Someone you should know

[Peter1469]

An active duty marine and member of the CIA Special Activities Division’s Ground Branch:

Four people came to Pam’s door that night. One of them was Col. John Ripley, a mentor to Doug Zembiec, a family friend and a Marine legend.


“When the guys came to tell me that night . . . I was very angry,” Pam Zembiec said. “At the time I wanted to blame someone, and I blamed [the fact] that he wasn’t with his Marines.”


Zembiec’s job with the CIA meant that he was working with other Special Operations types and Iraqis, not the Marines with whom he had fought during his earlier deployment to Fallujah.


“I saw a lot of tough guys crying in that house,” said Elliot Ackerman, a friend who was in Marine Special Operations training when Zembiec was killed. “They cried for Doug, but because of where we were in the war I think they cried for themselves, too.”

I will remember his name, and pray that we all get to speak to him some day in the halls of Valhalla.

Didn't you admit to smoking pot? I am curious as to where yours comes from?

He died 7 years ago in operations with the CIA as it turns out. On a snatch and grab operation.

If you want to insult me and my religion, start a thread in the Hole and I'll be happy to join in your douchebaggery, but this is not the place.

That is not an insult. No idea why you went off on me. Is pot smoking part of a religion?
@Green Arrow

Just explain in a proper reply.
