Hendrix was Army’s 101st Airborne Division.

Think he’d be happy that Obeyme is using his coat tails?

Hendrix was Army’s 101st Airborne Division.

According to wikipedia:

Honorably discharged after one year for "unsuitability".Considered subpar by commanders and fellow soldiers,His record contained numerous infractions.

I don't know about anybody else but I managed to complete my entire hitch,always received decent fitness reports (I certainly never deserved a "Soldier Of The Year" award) and was never written up *once*.

But still,you've gotta admit that Jimi's military record was far better than is Osama's.

You may want to investigate Hendrix’s military service.

Hendrix was a disgrace as a soldier. He was a criminal prior to his service and was given a choice: prison or the military. He chose the latter.

He was an inferior soldier in every way. Sleeping on duty, poor marksmanship skills, etc. He was only in the army for a year. His CO requested his discharge.

Yeah, I think Hendrix would be glad to have O'Dummy on board.
