    Norman Schwarzkopf was a truely different kind of officer in our Army. Obviously a great combat commander, he also felt he was beyond the regulations he enofced on his formations. Constantly overweight, he routinely discharged others who suffered a similar fate while continuing to have his tailor make him look as good as possible. That was not his only shortcoming that he failed to forgive in others. Gotta love him for what he accomplished but he doesn't shine as brightly as he could do to his failing to meet the standards he enforced on others

    Former S.E.A.L. and our top most scoring Sniper ever--Chris Kyle murdered. Rest in Peace Chris-you did NOT deserve this.








    Murdered by this pig:



    Rest in Peace Chris:

    So sorry Carl. Not just for Chris, but because of your dedication to all service men both historical and current. You keep us informed when we would not have a clue. And it is something we NEED to be informed about........the people who kept what we had for us, and the ones who still do. The pictures you put up SHOW us that this was a real person, not just a name.


    Keep it up, Carl. I know how much time it takes, as you know. BUT, for some of us, it really is important, and we thank you! YF, KEITH

    God, she reminds me of me! DUKE

    Thank you as well Keith, and I plan on doing as much as I can in this area. Im currently doing some volunteering with a Vietnam Vet/Friend or mine who also has PTSD. To say the least--trying to help him sometimes is VERY stressful.


    On Chris, when I saw the news--I was so angry and also couldnt believe my eyes on what I read.


    The murderous pig--also was arrested a few hours later after running from the Law. I hope they more than throw the book at him. One of Kyles neighbors--was the 2nd man murdered by that pig.

    RIP Chris Kyle


    This thread was started by The Tennesseean in recognition of
    service men and women, who have lost their lives.
    I have also,hopefully with his permission,
    edited the thread title, to make this the now dedicated thread.


    Quote from The Tennesseean

    This thread has been started, in response to posts on other threads about the military, and remembering/honoring them.


    It seems fitting therefore that the tragedy of Chris Kyle,
    should be here and not in any 'General' thread.

    Best Wishes
    Keith

    While researching him for possible contact--just learned he passed away in January. Anyway, im talking about the Gentleman whom the movie and book: The Dirty Dozen--was inspired from. I am talking about James "Jake" McNiece-who was a Sergeant in the 101st Airborne Divisions Pathfinder unit nicknamed: "The Filthy Thirteen."


    Rest in Peace Jake.
