Aaaah SHIT! I just got my biopsy results. It's melanoma.
About a half an hour ago I got the call from my dermatologist's office. The prognosis isn't too bad, in fact, it's pretty good, and I'll have surgery on Wednesday. Besides, I've already kicked cancer's candy ass once, way back in '97; and I'm ready to do it again.

We caught it early, and it appears to be not overly invasive; but having heard the "C" word once already, I'll admit that hearing it again was a gut punch. After hugging my wife, and telling my sons how much I love them, I may have to be twice as obnoxious for a couple of days, just to convince myself that I'm too ****ing tough to be sick. (If so, I apologize in advance.)

You're gonna have to answer for your lying ass.

Good luck Wednesday.

How would you know?

Slobber fest.

Good! Except this tale is probably about as true as his phony war record.

Hope he can get to Cuba and avoid the awful medical care in this country.

Fidel has an open bed now that Yugo has gone home to die.

I never thought to put numbersBoo in my 2013 DUmp dead pool.

By the way, is there any truth to the rumor that Yugo was kicked out of Cuba because
someone in Nebraska froze his PayPal acount?

No, no, no. That's just a rumor. Nothing to see.

3. Sorry to hear you've got the big C,

So, you've got the big C?  And I hear you've got cancer too.

So, you've got the big C?  And I hear you've got cancer too.

To quote Frank, "DUmmies lie, all the time, they lie".

[GOBUCKS]

In the unlikely event he's not lying, I hope phony soldier numbersBoo stays active at the DUmp til the bitter end. I remember how Pam disappointed us, though.

If it's never reported.......

Do we have a death pool here?  If not I thing that would be a great idea. 

[Billiam Pitts]

Did Alien Girl kick the bucket?

[67 Rover]

I call dibs on Tavaner!

[NHSparky]

I'll take atman--he won't be able to live without DU.

[Tucker]

Did Alien Girl kick the bucket?

Yeah. Cancer in the tongue.

[Tucker]

I'll take atman--he won't be able to live without DU.

I'll take 11Boo 

[GOBUCKS]

Do we have a death pool here? 

Not really. It may have been suggested before, but the first time I mentioned it, it was in response to someone saying it was insensitive to make fun of dead DUmmies or DUmmies who were suffering in real life. It may have been when the contemptible TLB whacked herself, or maybe when coach killed the round red sodomite.

I love it when DUmmies suffer in real life, because no one on earth is more deserving. Every one of them should suffer a lingering, painful death, and post daily about it until the end.

The only negative is that DUmmies lie, all the time. So, when they post a whine about having some terminal illness, the entertainment value is reduced by the knowledge that they're almost certainly lying.

Notice that no one on this thread would choose Pam Dawson, who has claimed to be on her deathbed for ages.

Hamburger Hill (Hill 937) has its roots going back to '66 when they (NVA) took a Special Forces Camp in the valley (A Shau).  Everything in that valley seemed to be hard luck, but in the case of Hill 937 IMO it was not bad luck, but some of the worst tactics employed in Vietnam.  It was a frontal assault on the hill top, which chewed up a LOT of folks, thus the Hamburger hill moniker.  I went in April of 68 or at least tried to go in...we came in on a 'sling' (Chinock') late in the day maybe day 2 or 3 into the battle.  We severe fire from .51 cal MG and were turned back due to systems being hit.  (on a funny note:  The guy next to me had taken off his flak jacket and was sitting on it.  It was double thick now.  We had a platoon size element aboard and were on approach when all hell broke loose, its was a radical ride, pilot got it under enough control to pull out and up over the mountains.  The guy next to me, comes out of his sling seat and is grabbin his azz and dancing around like crazy...a .51 MG rd had hit, gone thru the outer skin of the sling, up thru the seat and thru his flak jacket punturing his jungle fatigues and nailing him right in the azzhole.  The bullet was retained by the flak jacket he was sitting on but the point was made [no pun intended] and all he got was a burn from a very hot rd)  We get back to the LZ, coughing and smoking but we got back in spite of it.  I contacted higher and got shifted to another hotspot so never got back to the A Shau.

For you tactics guys there are some good books out there, but IMO someone should have got relieved for the debacle at Hamburger Hill...we finally take it but big losses that should not have occurred IMO.

So if you  want to know if the guy is for real, try this:  Ask him his Serial number...I have NEVER met a soldier who ever forgot it.  Prior to about 72 or so IIRC we were issued a serial #, after 72 we used our SS #.  My serial # was US 54761125, the US meant I was a draftee, if you joined or reenlisted you had a number that began with RA.  I have used this to flush a bunch of wanna be's from various forums over the years.  If they say I forgot, just not true, my dad remembered his from 1932, or if they say can't tell you its my SS# then they were late to the party after '72...

Yeah, that's a good flush.  I have outed quite a few simply by platoon/battalion assigned.  Amazing, the numbers and letters some people throw out.    You can trip them up with Brigade vs. Regiment also.  Caught a fake Marine that way once.

My fav of all time was this guy in our coffee break crowd...ALWAYS had war story, he was Special Forces.  I listened and listened, the more he talked the bigger the stories got...finally one day I asked for his serial number, well it was not US or RA, so I asked my dad...he was Air Force (forgot the prefix), then I started asking him about unit assignment, what AO's he worked etc he began stumbling like a drunk, I finally homed in on his serial # and said that is AF, they don't have any Special Forces (at that time) and finally introduced myself, I had been on the DMZ in Vietnam only a few months before...the guy broke down, started crying, admitted he had NEVER been to Vietnam, instead he was assigned to Special Services in the AF.  These guys do things like put on basketball games, and haul NFL players, baseball players etc around for shows and stuff, Bob Hope etc.  The guy never showed for a cup of coffee again...

Just the other day a guy posted about his Vietnam days, where he was at, when and then posted a picture of him there...he said he was in the An Lao Valley in late '68...we were not in the An Lao late in '68, we pulled out around Feb '68, I was there and in the last chopper to leave, we went over the mountains and worked off LZ Laramie running patrols back into the valley.  I asked what LZ was he working out of, he had no answer, well there were only 2, LZ Tape and LZ Mustang (105 Airborne Artry), I was on Tape a 2 plt size LZ.  Then I told him the pic he had was not taken in the An Lao Valley, I knew it like the palm of my hand, I was cross trained as Arty 13E Forward observer and knew the floor of that valley well having called in lots of Arty on bad guys.  His account was deleted...

Get'um and flush them...

I'm afraid that you're going to recognize your exploits in one of 11Boo's DUmp posts, with him as the warrior.

Don't be surprised.

[Airwolf]

11BooBoo was outed a long time back when I pointed out that he couldn't have been in the A Shau valley in 1970  because the Hamburger Hill fight took place in the 60's. I was assigned to the Battalion in the 101st that fought that battle and knew it well from the unit history and the museum display at the Don F Pratt Museum on post. 11 Boo Boo claimed he fought there and then later said he spent his Basic Training in 1972. He is as big a fake to be found on DU and he deserves to be exposed for it.

What I have always found amazing is that there is no shortage of info and data available, but these guys who make these claims always have dates, times, units etc wrong, as if they did not even bother to research the lie they are telling.

Another guy on another forum started talking about all his 'jumps' he made when he was over there.  I forget the number but it was staggering like 125 or something like.  IIRC there were only a very few jumps made at all over there that were considered combat jumps.  I did not have a chance to nail, but we had a paratrooper and Vietnam vet that tore into him like a bass hitting a minnow...he left the forum.

Just a few facts for the readers:  in our 10 years plus in Vietnam there were about 250 -300 K COMBAT soldiers who might have fought in the bloody arena, this is predom Infantry and small Arty such as 105mm units.  For every soldier out on the killing fields it take 10 - 20 support personnel.

TAKE AWAY:  The chances of you meeting a for real combat soldier, ESPECIALLY one who wears a CIB (Combat Infantry Badge) are RARE, there are not many of us.

MISSION:  In the military every man has a job, every job has a man and EVERYTHING has a MISSION.  ONLY the Infantry has this Mission:  "to close with and engage the enemy" This means, we go looking for the fight, that is our job.  NO ONE ELSE in the entire military has this mission.  The implied mission of the rest of the military is to support the Infantry.

If they are Infantry, fought on the killing fields they have a CIB, if they don't they didn't, simple as that...

Thank you very much, it is appreciated more than most would know or understand and yes God did bless me, he kept me safe and alive for nearly 15 months of hell...

[GOBUCKS]

I'm sure there have always been phony soldiers like numbersBoo, and TiT, and DUmoTex.

At the turn of the century there were probably millions who claimed to have been at Gettysburg.
