@kenklippenstein None of this has anything to do with Platner having a tattoo only used by the Nazi SS, has been accused of abuse by former GF’s and infidelity by his current wife, and talked about how he wanted to kill Iraqi civilians among many other things.
Some SOF careers are extraordinary in one direction. Former DEVGRU and Delta Force operator Kevin Holland’s is extraordinary in just about every direction.
He graduated from West Wilkes High School in North Carolina in 1988 and went straight into the Navy. By 1990 he was deploying into Desert Storm with a SEAL platoon doing deep reconnaissance and sniper work in northern Iraq, barely 20 years old.
Identified as being in the top 1 percent of Navy SEALs, he was invited to screen for DEVGRU, the Navy’s Tier 1 counterterrorism unit. He served there until he separated from the Navy in 1995.
What he did next is what makes the career impossible to invent. He went home to North Carolina and became a Wildlife Enforcement Officer for the state Resources Commission. For seven years he patrolled the woods of Wilkes County, supplementing his income by teaching survival and land navigation to platoons of SEALs and civilian classes. A Tier 1 trident hanging in a hunting cabin somewhere.
September 11 changed that. He re-enlisted, this time in the Army. From 2001 to 2013 he served as a Green Beret and then an operator with 1st SFOD-D (Delta Force). The only man publicly known to have served as a fully badged operator at both DEVGRU and Delta.
On the night of 13 December 2003, Operation Red Dawn. Task Force 121’s C Squadron Delta element and ISA closed on Ad-Dawr in northern Iraq. They found a small spider hole in the ground covered by debris. Holland was part of the small team that reached in and pulled Saddam Hussein out by his hair and his scraggly beard. Someone yelled “gun.” Holland put his rifle on the deposed dictator’s chest with the safety off. Seeing no weapon, he flicked it back to safe. The Ace of Spades was in custody.
In 2011 he suffered a severe combat injury. He retired in 2013.
SEAL. Wildlife Officer. Delta Force. The man who pulled Saddam out of the hole. A career that, in any other context, would sound made up. It isn’t.
@martinez_j7902 Maybe he should consider that if there were a real fight he’d never get within punching distance of Ben or any actual trained security professional.
Here’s a number for you, Ted.
Election Day was six days ago and your scam of an election system is still accepting ballots and counting.
The rest of us don’t have to pretend that third-worldist slop is acceptable.
@MistyAnastasia@DLoesch@RealCandaceO Misty is it…Candace is around because she is constantly grifting on the latest nonsense that a bunch of morons believe. She’s a bottom feeding fish on the excretions of society. Which it sounds like is the place you want to leave.
I try not to contradict Nate very often but there’s a perfectly valid reason why it takes so long to count votes in California. Here is a typical timeline:
Election Day: everyone votes
Week 1: mail in ballots, absentee ballots, military ballots, overseas ballots, ballots accidentally issued to people’s pets, and ballots harvested from Skid Row start trickling in.
Week 2: As the ballots pile up, Officials consider appointing a Committee to Count Ballots.
Week 3: Committee to Count Ballots is appointed and commences discussion on electing a chairman.
Week 4: deadline for ballots from illegal immigrants.
Week 5: Committee decides that “chairman” is an outdated term and will be replaced by a term to be decided later once the Committee to Count Ballots Diversity Consultants finishes their report.
Week 6: fraudulent ballots from the Chinese Communist Party arrive.
Week 7: The Committee elects as Chairzerxon a nonbinary disabled child to count the ballots.
Week 8: it is discovered that the Chairzerxon does not actually know how to count.
Week 9: the ballots are thrown away and the Committee announces election results that are entirely made up.
🚨 BREAKING: Slain 18YO white male Henry Nowak's father just WENT OFF, saying the killer stabbed his son and police did NOTHING despite his imminent death
"Henry told officers he could not breathe **9 times**." 😢
He says the police FAILED and refused to believe him. The killer is now jailed.
WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?! BARBARIAN.
"Henry was pulled across the gravel his hands forced behind his back and he was placed in handcuffs. Instead of being treated as a dying victim the police formally arrested Henry for assault and read in his rights. That was the last thing he heard."
"Henry had been stabbed multiple times and as his chest filled with blood he tried to escape. He was chased, abused and filmed...when police arrived Henry was lying on the floor fairly able to sit up and plainly in severe medical distress. With his final words he told officers that he could not breathe. He told them he had been stabbed."
"The police have said they were misled by the murderers and that the scene when they arrived was complex."
"Unfortunately it seems to us the truth is much simpler. The police were told by our son himself and by a member of the public...but the police did not believe that."
"As a family we will not let this go. No other family should experience the heartbreak and horror of losing a child to knife crime."
"Finally, I want Henry to know. We are so proud of him and we love him." 🙏🏻
“You’ve been stabbed? I don’t think you have, mate,” the officer responded.
The @HantsPolice body camera footage of the arrest of a dying Henry Nowak has been released.
The university student tried desperate to tell police he had been stabbed and that he couldn’t breathe. They turn him around on the ground and handcuff him until he goes limp.
Nowak was killed by an Indian man who lied and said he was the victim of a racist attack, a tactic often used and encouraged by leftists to get an upper hand against others.
@amandalitman@lxeagle17 I mean just say this at the start. There’s clearly almost nothing he could have done to cause you to say Collins is the better option despite her being a pretty normie politician. You’re pressing for a bad guy and candidate because he has a D next to his name. It is what it is.
I can excuse a LOT of bad behavior - even downright evil and sociopathic behavior - so long as it allows us to get rid of history’s greatest monster, Susan Collins.
