Based on the intellectual value of your post, I'd say Ollie North wouldn't even have to be awake to make you look especially stupid.

You have brilliantly punctured every aspect of my argument with your scintillating wit! Naturally, you have also displayed the courtesy of a true Freeper.

Of course, it was only my stupidity that got me through Princeton and Michigan Law. Now, I'm using my single brain cell to earn my Ph.D. in military history, where I did a review of Burrell's article only a few months ago. If only I could tie my shoe laces! However, if you want to get into the specifics of Burrell's work (which is not without some serious flaws), I'd be glad to.

If the mindless blather of Ollie on television isn't enough to cause you pain, read "Shadow Warrior" by Felix Rodriguez. Rodriguez, a profoundly anti-Communist Cuban emigre, spent twenty years in the CIA's paramilitary section, operating mostly in Central America and Africa. He did some work with Ollie in the 80s, and paints a pretty damning picture. Perhaps I should not believe a long-serving CIA field operative over a glory-seeking publicity hound. Yet, somehow, I can't help but find Rodriguez's observations to be quite consistent with the very public Ollie (tm) (patent pending) and his massive ego.

Ollie deserves credit for his military service, but military service does not immunize one from criticism. We all remember a nice pedophile by the name of Scott Ritter.

Stupidly Yours,

Seydlitz

It's very charming of you to try to justify stupid statements with the fact that you are a college grad, while the rest of us with only Associate Degrees at the most along with actual experience as Marines and several of us combat experience just sit in the background and sit in shamed silence.

Yes, your acumen and wit, your knowledge of several authors who disagree with public opinion of a man who was DRAFTED into the intelligence services and knowingly and admittingly had to be taught how to do it trial by fire using methods which ACTUALLY GOT THE JOB DONE in the international arena while following orders...

Who then while testifying about his experiences correctly surmised his testimony had to be the truth while under a grant of immunity and silenced his critics and caused a deluge of supportive telegrams during and afterwards, whose actions then have raised him to a higher hero status he already earned on the field of battle...

One which YOU will never attain yourself due to your intellectual approach to living and attempted discernment because you have no idea what it is like to do those things he did in the real world....

Since you claim that your Princeton Law and Michigan Law credentials allow you more knowledge on these topics, I would like to see the amicus brief you filed which details the circumstances of this knowledge and just how this law knowledge shows you know more than Ollie, are worth more than Ollie, and actually have a clue what it means to serve your country like Ollie did...

And you can't can you?

That's why you haven't got a clue what you just said.

Got it?

"Read "Shadow Warrior" by Felix Rodriguez. Rodriguez, a profoundly anti-Communist Cuban emigre, spent twenty years in the CIA's paramilitary section, operating mostly in Central America and Africa.

WOW! You mean this long-serving CIA field operative, who wrote a book about his exploits for profit, isn't seeking glory and publicity?

Maybe you should try to read "Blue's Bastards". It was written by a former enlisted Marine that served with LtCol North in Vietnam.

Coop, I get the distinct impression that Seydlitz, for all of his supposed intellect and higher education, wouldn't have lasted a minute in the FMF.
