Another book that is a complete lie.....

Staff Sergeant Larry FitzGerald, aka "Reaper 6"

Seems "Staff Sergeant" Larry FitzGerald was actually discharged as a PFC.... (I have a copy of the FOIA.)

Andrew J. Rafkin has been contacted and told Larry FitzGerald is a complete fraud, but he doesn't seem to care.

This is a case of Stolen Valor, where both parties know it's a lie/fraud and both are making money off of stupid people.


Staff Sergeant Larry FitzGerald, aka "Reaper 6"

A Top Secret Story of Unparalleled Heroism... Staff Sergeant Larry FitzGerald, aka "Reaper 6," of the U.S. Army Special Forces, led a special Black Ops team deployed to Vietnam in 1965. He reported to only two men: General Westmoreland and General Abrams, who were in command of the U.S. Armed Forces. His first assignment-a suicidal mission to assassinate four enemy generals in Laos who were planning the 1967 Tet invasion-was never disclosed to the media or the public. General Westmoreland stated that Sergeant FitzGerald deserved the Medal of Honor, and nine additional Purple Hearts, but unfortunately, most of his missions were conducted across the fence of South Vietnam, in Cambodia, Laos, and North Vietnam. In fact, all of his missions were classified, clandestine, and denied. They have not been disclosed until now. Reaper 6 is the only biography of this extraordinary soldier's life, capturing the very sights, sounds, and smells of the Vietnam War. Today, Larry is the proverbial "last man standing" of 89 souls who went where lesser soldiers shouldn't dare.

10-16-2013, 08:09
From one of the 5-star reviews:

I have known Larry for three years now. We are both officers of the American Legion post 311. When I first met Larry, I told him of my brother's stories of his time in Vietnam and how he had PTSD. The end to my brother's story was suicide. Larry told me many of his stories and made me swear to never reveal these stories to anybody. Andrew Rafkin knew these stories had to be included in the book and I feel that these stories gave closure to Larry. And I pray that he will never find closure in suicide as my brother had used. As I read this book, it was as if I was having Larry sitting there telling me these stories again. With Andrew's help in writing these stories, Larry was able to find closure in the writing of these stories. If there are any veterans that have had experiences like Larry's in other countries, Larry would like to hear from you. Please write to Larry at American Legion Post 311, 44355 40th St. East, Lancaster, CA, 93535. I would like to thank Andrew for writing this book and giving such an accurate account of Larry's life experience. I would highly recommend this book to any adult who would like to know the truth about the secret missions of the Vietnam war.

This is the biggest piece of fictional crap ever written about MACV-SOG's works in Viet Nam. It's just literary gibberish from someone who had never been there. Too much trash to count. Do not waste your money on it. Rafkin had been had big time by his "friend" Fitzgerald, I deducted.

Fictiious facts in the book:

- Seven-storied underground MACV HQ at Long Binh: Known as the Pentagon West, MAVC was headquarter in a compound called DAO, located next to Saigon's Tan Son Nhat joint military-civilian international airport. My family and I was evacuated from there on the last day of April 1975. It was a single-story compund.
- Mission to eliminate Communist generals: Never happened! Biggest bs ever.
- Eliminating a VNAF's general and his cohorts in a compound next to the US Embassy in Saigon: Outrageous product of imagination. I was one of a handful of VNAF generals so I should know.
- Rafkin called MACV-SOG as Special Operations Group. No, SOG stood for Studies and Obsrvation Group. I flew with them many times.
- Rafkin explained CCN as Combat Control North. Nope! It was Command Control North.
- Too many errors to account for in his piece of crap.

Allow me to translate:

Poser extrodinaire has used up every ounce of creativity he has making up the BS stories in his last "book" and is in need of stories he can steal and claim as his own. Please ensure that you use correct spelling and grammer in any submission as Larry is just going to do a find and replace in Word substituting your name for reaper 6 and send it on to his publisher who is too busy making fake Amazon reviews to actually read anything that gets sent to him.

Everyone involved in this "book" should look into a second career as a transporter of the excrement of the bovine specie using wooden handled flat bladed hand tool. They are obviously experts.

I just finished my next book Reaper 6, the true story of Staff Sergeant Larry FitzGerald, the leader of a thirty-man black ops team that was deployed to Vietnam in 1966. After three tours, and receiving eleven Purple Hearts, Larry returned to the States unable to adjust to our society, along with most of the veterans coming home from war.

Andrew J. Rafkin you and "Larry the Liar" need to apologize to the veterans community.

"Larry the Liar" isn't "suffering" from PTSD if he can "make up" such lies.

Private First Class Larry FitzGerald, aka "Larry the Liar" can find "sympathy" in the dictionary right between "Shit" and "Syphilis".

Andrew J. Rafkin so much for "Due Diligence" .

Andrew J. Rafkin when we see the apology and the re-publishing effort on "your" website and on Amazon.com (my guess that's your number one distributor) I'll stop the charge, until then expect a deluge of internet smack-downs concerning your non-fiction "book".

Seems he's gotten so many emails he has a "To Whom it May Concern" locked and loaded.

To Whom it May Concern,





I am Andrew Rafkin, author of Reaper 6. This notice is in response to the flagrant and misguided attacks on Amazon reviews, Green Beret web page, and a couple of internet marketing sites.


First and foremost, I have nothing but tremendous respect for all men and women who have served in our military, and the highest admiration for all Special Forces who have gone the extra mile to protect the country we hold so dear.


If you have read the book, you know that I recently ran into Larry FitzGerald, a childhood friend, after not having seen him in over 40 years. Larry had a compelling story to tell and expressed an interest in having me write it. I accepted the challenge.


I wrote REAPER 6 as it was told to me, using artistic license only to maintain a fast pace and hold the reader’s attention. I want to make it perfectly clear that I never conspired with Larry to write Reaper 6 with the intent of exploiting our Veterans, or to pursue monetary gain.


In fact, once expenses are covered, half of the proceeds from REAPER 6 are being donated to support PTSD and TBI services. Larry made it clear from Day 1 that all he wants this book to accomplish is help for the vets - plain and simple


It is unfortunate that everything posted on the internet remains there. I am 100% secure in the integrity of our goals for this book, and that it is essential to honor and respect all Veterans. To make it clear that we are adamant on this point, I have decided to re-publish Reaper 6 classified as FICTION, GENRE: ACTION/ADVENTURE.


My decision to make this category tag change to REAPER 6 is to honor the respect due to all veterans, and to preserve the excellent reputation I have maintained throughout my life.


Sincerely,



Andrew J. Rafkin

Andrew Rafkin now you're calling real Green Berets "flagrant and misguided" yet defending Larry the Liar? Larry's not the only one with "issues".



To whom it may concern,

I am Andrew Rafkin, author of Reaper 6. This is a response to the flagrant and misguided attacks on me on Amazon reviews, Green Beret web page, and a couple of internet marketing companies.

First, I have nothing but tremendous respect for all men and women who have served in our military, and the highest respect for all Special Forces who have gone the extra mile to protect the country we hold so dear.

If you would have read the book you would know that I ran into Larry FitzGerald a couple of years ago, and had not seen him in over 40 years. He had a compelling story to tell and expressed an interest in me writing his story, and I accepted the challenge.

I wrote the story as it was told to me, only using my artistic license to create a realistic atmosphere, and to maintain a fast pace to hold the reader’s attention.

I want to make it very clear that I never conspired with Larry to write Reaper 6 with the intent of exploiting our Veterans and all readers of this book for monetary gain.

Larry and I agreed to split the royalties, after publishing expenses were covered. That hasn’t happened yet, but Larry intended to use his share to help Vietnam Vets suffering with PTSD.

I don’t trust everything that is sent over the internet, and I had no reason to not believe Larry’s story. I wasn’t in the Army and never went to Vietnam.

It is unfortunate that everything posted on the internet remains there. So I decided to re-publish Reaper 6, CLAIFIED AS FICTION, GENRE: ACTION/ADVENTURE. FUTHHER, I WILL DELETE THE TERM “SPEICAL FORCES” AND “GREEN BERET” THAT WERE MENTIONED ONCE IN THE BOOK.

I am not doing this because I feel Larry or I did something wrong, or admission to any accusations posted on the internet.

My decision to make these changes to Reaper 6 is to honor the respect of all veterans, and to maintain the excellent reputation I have maintained throughout my life.


Sincerely,

REAPER 6

A Top Secret Story of Unparalleled Heroism
Staff Sergeant Larry FitzGerald, aka "Reaper 6," of the U.S. Army Special Forces, led a special Black Ops team deployed to Vietnam in 1965.

He reported to only two men: General Westmorland and General Abrams, who were in command of the U.S. Armed Forces. His first assignment—a suicidal mission to assassinate four enemy generals in Laos who were planning the 1967 Tet invasion—was never disclosed to the media or public.

General Westmorland stated that Sergeant FitzGerald deserved the Medal of Honor, and nine additional Purple Hearts, but unfortunately, most of his missions were conducted across the fence of South Vietnam, in Cambodia, Laos, and North Vietnam. In fact, all of his missions were classified, clandestine, and denied. They have not been told until now. Reaper 6 is the only biography of this extraordinary soldier's life, capturing the very sights, sounds, and smells of the Vietnam War. Today, Larry is the proverbial "last man standing" of 89 souls who went where lesser soldiers shouldn't dare.

Just today ten to twelve individuals (many probably veterans) hit amazon.com and left their comments about Reaper 6 & Andrew J. Rafkin.

My advice to Andrew J. Rafkin author of Reaper 6, make an announcement on your websites ASAP.

Still listed as History-Viet Nam on Amazon, though. Sad.

Rafkin also has a huge twitter following and a FB page. Today is NOV 1st and it's been weeks since we engaged him on the internet, he's sending emails, so is a "tweet" or "statement on FB" that hard to do?

Reaper 6 Andrew J. Rafkin we are not amused and we waiting and watching. The "real" Green Berets.

Reaper 6 Andrew J. Rafkin

You know this guy has a Twitter account, a FB page, his own website etc and not one of them has made on comment about his book of lies.

Andrew J. Rafkin your emails mean nothing, just hollow words. You continue to be active on both Twitter and FaceBook, you continue to quote real soldiers on your Twitter account.

You are nothing more than a bottom feeding scumbag and I will keep this thread about your book of lies high on the search engines until you publically announce your book is a work of fiction.

Andrew J. Rafkin author of Reaper 6 I've no idea how you look yourself in the mirror to shave.
