right there is funny,….. I don’t care who ya are.

  10. I liked the song…”Fighting Soliders from the sky….”

    It could have been named the “Dallas Dumpers”

  15. Had a SDI back in 72 who played one of the Cong…. Tayam.

    A GREAT song, and “THE GREEN BERETS,” 1968, is my favorite Vietnam War Movie —
    (there was a good one with F. Lee Ermey, too — can’t remember the title) .

  17. DR_BRETT

    “. . . but then, it’s not really Vietnam, either.” —

    LB JOHNSON did not want the movie made, according to reports, until Wayne told him to permit it, and, 1968 wasn’t a good year for Vietnam photo shoots on-location (other kind of shooting may have interfered) .

  18. DR_BRETT

    My sources say the movie was made at FORT BRAGG, North Carolina .
    (but I have never been to Fort Bragg)

  19. DR_BRETT

    You’re right again, Mr. Lilyea — says FORT BENNING, Georgia .

  20. Redacted1775

    R. Lee Ermey in The Siege of Firebase Gloria? Or Full Metal Jacket? The former is one of the Worst movies I’ve ever seen. Right down in the shitter with Uncommon Valor.

  21. DR_BRETT

    I’m not sure, but probably the former (“The Siege Of Firebase Gloria”); I’ve seen “Full Metal Jacket” on television, and I like Ermey’s portrayal, but I did not care for the final section about The Battle For Hue .
    Apparently, we dis-agree about the other movie — I had someone disagree with me, before this .

  22. Redacted…he was also the DI in “The Boys Of Company C”, another forgettable one.

  23. DR_BRETT

    No. 21:
    Right !! — it’s “R” for Ronald Lee Ermey .
    (I can’t afford Andy Kravetz’ research/proofread staff)

  24. Redacted1775

    Eh, ironicallly both R.Lee and Gene Hackman were Marines. I heard a rumor the Marine Corps originally didn’t want Ermey to make the movie because, as a former Drill Instructor, his portrayal was too realistic a depiction of recruit training at the time. Thankfully they’ve both made some good movies.

  25. Redacted1775

    Yeah, I vaguely remember that one Sparky, something about an RV getting delivered in theater?

  26. DR_BRETT

    I ALWAYS enjoy R. Lee Ermey — in everything I have seen, in which he acts — he reminds me of Sergeant Conover, at Ford Ord .

    Flying assclowns from the sky,

    Fearful men, who pose and cry,

    Men who mean, the lies they say

    The posing men, of the faux beret

    Lots of things, upon their chests

    These are men, PX and surplus’s best

    Men who pose, by night and day

    The lying men, of the faux beret.

    @28

    Cool.

    Not a chance dude, I think we’re way beyond that. Time for him to take his medicine.

    Post it Jonn, I want to see what weasel is saying!

  34. F’n 100 bucks.

    Well, that would cover beers for you, Zero, and TSO.

  36. OWB

    Aw, that’s not enough to even be insulting! Just sad.

    A NEW PAGE — “F’N BUCKS”
    (exact opposite of F’n Boot)

  38. ROS

    And did you respond with a hearty “Go Gettfucked!!!”?

  39. Veritas Omnia Vincit

    $100??

    sounds like the time SNL offered the Beatles 3 grand to get back together…they said they knew it wasn’t much money but the Beatles could always pay Ringo less…

  40. ARoberts

    Wait, hold on. He wants to give you 100 bucks to take down these posts? HAHAHAHAHAHA! Yeah, I bet that 100 bucks turns out to be 3 months of belly button lint, toe nail clippings, and an autographed picture of him in his thunder chicken get up.

  41. OWB

    On the other hand, I am so sick of looking at the clown’s mug that I would probably pay you that much to take his pic down!

  42. JP

    What a fucktard. Dallass has turned out to be great entertainment.

    NHSparky: “The Boys in Company C” may have been a forgettable movie, but IMO it had one of the best short monologues ever in a war flick:

    “Washington checked his package, The boys checked their package, And I’m checkin’ my package. Now, you little wheyfaced, disloyal bum, are you checkin’ your package? Or do you have a package?” — Sgt Curry

    To always look for the valuables, wherever they may be found !!

  45. Good point. My big issue with that flick is it tried to jam in as many negative VN vet stereotypes as it could into one movie.

  46. Thats not photoshopped dullass head is really that big. small body huge head. why do you think he is so full of shit he has a huge head to hold it all

    Hey, have some respect here. That $100.oo comes from my VA Purple Heart Pension monies. I was told that: “you guys take money for all what you do, so I offered up. What is the going price…? Today is payday and you guys were just laughing but now you will have to wait till the next payday 1st of every month,you know the drill.

  48. LoNg RaNgE PaTrOL 41

    Did you weenies know that “Robin Moore” wrote a letter of recommendation for me…. I was the Special Forces Association’s “escort officer” for Robin Moore at the Bull Simon awards for General Yarborgh in Tampa. I didn’t see any of you young punks there. I sat beside Joint Chiefs Meyers who gave me his challenge coin.

    See how stupid you guys are….

  49. Hondo

    Wittgenfeld: here you get exactly the respect your conduct deserves. Assholes get treated like assholes.

    If you’re getting treated like an asshole here – look in the mirror to see why.
