Another Antifa arrest. Another professor
Went to a reunion with some old retired Navy guys. Didn’t know so many team guys were going to be there. Felt really honored to be invited. Was given the challenge coin, and one of the guys is doing metal work and made about 15 of the bottle openers just for the reunion. I was really honored to be given one. Coronado is much the same, but it is also different, but it’s been 30 years too. A great weekend with great friends.
When James Elliott Williams enlisted in the Navy in 1947, World War II was over, and the South Carolina native probably thought he might have a career no different, better, or worse than any other enlisted sailor. History would have other ideas. He just wanted to join the Navy, so bad in fact, he was only 16 when he enlisted. He and a county clerk altered his birth certificate to make him old enough to join. That was just the first bold move of his career.
It's notable that the most decorated enlisted sailor in Navy history isn't a SEAL or anything like that, he was a Boatswains Mate.
Williams was the Petty Officer in charge of overseeing patrols in the Mekong Delta as the Vietnam War was heating up in 1966 and 1967. At the time in his career when other NCOs would be seeking a quiet place to end their enlistment, Williams was tossing ammunition over his shoulder and telling junior sailors everything was going to be okay – and it was, because Williams was going to see to that.
That's what happened on Oct. 31, 1966, when Williams' two boat patrol was ambushed by two enemy boats on the river. He collected his "19-year-old and scared to death" gunners, and directed a return fire that destroyed one boat and sent the other running away for dear life. It wouldn't get away, as the sailors chased the damaged enemy boat right into...
An enemy stronghold.
Suddenly, they were outnumbered 65-to-1. The VC opened up on the Americans with withering AK-47 and RPG fire. You can probably guess what happened next.
Williams led his boat and its crew into the enemy formation, with fortified bunkers shooting at them from the riverbanks, enemy boats swirling around them, and all kinds of different ordnance being thrown their way. As he attacked enemy sampans, junks, and other river craft, he called in for help from UH-1B Huey helicopters as the night fell on the South Vietnamese inlet where Williams and his crew were absolutely laying waste to the Viet Cong.
For three hours, Williams and company fought and wrecked an entire hub of VC shipping and supply along with the 65 boats and untold manpower defending it. The Navy wrecking crew killed 1,000 enemy troops in the process while disrupting the VC supply lines in the entire region.
Aside from the Medal of Honor he earned on that day, Williams other awards and decorations include the Navy Cross, the Silver Star with gold star, the Legion of Merit with combat V, the Navy and Marine Corps Medal with gold star, the Bronze Star with combat V and two gold stars, the Purple Heart with two gold stars, and a ton of other unit commendations and service medals.
He left the military as a Boatswain's Mate First Class, E-6, but was made an honorary Chief in 1977.
FUCK!
.......ADD: I think I’m getting crankier in my old age, SHIT pisses me off and I just say what I say now, it NEVER was and I never was this way really before. Brought up that way, my first “cuss” word was “SHIT!!”... about Jr. or High School age, back yard, religiously barefoot stepped on a thumbtack in the grass outside our open back door, Mom (shocked) heard it, said “I’ve NEVER heard you talk that way!”, I said “It hurt, Mom, couldn’t help it!”. Now this stuff flows easier than it ever did, specially nowadays. 
.... FUCK! is the short version for here .

Reminds me of some of my wife’s early pictures actually. She was a true standout in more than many ways, you remembered her after meeting her whoever you were. Salt of the earth gal. Both sassy AND classy.

Jesus... I’d have put that bitch into wall at about the two second mark if that were my kid. One of would be in jail for sure
Again, you haven’t read his books, and you’re not paying attention if you don’t see them playing out. A lot of people (including a lot of Americans, fought with the PF against the fascists in the 1930s, including communists and anarchists, but that doesn’t make you one. In the 1930s it was fascists who were totalitarian. They were defeated. The communists are just if not more totalitarian than the fascists. Take your bullshit leftism somewhere else.
And one of the things you need as a rider at those levels is control of not only the bike but yourself, there can be no red mist. Do that one time too often and there are 10 guys waiting in line, and 5 of them are likely better then you are if given the chance.
Sorry read the books. He was a commie.....a follower of lenin, and after learning of the horrid things Stalin did to his people he switched sides. A champion of the down trodden, favored distribution of wealth, and in fact lived "homeless" for a while just to see what it was like.
None of this diminishes his work, or the comments on 1984.....just know the man.
Communism IS a totalitarian ideology, period. You misunderstand what a “democratic socialist” was in postwar England. I’m done because I don’t want to see saggy tits.
Army Jerry in his younger days.
I'd need to see a government-issued ID to verify age before anything with this one.
