This is America...
 

TS, greetings Sir. IMHO, that statement is true. Though I have run across those in the Industry who do care about such things as fact, integrity, and truth.
(Am looking through an old contact book for some info, will keep posted if I get a hold of anyone.)
Until then, if anyone is in Las Vegas and feels like a little Q & A? :lifter I found this on the web:

"CBS Corporation (NYSE: CBS and CBS.A) today announced that Leslie Moonves, President and Chief Executive Officer, will participate in a question and answer session as a keynote speaker at Citigroup's 17th Annual Entertainment, Media and Telecommunications Conference on Wednesday, January 10, 2007. The session will begin at 1:30 PM Pacific Standard Time."

It would be a total waste of time. As you noted, "those in the Industry" dont care about, "such things as fact, integrity, and truth."

LOL! Thanks Brian I'm writing that one down! :lifter

You are correct, and Thank You for Your Service.

Regarding Delta; anyone know about the recruiting video that got out on the internet? I´ve seen it, and lots of people can be clearly seen in it (persec).
Any idea what the reactions were on the vid leaking?

Sure and would you also like the nuclear launch codes and maybe a cup of tea with that request?

Christophe, do you read much on this site concerning that unit? Let me answer that for you, no. There's some things we do not discuss in "public" and this would fall under that category.

Please feel free to ask your question on the "other" military boards, you know where the teenagers and tin foil hat people enjoy answering all the questions but have never actually worn the uniform themselves.

Better yet write Foxnews and ask Ranger "haney" as he does not seem to care about OPSEC or PERSEC.

Have a nice day,

Team Sergeant

Can you PM me with them?

I hear there's a market for them on E-Bay... ;)

TS,
Message understood; I appologise.

Could I have a beer instead of that cup of tea? ;)

The episode they aired here tonight had the SGM shooting his buddy in the back in the Darien because he went rogue or something. All about the FARC and Panama, etc.

Coincidence?

I don't believe in coincidence!

Very interesting Thread Gents..Surly the Network will eventuality Bow down to this pressure and cope on to the Fact, that Hundreds can't be wrong over one Guy??

Or do the Care about their Fighting Men??

AFN already dropped the show. We got it all last season, but after the first show this season the program just mysteriously "vanished" from the line-up without explanation!

Ranger haney has very few friends left in the Special Operations community. Happens to everyone that "sells" their integrity. Come to think of it I've not seen him on Fox news in a long long time either.......

What comes around goes around.....

TS

I take it ,you Guys don't give second chances to Folk who "sells" their integrity??:boohoo

Stupid is as stupid does.

We ask no quarter and none will be given.

If it can be sold it is NOT Integrity, nor Honor.

I used to read books all the time. Now that I have the errornet, a backyard range, and 300 channels of satellite TV, I read maybe 10 books a year. Examples lately: Cold Zero, Bravo Two Zero, Six Minutes to Freedom, 13 Cent Killers, Double Jeopardy, Dead Center. I keep a few in reserve. One of these is Inside Delta Force. There's enough BS in "real" memoirs without wasting time on total BS.

Should I:

1. sell it to an Airsofter?

2. donate it to a thrift shop?

3. test the effects of 556 M193 on it?

Hanging it in the outhouse would allow it to fulfil its most fitting purpose.

TR

Integrity is like virginity...

Once you lose it you can never get it back.

And nobody wants to hear the excuses.

It is timely that I am just finding this thread as my wife only recently asked me whether the show truly mirrors life and, if so, how comes it is on tv. Couldn't answer her question, but I do have Haney's book and echo all that has been said here regarding the stroking of his ego and seemingly detailed illustrations of what should be a closely-held group. Above being said, I don't recall him identifying himself as SF. I definitely recall him talking up his Ranger days, but can't recall a mention of him having served in SF. Assume he must have stated this in other channels?

Let's just say that's there's more than one soldier on this board that has served in the same unit as eric haney and the crap portrayed on tv is as real as most urban legends.

It seems eric haney has not "denied" the fact he's not or has ever been a Special Forces soldier when asked by the media. I take it he does not care to set the record straight either.

He's not the only one making money off the reputations of Special Forces soldiers.

TS

Can you say Why he didn't go onto a 18 MOS?

Who said that he didn't want to, but couldn't hack it?

We have pretty high standards.

Not sure that Mr. Haney would make the grade.

TR

I see..Thanks for the Clarification;)

I never doubted you Guys had the highest of standards..

"Who said that he didn't want to, but couldn't hack it?

We have pretty high standards.

Not sure that Mr. Haney would make the grade."

I don't understand. He made it into "that" unit, but he possibly couldn't hack as a QP? So does "that" unit have lower standards.

I know for a fact that some unit members attempted SFQC and failed. We will leave it at that.

eric haney has never been or ever will be a Special Forces soldier.
