I tried to tell you guys that you were walking all over your dicks and didn't even know it.

Charlie,
Let me defend the guys here, not that they need my help. They were first befriended, then burned by Ronnabee the wannabee. So they looked at new guys coming here saying something they thought was unlikely based on what they had been led to believe in the past as being questionable at best.
Mike just happened to stumble into a hornet's nest that was the result of how Ronnabee abused friendships on this forum. It looks to me from reading some of the ancient history about Ronnabee as though guys here, guys that were friends before Ronnabee, were starting to question themselves or others about who knew what when. What a shame.
If it would have been me that signed up here before Mike, I am sure that they would have been all over me like ugly on an ape. I was way younger than Mike when I went in SF and was in the Army just over two years -- highly unlikely. But it wasn't me, it was Mike, so he became the lightly rod.
Then a bunch of Mike's long-time friends like you came to his aid. That made the FOGs here, with the memories of Ronnabee still fresh, lash out thinking that they may have another wannabee, possibly even a single guy signing in as multiple people, and maybe even Ronnabee himself trying to get back at the guys on this forum, disrupting things here.
The more I read about this Ronnabee, the more I see what trouble he has caused here, on PF-2 and elsewhere, as well as for Mike.
Yes some things were said here that folks regretted, but apologized. I am all for moving on and letting the mistakes of the past be forgotten.
Like you, I knew Mike in Viet Nam and I was ready to defend him, but by the time I came here to see what all the fuss was about, Doc, and maybe one or two others, stated that Mike was the real deal and everyone was moving on. I saw no reason for me to make trouble over the farmboy issue, but then I started reading about Ronnabee...
I, for one, would like to see Mike get back active here and on PF-2 and let's move on.
As for Ronnabee and other wannabees, let's keep ever vigilant and hold their feet to the fire. All they are doing is stealing the valor of others, all the while turning read deal guys against one another.

PS: I warned y'll a few weeks ago --don't get me started on wannabees.
