Yon is attacking Jonn Lilyea and as usual getting his ass kicked (since there is no way he can rabbit punch Jonn in a bar), and he is also hassling TSO. Since I take the side of good MoFos against wankers, I will add my quarterly repost on Yon and ass-clownery here. Plus there is a nice bit of factual data to tie some of this together. It is a well-known fact that Mike Yon's military career was a debacle, a trainwreck, a sad, sorry spectacle that served as an object lesson (literally) about what can happen when you put paranoid, preening, narcissistic punks in positions that require judgment, maturity, responsibility and common sense. Wow, I could copy that bit for an Obama piece eh? But I actually knew about Mikey by bad reputation long before I knew him by name. When you graduate the Special Forces course there is a dinner where you are given your Girl Scout hat and sing the Ballad of the Green Berets. Before that dinner our Sr. Instructor pulled all the brand new weapons sergeants aside and told us not to get big heads and start acting like cowboys because back a few years when they still let you join SF right off the street some young punk got his beret and went off and got in a bar fight and punched some guy who hit his head on the ground and died. That punk was Mikey, and his short and embarrassing stint in SF was over before it even really began. What Lilyea show us is that Mikey was actually classified as Surplus for the last six months of his time. noun An amount or quantity beyond what is needed, desired, or appropriate: excess, fat, glut, overage, overflow, overmuch, overrun, overstock, oversupply, superfluity Well that is a pretty decent description of Mikey I must say, especially the not needed or desired or appropriate and the fat and glut parts, but allow me to add some context. The one thing we never had enough of in Group was people. During the time frame under discussion the entire SF community was woefully understrength (still is and always will be) and that is part of why 18 yr. old children like Mikey were allowed in. I never once deployed on a team with a full complement of all 12, and quite often we had to borrow specialties from other teams just to have enough dudes to be able to operate. So after graduating he spent about 15 months assigned to Ft. Devens trying to avoid going to prison for manslaughter, then got shipped off to Bad Tolz. He is still a very junior, completely-inexperienced, sub-FNG, but he is now in a forward unit with a screamingly high op-tempo. So in Jan of '86 he gets there and by the end of Jan 87, barely a year later, he is off a team and Surplus... Surplus FFS!. That means he was so useless that an A team would rather deploy without him, and maybe with no weapons guys at all, than take Mikey. WOW! You have to suck at a Thai lady boy level of proficiency to be such a POS that you aren't even worth dragging along just to guard the gear. The best part of these updates is knowing that Mike is now kicking and screaming in a drunken rage and telling his katoy what a lying SOB I am. But you see, he can't do a damn thing about it, because the truth will set me free. If any of this is not accurate I will trumpet my apology to the heavens while perched on the statue of Bronze Bruce at Ft. Bragg. Not gonna happen though, Mikey sucked, still sucks and will always suck, so help me, me. I know the guys at This Ain't Hell don't need me to cover them, but they shouldn't have to swat shit-flies all by themselves. Pesky camp-followers trying to raise money on the heroism of others annoy all decent people. Anyhow, while you are over at TAH have some fun with their signature, crowning glory the Ballduster McSoulpatch Memorial Stolen Valor Tournament. Yon isn't eligible because he is not a poseur, just a loseur.
