This guy, Strac6, hangs his fame on his service in Vietnam. He is a liar...and a troll.
I’m assuming you received his ‘extensive’ ‘creds’ as I did.
Strac6 aka Crystal Palace East; aka ASH aka Eschoir aka at least five other screen names is a hoaxer who has been banned from posting to this forum. Not once, but many times. He will be banned again soon.
HE WILL, WHEN CHALLENGED, PRETEND INNOCENCE. His use of multiple aliases is, itself a hoax. He is an electronic crasher who is here AGAINST THE EXPRESS WISHES OF THE OWNER OF THIS FORUM.
Attempting to engage him in debate plays into his hands. He is here to create dissent and to disrupt the Free Republic. That is his pattern and the reason his posting privileges have been banned.
Please DO NOT respond in any way to him.
