"THE BIRD" ON S.O.F.'s, RICHARD SECORD, ROBERT K. BROWN AND MESSING WITH MINDS.
- He lets the armchair experts have a taste of reality from someone who was
actually there, with a little bomb dropped at the end from the Department of
Public Safety in days of yore, when men were men, Vang Pao ran "Air Opium", and
wet S.O.F. T-shirt contests were as PC as a too-tight pair of Levi's on an
undercover cop:
"Good morning Ranger Rickette/aka Brenda,
"I was looking over the posting of this past weeks cat wailing, and saw a quick
note on our favorite publisher, Robert K. Brown, of the Socialist Capitol of
Boulder."
"Now it so happens that said R. K. Brown, was a former reserve captain in
Special Forces, and because of that, found his way to D'Nam, where he gained
some friends, some enemies, and some networking ability for some nefarious men
that went on to bigger and better things---LOL"
"Said Captain Robert K. Brown upon arrival back in CONUS, found himself living
in the basement apartment of Peter Lund, then publisher and editor of Paladin
Press---and one wealthy dude--now between the whiskey and bullshit---an idea
for a mercenary magazine transpired, and the rest is history---S.O.F. was born
from that drinking bout----with the infamous first addition having on the
inside front cover a bad guy from Z.A.N.U with his head blown most of the way
off---oh my the outcry from the public---surely in a day and age of Hustler,
this was pornography--we must not have this on the newsstand to warp the minds
of our youth----LOL."
"And the die was cast--every wannabe, camo wearing, mercenary in the United
States starting reading this rag--and "Bob" Brown became famous. Through him we
have such grand works as "Liberty City" with the Karen state---we have the
first SOF convention where not only did Robin Moore get so drunk before his
speech, he insulted damn near every black veteran in that hotel, causing some
of them and their mates to get up and walk out---ah the spirit of Columbia
Missouri---, and by the way, the presentation of honor that year was to General
Vang Pao, leader of the free world in Southeast Asia, and the only owner of a
one aircraft company, called "Air Opium", and the mayor of Camp 21, a city of
ten thousand that didn't exist, but somehow had a beer drinking bear in front
to the bar, that drank more than Bob Brown."
"Then the trips to Rhodesia for the stalwart mercenary band---and the Cripple
Eagles house for US citizens who might, or might not be fighting for such
diverse groups as the RLI (John Early), Selous Scouts (Martin Boorman), Gray
Scouts (Mike, cant remember his last name), "Harry ****** (had to redact that
one, because he is a friend and still in business god knows where?, and around
one hundred other fighters from the US, that just didn't need permission to
fight commies---ah yes, old BOB had it good then---a real war, with real
merc's--and lot's to cover. Sad it had to end with the Brits screwing it up
with there meddling---and the result in that Mugabe has all but eaten the white
farmers out of the country, and the black commies are still just killers with
political pull now."
"Mitch Werbell, hell he and Bob hooked up in D'Nam, because the old handle bar
mustached Werbell invented that lovely device we know as the MAC 10--and sure
wanted to sell it to the US, or Viet government--hell he didn't care which. And
Werbell had a long, long history of some-what flawed background anyway? Damn it
I think he may have been a friend to some of your old friends, hmmm, Maybe the
head of the Air America operations division, an Airforce Captain named Richard
Secord?"
"Could it be?"
"I love to remember things like this----for all your young readers, have them
research the old Department of Public Safety housed at the State Department
during the sixties and seventies, now that was a crew if there ever was
one---LOL---hmmm, did we, oops, did they get in lots of trouble
overseas---hmmmm, could be?"
"Oh well, stay safe and mess with the hearts and minds---oh wait, that is an
old SOF motto, now isn't it---and if I remember, could be even a T-shirt sold
by SOF magazine."
"Regards and have fun with what you do." The Bird

....Nothing is as it appears to be.
