Michael is a great guy and a proud soldier. They ended his leave early and sent him to Iraq for his third tour. I hope he is not too seriously injured. He began his FReeping career by running into a protest of the Oscars and joined in.

I thought it was bogus when you first reported it...sounded just like a glory hound...

Different strokes for different folks, but I didn't post a vanity when I went to the mideast and I didn't post a vanity when I came back two years later, let alone a single post six weeks after joining.

And I can EASILY prove I was there.

So his name is 'Michael Pierce'. He's currently a 'Captain in Special Ops Command'. He can't spell 'Al Qaeda'. Claims recent 'attacks are not being publicized for some reason'. Also, he is active in political protests.

This is without a doubt the first time I have ever seen such a person release their full name and association with Special Ops on an internet forum....

That is simply not done. I still don't believe it.
