One more grave to find and relieve myself upon before I pass.

Keith Idema and his actions did not reflect well on the Special Forces Regiment.

Yeah well, my mama has Alzheimer's and won't remember if I disobey her. Keith Idema damn near got my buddy Prenston G killed more than once. The first time was because Keith did not want to pay for a piece of "used clothing" from one of the pawn shops in Fayetteville. Keith was more interested in getting over on some guy trying to make an honest living than he was in doing the right thing or in keeping Prenston from being shot! What a pig!


As far as the AIDS thing - it only reiterates what a thoughtless no-account Keith Idema actually was. He cared nothing for anyone including himself. He was maybe "scary smart" in some ways but come down to it the shitheel was a moron and a no-account asshole. There, I've spoken ill of the dead and I don't care one bit. He deserves no better. As a matter of fact, SHITHEEL should be on his tombstone. I regret that he had bragging rights to the same beret as the most honorable men in this country. So there...G'dammit!
