Great Moments In Liberal Military Heroism

Okay, so a lot of them are just plain fake. But they have important (bullshit) stories to tell anyway.

See-Dubya links to a take-down of the newest Fauxdie Murphy on the left -- warcrime fabulist Jimmy Massey -- and takes us down memory lane regarding the original, Micah Wright, who claimed on his blog that he was a Special Forces kill-crazy madman who saw "the shit" in Panama and you were an ignorant chickenhawk to dispute him.

Later it turned out that the most "military action" he'd seen was a brief stint as an ROTC officer, and the only "shit" he'd seen was doing jumping jacks on the field to the north of the Quad, and on top of that he'd left that program before completion for one reason or another. (I think it's because he was secretly "tapped" by the CIA for their special Mechwarrior force, codenamed "METALSTORM CRIMSON ULTRA.")

And, oh yeah, he happens to link a couple of my funny takedowns on this lying sonofabitch to boot.

I'm not reposting those-- See-Dubya is. But seriously, pretty good stuff I think.
Especially "Wea Culpa," my own brave confession about certain... inaccuracies about my own history that I've peddled in order to win arguments.

Thirty years from now, Massey will be the Democratic nominee for President.

Okay, I confess. I just took on the Jewish minivan mom persona to win arguments. I'm actually a pimply faced 19 year old boy living in his mother's basement, with a huge Japanese comic book collection and lifesized cardboard cutouts of every major Stars Wars character. And five Boba Fetts. And homemade Mandalorian armor. With functional jetpack.

Whew, I'm free! No longer am I living a lie! FREE!

I hear some guy named Wesley Clark tried to pass himself off as some kind of general.

Went to See-Dubya and wallowed in the "good old times" when Ace was a young whippersnapper (blogically speaking). Now, as we all know, Ace has grown into...a Blogenstein! Or is it Blogenshteen?

Whatever.

The point is we all knew him when...
...he was a cute little mofo.
...he wore a frilly little dress.
...he nailed Powers Booth.

You get the picture. And can probably come up with MUCH better ones!

Whoops! I didn't mean to go off thread. I was overwhelmed! Overwhelmed, I say!

It's not my fault! I'm a victim!

Posted by: Maranna on November 11, 2005 06:00 PM

I have this vague memory that another piece of evidence against him came from the wife of some blogger (my extremely vague memory is that it was Spoons' wife) who had known Micah in college and knew that he was a habitual liar, even then. But more important is that she knew him in college at a time when his revisionist autobiography had him in the service.

Does that strike a bell with anyone?

Posted by: Steven Den Beste on November 11, 2005 08:22 PM

Alabaster, shhh.... Bush supporters can't talk about him without lying. (Same with any other veterans who oppose the GOP, from George McGovern to John Kerry to Tony McPeak to Gen. Shalikashvili. Heck, they even lied about McCain when he ran against BushCo.)

Gotta keep pretending George W. "Not Observed" Bush, Dick "Other Priorities" Cheney, and Don "Saddam's Pal" Rumsfeld are the American heroes. Right along with Bandar Bush, Chalabi, and Pat Robertson.

Speaking of strange bedfellows, don't miss the NYers review of Republican fiction (the kind that doesn't get people killed, for a change). These are "moral family values" you won't even want to read until the kids are asleep.

Steven--that's exactly right. Spoons' archives are gone but the ASV archives I was browsing through made that point. More bloggy goodness.

Posted by: See-Dubya on November 11, 2005 09:40 PM

Yes, Steven (or should I say Mr. Den Beste,) I do remember some woman from Micah's past talking about how he was a pathological liar even then.

Or maybe it was Ted Rall. Hell, all of those commie pinko bastards love lying. It's the only way they could get any action.

Posted by: Sue Dohnim on November 11, 2005 09:43 PM

Oh, the "Micah Wright is a Fucking Liar" post!

I remember that post like it was yesterday. It was around the time of the MuNu migration, as I recall.

Good times. Happy times.

Posted by: Phinn on November 11, 2005 11:24 PM

I read the same thing about Micah, Sue and Steve. Can't remember who posted it but they said they knew him when he was at school during the time he later claimed to be in the service.

Months ago, I reported that the final Zodiac cypher had been cracked and the name of the killer revealed. And the name of the killer turned out to be someone suspected in the unsolved Black Dahlia murder. The general tone of my mention of this was "serious you guys, this is real."
Well, it's not real. It's total bullshit.
Sorry about that. I did two things: 1, I bought into something, a conspiracy theory really, because it was new and exciting. And 2, I allowed a self-declared "expert" to snow me over with his "expert" claims about solving ciphers, an alleged expertise I could not challenge because I know practically nothing about codebreaking. I remember being similarly swindled by self-declared "experts" babbling about "chromatic aberrations." (Although I didn't really buy into that, but I found it "interesting" and I wasn't strongly skeptical about it. Hey they said they're "experts," they must know that they're talking about, right?)
I screwed up. It won't be the last time, I'm sure.

Chocolate Cherry Cordial
You must not think me mad when I tell you what I found below the thin shell of chocolate used to disguise this bonbon's true face. Yes! Hidden beneath its rich exterior is a hideously moist cherry cordial! What deranged architect could have engineered this non-Euclidean aberration? I dare not speculate.

Caramel Chew
There is a dimension ruled by a blind caramel God-King who sits on a vast, cyclopean milk-chocolate throne while his mindless, gooey followers dance to the piping of crazed flutes. It is said that there are gateways in our world that lead to this caramel hell-planet. The delectable Caramel Chew may be one such portal.

On "Professor" Arday:
He was their living lawn jockey, period. They won't say that 'cause they're sensitive and down with his struggle and all. He was there to appease and flatter their sense of being uplifters of the oppressed. In truth, he served as their living lawn jockey -- no more, no less, and unworthy of even a second thought on their part. Tokenism, pure and simple.

The Short Unhappy Life of a Russian Soldier: Why recruits die in 20-30 minutes
Interesting video. Some key parts: drones were responsible for 70-80% of all battlefield deaths in mid-2025, and I bet it's higher now. The Russian army is incredibly corrupt. Men get assigned to the most dangerous frontline units, the "Storm" units, unless they pay a superior $2,000 to be assigned to a different unit. Furthermore, there is often no real training for recruits -- commanders pocket the money that would have gone towards fuel and ammo costs incurred during training. Much "training" consists just of taking a single picture of soldiers doing something soldier-y, like fording a river, and publishing that as proof that the training was done. Even when it is done, training is only two weeks long.
