No apology necessary. We both know how klintoon and klowns let our soldiers down.

Funny how “Halfasprin” died shortly after the Somalia debacle.

Klintoon the POS, allowed the heroic deceased Ranger’s body to be dragged through the streets and did nothing. He also gave Adeed VIP protection afterwards, if I am not mistaken.

I retired prior to the (POS) draft dodging felon, who jimah carter pardoned in 1977 took office.

Respectfully,

You know, I’ve heard from an Army captain who was the head of a rifle platoon — supposed to have 39 men in a rifle platoon. Hmmmm..... Question for the Army types out there: is it usual for a platoon to be commanded by a captain?

Maybe it was an AFGHAN ARMY captian!! Or a SOMALIAN!

First thank you for your service.

It is instersting how many strange deaths surround Somalia. Adid died in a odd ambush and Garrison died a few days later. I know a few D-boys (two have worked for me over the years) and they will not tell me the truth about Adid's death. Some Rangers believe it was "Cliff" who did him. Cliff regularly appears on TV as a Special Operations expert. In the movies his character is the guy who heads back in after some grub and water. I have tired to meet Bowden several times to ask him who he thought did it but I keep missing him at events.

I also want to thank Bowden for his years long effort to tell the story of the Rangers, D-boys and 160th SOAR. Without his persistence this battle would have been a footnote in history. I am very proud of those warriors and what they did.

Thank you Sir. I thank you as well for your’s. I will add, who ever neutralized Adid should be highly commended.

I know it was very difficult to serve during the time of Klintoon’s 8 years(reign of terror)

My spouse retired in 1999 and at the out-processing center the clerk inquired if she wanted her certificate of appreciation for her 21 years of service, signed by klintoon. My spouse informed him to place it in (file 13)for she wanted nothing with a draft dodger’s signature on it.

Bowden is the type of soldier that all his peers and others strive to emulate.

Take care my friend and please feel free to private email me.
Duty, Honor, Country
Respectfully,
NSNR
