Welcome home, finally
I hope to see you this Memorial Day

Forty-three years ago this week, the fabled 101st Airborne Division launched Operation Apache Snow -- a major ground offensive against North Vietnamese army invaders in the treacherous A Shau Valley.
Though fighting raged over hundreds of square miles of triple-canopied jungle, the focus soon became a single terrain feature, a mountain, with peaks as high as 3,000 feet, the Vietnamese named Dong Ap Bia, or "Mountain of the Crouching Beast." The Americans who fought there called it Hamburger Hill.

I'd love for him to come over and claim he was there. Come on, you phony ****. Hang yourself with your own words.

Oh yeah, numbersBoo was there, along with TomInTib, DUmoTex, and John F'n. It's seared into his memory.
The DUmp is crawling with fake soldiers.

There's a post here somewhere of his quoted which has him in basic training in 1970. Whoopsie.

This may get hidden, but in honor of the Romney campaign I'll quote my old Drill Sergeant anyway ...
To a recruit at Fort Bragg, NC, in 1970,

The title is for 11Boo.
This post is for the lurkers. Do a DUmmy search on 11Bravo. There are several posts where 11Boo claims to have been in the shit on Hamburger Hill.
Ask, plead, beg or threaten his life if you must, but get him to stop claiming hero status.
On this Memorial week-end, show honor to the vet who has put his life in harms way, asks nothing in return then lives his remaining days in total obscurity.

The Battle of Hamburger Hill was a battle of the Vietnam War that was fought by the United States and South Vietnam against North Vietnamese forces from May 10–20, 1969.

The 11Boo sychophant lurkers won't give a second thought to continuing their misguided following of the 1970 recruit.
And 11Boo won't retract anything. Searches showing their own words mean nothing. It will be glossed over with something along the line of "I misspoke."

I flew into AShau, numbersboo. Look at that avatar. Bite me.

Wasn't the movie "Full Metal Jacket" about that time in Vietnam??

The movie closest to numbersBoo was "No Time For Sergeants".

There was a movie called Hamburger Hill that came out about the same time as Full Metal Jacket you may be thinking of.

Response to Original message
91. My Dad was a fighter pilot and retired as a Captain in the US Navy
after seeing combat in WWII and Korea, and commanding an aircraft carrier in VietNam. My grandfather was an Army sergeant who went "Over There" in WWI. My great-grandfather was a captain in the Union Army. I served in the US Army and received a battlefield promotion to corporal in the A Shau Valley in 1970. It has been a joke for generations in my family that there is a very thin line between fools and patriots. (And no one can figure out how the Hell I turned out to be a "bleeding-heart librul".)

Oh ok....thanks!!!

DUmmy numbersBoo is recalling that time he drove Sergeant King's car into the surf.

Unlike 11BooBoo I did serve in the 101st and I know their history well enough. He was no where near the A shau any more then I was and I served in the 101st in the 1980's twice.

Yep, I've seen Lt. Dan as a host on the Military Channel several times, and he appeared in Nashville not long ago with Charlie Daniels to raise money for a veterans' benefit program.

Yeah, it just sounded to me like 11Bravo took his back story from Lt. Dan to some extent.
I follow Gary S. on Twitter so I seem him promote all the time.

That was Marines and the combat part dealt with Tet and the battle for Hue City IRRC.

Don't think he's on Facebook, but I'm following his Gary Sinise Foundation. Awesome guy. First time I saw him was when I watched Forrest Gump about when I was 5. He was a perfect Lt. Dan.
11Bravo....screw you, liar.

No he had honor. He wanted to die with his men not run away like a little wimp.
I agree with the others about Mr. Sinise, a family man, conservative, passionate supporter of our military and a fine actor.

11Bravo--this one's for you, ****stick.
