I’ve been here 12 years and I have no idea what or who a Hurtgen Forest is!!!
People keep refering to it/her/him but never what or who it is!
It is mentioned above but the poster with the screen name “deep in the Hurtgen Forest” pretended to be a Special Forces guy on deployment many years ago and got a lot of sympathy for situtational distance etc from various Freepers. Sneakypete and others with SF experience began to doubt his bonafides and some conflict occured as some rose to his defense.
He finally admitted to being a poser and gave a goodbye that was part bittersweet apology and part rationalizing. I think he/they got started carrying out the charade and didn’t expect the sincere fellowship getting to him/them.
Sometimes in referencing that whole chain people will refer to “Deep” or “DTHF” to reference that poster and the whole charade.
