I pulled six years, two floats, Somalia, Bosnia, honorable discharge. It's just a way of not putting my real email addres or fullname in the list.
Chesty was a good guy, there's no disrespect intended. But as much as know of him, i heard he was a General who wanted the Medal of Honor so bad but ended up with 5 Navy Crosses. I don't have any real feelings one way or the other about the guy. Perhaps I should change it to Smedley Butler or John Dailey... maybe Archibald Henderson. Maybe you don't recognize me, but I thought we knew each other.- last name is Small, first name is Matt. I got tired of disliking seeing my name and.or feelings in Google searches, especially since these debates on here get heated sometimes. Anyway, I wore the EGA, graduated bootcamp at Parris Island, got a couple of NJPs, am a Shellback, sailed the Suez, and got married and divorced within 6 months, so I know I'm a real Marine. - Matt ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ken Ketsdever" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, December 13, 2005 2:52 PM Subject: Chesty Puller, WTF? > Alright, I've sat quietly on the sidelines as long as I can.
