Seldom do I waste time with rebutting articles, and especially not from publications like Rolling Stone. Tuesday, numerous people sent links to me of the latest Rolling Stone tripe. The story is titled “The Kill Team, The Full Story.” It should be titled: “BULLS**T, from Rolling Stone.”
The story—not really an “article”—covers soldiers from 5/2 Stryker Brigade Combat Team (SBCT) in Afghanistan. A handful of soldiers were accused of murder. It does in fact appear that a tiny group of rogues committed premeditated murder. I was embedded with the 5/2 SBCT and was afforded incredible access to the brigade by the Commander, Colonel Harry Tunnell, and the brigade Command Sergeant Major, Robb Prosser. I know Robb from Iraq. Colonel Tunnell had been shot in Iraq.
The brigade gave me open access. I could go anywhere, anytime, so long as I could find a ride, which never was a problem beyond normal combat problems. If they had something to hide, it was limited and I didn’t find it. I was not with the soldiers accused of murder and had no knowledge of this. It is important to note that the murder allegations were not discovered by media vigilance, but, for instance, by at least one soldier in that tiny unit who was appalled by the behavior.
A brigade is a big place with thousands of soldiers, and in Afghanistan they were spread thinly across several provinces because we decided to wage war with too few troops. Those soldiers accused of being involved in (or who should have been knowledgeable of) the murders could fit into a minivan. You would need ten 747s for the rest of the Brigade who did their duty.
I was with many other soldiers from 5/2 SBCT. My overall impression was very positive. After scratching my memory...

If RS wants to gain credibility in reporting, it should investigate Obama’s legal eligibility.
Thank goodness for reporters like Michael Yon. We need more views for input!

Neither the video nor the photographs provide proof that those killed were “unarmed civilians”, as Rolling Stone claims.
Good for Yon. One of the finest
I agree. So is the “report”of atom bombs in American cities a hoax. Why should the NWO destroy the best part of its future empire and leave it radioactive?
Really Stoned Mag
authoritative source? for news?
maybe they’re just having flashbacks to ‘Nam
Something written in Rolling Stone is about as influential as a high school newspaper. The few that may read it have no potential for examination of fact, they are waiting to be told what to think.
I need to find a source that will tell me who all advertises in Rolling Stone. I’m not about to buy a copy just to find out what advertisers to avoid. I have to wonder if there are even any advertisers in there that would have a product or service of interest to a 70-year-old WASP.
See who advertises online.
Actually, I think the issues of the NWO and the threats posed by Al Qaeda are polar opposites instead of some kind of joined cabal. My guess is that the Jihadist threat scares the living SH** out of the NWO elites, because they are unable to either control or direct the insane actions of the baby rapin' camel jockeys. I also suspect the NWO elitists don't quite know what to do or even know if there IS anything that they can accomplish in this arena even with all their power and collective wealth. They know, too, that they are simply rich infidels to the followers of OBL. Targets. Just like the rest of us. But I do agree that the nuke rumors are totally false. If they had even one, they'd have used it long ago. Probably right here in my neck of the woods in South Florida.
