First person experience of a Viet Nam Vet INTERESTING: MUDMARINE I am a VHCM member, I spent 12 months in Vietnam (147th CH47-CE) as most of us did. I am also a disabled veteran;

These 2 bolded sections from this email sets off red flags for this 22 year USMC veteran. This is supposedly about a "MUDMARINE" which means infantryman (grunt), but lists a unit name that is nothing like a Marine unit of Vietnam era; "147th CH47-CE". The US Army has units that are named with a 3 digit number and a 'th'; then whoever created this unit name added the US Army's heavy lift helicopter, CH47-CE.(the ones flown in Vietnam were CH-47C's).

USMC ground units are usually identified by a combination of Company, Battalion/Regiment, ie: "India 3/9" (I Company, 3rd Battalion/9th Marine Regiment) and helicopter units (composed of the aircrews and maintenance guys) who flew the grunts and their gear around were designated like this: "HMM-364" (Purple Foxes) or "HMH-361" (Flying Tigers).

Lastly he says he served 12 months in Vietnam. Marines were assigned 13 month tours of duty, not 12.

I am throwing the BS flag on this one.

May I help you out here.

Is there any other hoax checker upon which we can rely?

Barbara Mikkelson and her husband.

The left infiltrates almost everything (The American Psychiatric Association, Pediatrics, Libraries...associations and groups you would think should be neutral). The associations they don’t control, they crank up a drone of anger against (the Federalist Society, e.g.) or they slowly infiltrate (FOX News).

Blackfive is great on keeping up with this stuff. Thx!

Actually, I think there is a law somewhere that all organizations not emphatically Conservative will eventually become Liberal. Don’t remember what its called, but it seems to be accurate.
