A good soldier does not get emotional. Name calling is extremely childish.

I know you are not trying to say a vetted QP here is a Fraud. Listen you are in our house and I think you need to back down or your life here is going to be short lived.

I have gotten enough help via PMs to determine whether or not the individual claiming to be a Nam Vet is for real or not. Being short lived on this forum doesn't concern me in the least. What I see here are a bunch keyboard warriors. None of you would have survived in my unit in Vietnam.

Dusted off an old book on Vietnam, (cough, cough).

Hamburger Hill (more than one).

Co B 2/205, 101st Abn., Hill No. (937) May 10- May 20, 1969

Another hill,...

173rd Abn., 3-22 Nov. 1967 Dak to, Vietnam Hill No. (875), only 7 US losses

another hill,...

(882) Nov., 18th 1967

another hill,...

(823),....

Seems there are a lot of hills in Vietnam, not surprising.

After re-reading the thread, not sure how "February" came up or what importance it carries, not quite sure how Jun 10th matters for the 101st Abn, minus an anniversary date, plus, from June 1944 and a commanders replacement after friendly fire, Europe.

I do know Dusty is a QP, pretty sure I am.

herdDoc came here asking for help in outing a possible poser, his neighbor. I'm ready to help if needed.

herdDoc, thank you for your service to this nation.

HerdDoc:

This is an SF board.

The rules clearly explain that. The requirement to fill out your profile and to introduce yourself with your first post were explained there as well.

They also mention that if you step on the toes of the SF members, since this is their house and you are a guest, you will lose.

Bottom line is that you need to act respectfully and avoid pissing contests till you have gotten a feel for the board.

If you just joined PS.com for the one background check and to engage in a few minor skirmishes with the QPs, you are done. If you continue to troll, you will lose this forum as a resource when you find your next poser.

Your call, but if you plan to stick around I would turn my SA on and play nicely with the QPs and staff.

Finally, I would avoid the trash talking about the survival of board members in combat. Many of them have several times the number of combat tours that you do, in a much more austere environment to boot.

Best of luck, regardless.

"Interests
Skyding, Low Light Photography"

Years ago I did some skydiving myself. I have never done "skyding" however. What exactly is that?

Gee, Thanks for the heads up asshole. Out door is over there.........------->

There are plenty of folks here willing to help you with your neighbor if you decide that you can follow some simple instructions. All you have to do is conform instead of confront........But then again, Maybe YOU are the P-rick..........

Stay or go, decision is yours.............

Nevermind.

Does anyone on this board know who Leo Kryske was? I kind of doubt it but thought I would ask.

While you're waiting; do you remember a redheaded soldier named Gelwix in your unit?

alelks · 01-14-2011, 19:30

This guy?

"Last night I pulled up the website of the US Army Golden Knights Alumni. The Golden Knights are the Army's Elite Parachute Demonstration Team. I asked the President in an Email if he knew a guy named Leo Kryske. These guys are all in their mid 70s or so now. He wrote back and said, yes, he did. He went on to tell me that Kryske had been killed in Nam. I wrote back to him and said, yes, I know, I was there. I was the medic that attempted to save his life.

Leo Kryske at the time of his death was rather famous in the Army for being a Golden Knight and a member of the Special Forces. He was in my unit in Vietnam, the 173rd Airborne Brigade.

Anyway, the team members knew Kryske had been killed but did not know the details. So, I have been going back and forth since last night with two of Kryske's former team members and explaining to them what had happened that day on August 25th, 1968. I remember that day because it is also my mom's birthday.

The attached photo is of Kryske the day he made his 2000th Freefall parachute jump. They sent this to me. Apparently all these guys were on his team. The guy on the far left is George, the guy I have been talking to. He was a platoon leader in my unit and his platoon had the highest kill count that year in Nam in the 506 valley and Ia Drang valleys.

I explained to him that we had climbed to the top of Hill 506 above the 506 valley with very little resistance. I think we killed two gooks on the way up and we did it quietly. They never knew we were there. We set up a fire support base on top of the mountain once we had secured it. Helicopters brought in artillery and various things like that and we dug in on top of the mountain. It was several days later that my platoon went out on a patrol and I had stayed behind on top of the hill because I could barely walk due to an infection I had gotten on my legs. Several of us were just "hanging out", sounds like todays teenagers. ha ha I heard the distinct sound of an AK-47 and the lead that comes from it's mouth. Leo went down as did we all but Leo did not get back up. He had taken a bullet through the head. We later found the sniper and arranged for him to take the big dirt nap beginning immediately."

Whoa . . . the drugs have taken effect. Wet Dog, take a knee. All we have is his word for how he won the war.

I say pull the plug on the former Big-'ol-jet-air-liner-driver. It's not like it was a C-130!
I don't care if he does have a 40 mission crush cap. I don't like being treated like a stewardess. And I don't like the way he treats all of us like tourist-class outa Bogata.

Bye bye.

Pink means I'm teasin'

That is a photo of Kryske, the one on the top, and the other photo is one of myself the last week of August 1968 at the bottom of Hill 506.

Isn't Google just grand. Bottom line, no one on here knew who Kryske was.

Look DickFace, I don't recall saying anything about winning any wars. I will leave the chestbeating to keyboard warriors such as yourself. You would be lucky to qualify to be a Stewardess.
