Tweety from moonshiners

Has anyone watched the new episode of Moonshiners? I ask because there is an individual on there nick named tweety and they (The Discovery Channel) keep saying how he (Tweety) was a Vietnam Special Forces Commando. Just wanted to see if anyone worked with him back in the day.

I watched the episode with Tweedy. I was surpised when he pulled out his revolver and shot at a cottonmouth while under stealth conditions. Not very "quiet".

I recently watched an episode and they weren't very "stealthy" either. During daylight hours they started a fire in a steel drum that sent a tremendous amount of smoke billowing through the air. If I were them I would also have tried to mask my identity a little better. At least the Sheriff who was on their trail didn't look very intelligent.

The dumbest people on that show are the LEOs...or at least that is how they come off. I mean if they can't catch those inbred hilly-billies: building fires, driving around with a 1000 milk jugs in the back of their truck, diggin big ass holes (that fill up when it rains) then who can the "revenuers" catch????

Still a better show than Dual Survivor or Amish Mafia…Discovery is really slipping!
