Forwarded from a post by MACVSOG68 on The Briefing Room. Arthur Ray "Sneakypete" Hines was a member on Free Republic during the site's early years, he left in 2003. His post history is here.

He best remembered in FreeRepublic's history as the poster who outed Deep in the Hurtgen Forest, DITHF as faking his military service, although that was only a small part of his life.
