Like I said Lee, it's what I heard.
If you want, you can file it under, " Believe it or not."
Like I said, I go way back with Dennis, and it wasn't good. There was a lot of information that Dennis posted about himself, and others posted about
him many years ago on some obscure blog.
I do believe that Dennis was in the National Guard, and the Watt's riot was ground zero for Dennis.
The comment on the National Guard, was that when recruits joined up they probably did it with the expectation of not seeing any military action like
in Vietnam, or on the streets in the US, although the 60's were turbulent times.
I'm sure anyone who was with the California National guard during the Watts riots, were in the shock of their life.
Here are some of Dennis' own posts here on BN.

the crime quotient there and it's really a peaceful place....just like TJ. Other than that, they're are some who would say that Tijuana extends as far
north as the Canadian border. Who can argue with that?[

while being shot at. You're right about the bodies. The official count was around 17. I saw that many and more. We shot at everything that moved after
curfew and a lot of them shot back. Anyway, welcome to retirement and Baja.

The National Guard was federalized during the 65 event........RA. Regular Army ......to put then under the jurisdiction of the Uniform Code of
Military Justice. New swearing in ceremony..the whole thing. I'm done.
As the saying goes..."All good things must come to an end."
ADIOS muthaeffers
PS....thanks David. Got your U2U. This site has turned into a sewage treatment plant.

29 thousand posts, 21 posts on this thread. Who's leading the way ''into a sewage treatment plant''? Go Dennis.
FYI: National Guard not federalized until '67 Detroit riots. Fact check.
Rewrite history man. Who f'reaking cares? Recommend I be shot by another nomad? Too cowardly to say you want to take the shot?
Shoulda gone to Nam, man. You had a shot and didn't take it. Too bad.
Back on subject: I'm not seeing or hearing any animosity down here around US politics. Personally I think it's a non-issue. If you're not
online or watching TV news, life centers around very nice and different things. The greatest food in the world -- if it can be grown organic in
dirt, it's available here. I eat, sleep better here than up North. Wish it weren't true. Downside is I get lazy, don't exercise enough and
drink too much tequila.
I'm not complaining.
US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.
What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.

You're just wrong on the date. I was there, but thanks for bringing home the loser trophy. What would we have done without you.
