I missed you as I was in Germany from late 1970 to early 73, countering the Soviet threat.

Never worked with you guys, the SeaDevils, but I heard of you and youall did some good work.

I worked with some Airforce choppers, Pedro and Jolly Greens, and some Army med-evac Dustoffs.

Thanks for the correction.

I was involved with a lot of 'wierd' things back then, some of them still classified, but my work with the C-123 Ranch Hand, Agent Orange operation, is not classified, though some of it is indeed "off the record".

That's because HC-7 was known as "The Big Mothers" then.

686 - Sorry - my Navy time I was on a Destroyer Escort and in an Air Anti-Sub squadron in US and Gitmo. My Navy work in the war was mostly limited to fast movers and Laos and my work with the Laotian Forestry Service.

Could it have been Operation Sea Dragon, or perhaps SeaWolfs I was thinking of. It seems to me Big Mothers were SAR choppers, like our Jolly Greens.

I wasn't in the much contact with the Navy rescues, only Air Force rescues of Navy fast mover pilots in Laos (HoChi Min trail bombing), and USAF rescues and an occasional Army one in the Delta.


It's been a long time now - over 30 years.

Wow - time is moving faster. Must update that to up to 36 years ago.

...so, you prefer rapacious capitalism and anarchy and dictatorship.

You can stuff your psychotic strawman arguments up your lumpy Stalinist ass. I said no such thing.

"You can stuff your psychotic strawman arguments up your lumpy Stalinist ass. I said no such thing."

Ah, so you disagree with your cohorts, the free-traitors, who are arguing against any restrictions on corporations?

That's what they are arguing in support of.

Then, for what are they arguing?

All their arguments I have seen protest any restrictions on corporations, period. No restrictions on making money, no matter how it is earned. Their sole duty is to make money.

You understand not a whit about capitalism. You have no clue between the duty that governs corporate behavior and the laws that restrict it. In short, rhetoric aside, you really are a Stalinist. Congratulations.

I have a big clue. You apparently have no clue of what arguments the free-traitors here have put forth, time and time again, against any restriction on corporations, or any morality, nothing is important except making money.

And if you don't believe me, you search this thread for any thing contrary, where the free-traitors say corporations have another single responsibility, other than making money.

It's your argument, you make it (if you can).

Rabid capitalism in Stalin's Russia?! Hello Stalin was the SECOND communist dictator in Russia, and the commies over threw a fudal lord. There hadn't been even a hint of capitalism in Russia for at least 50 years by the time Stalin came around much less rabid capitalism. Rent a clue dude, I'll take up a collection just to show what a nice guy I am.

Then you need to learn to read. I NEVER said there should be no restrictions period. Never, not once, not even close to it. You and Havoc tried to force that position on us, but that's YOUR strawman, not our actual position. Guess you're just as big a lying POS as Havoc.

BING BING BING BING BING. Give the man a cigar, you get it. Thanks, sometimes I start to think I'm the one with the problem, then somebody like you shows up and proves I actually did write what I thought I wrote.
