It is become quite clear that Reaper 6 is a serial liar and Andrew J. Rafkin is a co-conspirator in those lies.

Sure, TS; I read it -- but that was a while back. The report was published on thisainthell, and I copied it from there. I forgot that you sent your research to them.

Allow me, then, to assuage the fevor'd brow, and add original citation [and kudos!] to you.

Sorry for the unintended slight.

mea máxima culpa.... [striking breast three times]

*"The Optio was appointed by a Centurion from within the ranks to act as his second in command." That's the closest I can find to Team Sergeant.

LOL, well done. The reason I send stuff to Jonn is the more coverage on a fraud the better.......

I'm going to see what I can do to "turn up the volume on Reaper 6 & Andrew J. Rafkin

[Bloodline]

Andrew J. Rafkin the liar wrote a blog entry about the ficticious Reaper 6 on book review site. Looks like Larry Fitzgerald is faking 11 Purple Hearts! That would be the highest number ever awarded to any American and could have been easily verified if Andrew J. Rafkin wasn't ok with being liar.

A Sneak Peek at ‘Reaper 6′
June 8, 2012 By reviewer Leave a Comment
by Guest Blogger Andrew Rafkin
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.

I knew a SP5 who was the finest cook an alert crew could ever have & would lay down some serious brews for that guy if I saw him today. For some it just ain't enough.

Now the commenters on the various sycophant blogs are getting into the action.

Reaper 6 Andrew J. Rafkin

I am surprised we didn't catch this fraud sooner:


A Top Secret Story of Unparalleled Fraud... Staff Sergeant Larry FitzGerald, aka "Reaper 6,"


Better late than never. I'm sure Reaper 6 Andrew J. Rafkin is feeling the heat by now. Any bets on how long until the book is changed to Fiction?

[Beef]

It really pisses me off that Andrew J. Rafkin said that Larry Fitzgerald was "unable to adjust to our society , like most of the veterans returning from the war." Most veterans of that war and these have just fine. My God, look at Crip! He's better adjusted than most people who work at Walmart. Rafkin not only lies, but insults veterans. Scum sucking, lying pieces of shit. Reaper 6, WTF?

[Team Sergeant]

Reaper 6 Andrew J. Rafkin

We got Andrew J. Rafkin's attention. Rafkin responded to another's email and said in that email that he would "re-publish the book as fiction".

We shall see.

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".

And like Larry, don't expect a whole lot of sympathy, you were told weeks after the book was published it was a lie and Larry FitzGerald was a liar.

BWA-Hahahahahahaah ..... boy! you just took me back to 1973.

11 Purlpe Hearts?
Fraud Fraud Fraud Fraud Fraud Fraud Fraud Fraud Fraud Fraud Fraud Fraud

Larry Fitzgerald [is] "unable to adjust to our society , like most of the veterans returning from the war."
Liar Liar Liar Liar Liar Liar Liar Liar Liar Liar Liar Liar Liar Liar Liar Liar

[Team Sergeant]

Andrew J. Rafkin also said in his email that he would remove the terms "Special Forces" and "Green Beret".

Andrew J. Rafkin I've not read the book but after reading the introduction, which is nothing but lies, any inference to the "Special Operations" community also needs to be removed.

And Andrew J. Rafkin, the term "Black Ops" is only used in Hollywood movies and children's video games. Something else you would know had you done your due diligence before writing your book.

[PRB]

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

Something got Rafkin's attention. But that later bandaid (i.e., "fiction/action-adventure") ain't going to fix the current wound inflicted passing off the story today as "...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...."

LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE

[Team Sergeant]

That email seems to be evolving.....

And I really, really believe "Larry the Liar" is going to give all his profits to the veterans suffering PTSD......

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,


Andrew J. Rafkin
