RIP.
Marcinko was a bad ass...RIP
Good Bye, Demo Dick; Godspeed.
You’re Home now, American Warrior. RIP.
LOL…we had two SEAL teams and he named his “SEAL Team Six” to fool the Russkies. Love it!
What on earth was a guy that old doing on the Bin Laden raid? (I guess he really wanted to go.)
May the Sharkman of the Delta RIP.
RIP
Richard Marcinko wrote a lot of colorful books. The USN probably had half a dozen editors to make sure he didn’t accidentally leak classified information. At that level of exposure, I wouldn’t put it past them to have ghost written books fed through him, specifically to feed out fake info to bad guys.
Tom Clancy wrote convincingly enough so that foe and friend were fooled. There is intelligence value in that.
Ping.
Demo Dick.
Still have his novels.
RIP, my friend
It was. His telling of one of his parachute jumps had me laughing til I had tears in my eyes.
Demo Dick’s books are fantastic. RIP
A friend of mine was on his original Team 6.
I knew him over ten years before he told me.
Yes, that was the one I read first, (from memory I think that was his first, and a very interesting book) and after that he wrote a “lemon” that was not worth reading. I don’t remember the name of that one.
RIP.
“hunt down and kill Osama Bin Laden”
—————————————————————
Hunt down? Sone hunt. The CIA knew for quite some time exactly where bin Laden was. Obama had just simply been keeping bin Laden on ice until an opportune time presented itself to go and pick him up.
What most people don’t understand is that opportune time came as a direct result of Donald Trump pressuring obammie over his many false and fraudulent birth certificates. Obama ordered the pick up as a way to take the heat off his phony certificate scandal.
Simply put, Donald Trump was directly responsible for the capture of Osama bin Laden.
RIP
I was delighted to briefly meet Marcinko at the Blade Show about 13 years ago.
As I walked nearby, wondering how to approach him without being an idiot, this famous grizzled pockmarked killer came toward me - squealing & cooing with delight to meet my baby girl I was carrying in a sling.
I keep a signed copy of Rogue Warrior in my office desk. Top drawer. Thinking outside the box is essential, you just have to know the limits, which is where he ran into trouble.
A true American Patriot and a consummate warrior. Rest in Peace, Sir!
