Why I'm Fat by Vickers Tactical

[Honu]

if one could live life backwards they might not ask stupid questions and what is wrong with folks for even asking ?

maybe its being old enough to realize things and what he has done and did

and still bet the dude would destroy most folks if push comes to shove

Oh heck yeah, he is probably as strong as an ox and must know some plenty devastating fighting moves. Delta operators receive extensive training in so many things.

His accomplishments are very impressive to put it mildly.

In addition to the comments already made here...


What the hell does his current waist size or state of physical fitness have to do with the hard earned knowledge that Larry possesses and is generous enough to share? Are their people out there that think adding an inch to your waist line makes makes knowledge and experience drop out of your brain?

This is one of the reasons I come to M4C. Its nice to see some sane, intelligent, reasonable people to remind me that not everybody "out there" in the world is an idiot. The previous comments on this thread remind me that there is still hope for humanity.

{I remove my hat...} Thank you Mr. Vickers for your years of service.

Not much that can be added to this. I doubt that some of those who bitch and moan the most still couldn't keep up with Larry if pitted against him, and that is now. Forget in his day. I know I wouldn't screw with the man.

Yup....I'd second the above.

As an Aviator who transported and provided CAP for operators like Larry Vickers, I saw some of what these patriots endured. With the Service induced physical conditions he suffers from, I'm surprised he has the energy and will to do what he does now. As a young 1LT at Fort Campbell in 1983, I thought my completion of Air Assault School in July of that year was the toughest thing I had ever undertaken. I soon learned that I was not in the same class as these hardcore operators.

As an aside, imagine anyone talking about a MOH winner like this.

Imagine someone during the 50s calling Murphy a pipsqueak. Imagine someone calling York a back woods hillbilly. When exactly did it become acceptable to criticize men who have done more than their critics ever will with their entire lives.

Now if another member of Delta, NSW or any other similar group wants to make a criticism then that is fine. But I just don't think Ventura is going to have the nerve to have a discussion about weight.

I always thought he had a bit of an elevated ego. That's the impression I got from YouTube and stuff. No ,I never met the guy. It's just how he appears to me. Does he know his stuff? without a doubt. Not arguing that. This brought him down to earth some. It was nice to see.

He's earned whatever "ego" he has developed by the time he's put in, and what he has done for this country. I respect the hell out of him. Not saying you don't, but I think a certain confidence comes with the territory of being among the best of the best. He's done shit that I can only accomplish with a controller on my couch.
