Mr. Patton,
Thank you for your interesting article on CSM Plumley – I just read it over on Fox.com. However, I believe your work has been edited without your knowledge; “Actor Sam Elliot played the role of the *infamous* non-commissioned officer, Command Sergeant Major Plumley.” (emphasis mine)
While I doubt I’ve spent as much time researching CSM Plumley as you have, I have never come across any information that would warrant the use of “infamous” in describing his character.
Otherwise an excellent piece.
Thanks for the work.
Kerry, it’s been a loooong time since I “escorted” you and the boys (and a couple of girls) to CRC; how you doing? Looks as though you’ve remained busy, and are doing well.
Funny no mention in your bio about being a “combat disabled veteran” or any mention of actual military service at all for that matter. I wonder why? I smell BS here
Hey Phil,
Take your Alex Jones conspiracy antics elsewhere. Thanks for stopping by and leaving the note, troll. But if you want my DD Form 214 and VA records you can kiss my ass.
Phil,
Not that you require any sort of response, I can tell you that I served with Kerry as did plenty of other patriots who converse with Kerry. The fact that you can question him is your prerogative and your right but next time, use that thing called the frontal lobe of your brain and do some deeper analytical thinking. Your questioning his service tells me you’re jealous of him. Don’t be jealous. Appreciate his service and dedication to our country and move the f-on to some other board needing a troll. This one requires none, thanks.
Well said Kerry! Too many conspiracy theory “Experts” out there! I also served with Kerry on active duty as well as being a former member of Emerald Society of the Federal Law Enforcement Agencies with him.
No conspiracy antics here. Just curious as to why you represent yourself as a “combat disabled veteran” on this site: http://sofrep.com/ but make no mention of it here on your own site in your bio.
Phil, you might want to do a little more research before posting your assuptions. Your research will reflect that Kerry is a straight shooter, telling it like it is. There is no room for political correctness, just facts and his honest assessment.
@Phil Sharkey, take you right hand and grab your right ear, now take your left hand and grab your left ear and… PULL YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS! Dipshit.
