Awesome! Thank you! If I put all the information together it's a pretty funny story! Not the frontline hero we're all after, but a hero nonetheless

Welcome aboard Alex I hope you will enjoy your time with us.   Tony

I am pleased to share with the group this fantastic group. General Julian Smith who commanded the 2nd Marine Division for the battle of Tarawa. More of this archive can be seen on my webpage: www.thewarleaders.com  

Who would have carried that, a on-military government employee or what military person?

Do remember that a "multi" passport holding CIVILIAN, aka Elon Musk has control over A LOT of satellites and where and WHO has access to that information. The US has great capabilities and OUTSTANDING personnel, however, Iran is down but it is not out. Yes, the techo side of warfare has evolved beyond what we can imagine. Prayers for our service people and that they will be taken care of when they come home.      

Holy cow!!! Since you mentioned satellites...... Ive been looking at the night sky with NVG's and there are so many satellites flying around, it boggles my mind. I see them in singles and in pairs crossing each others paths going every direction. Lately Im seeing pairs of them side by side going in the same direction and one following behind another going in the same direction. !   Cant prove it, but I think the US flew that missile over Ukraine that destroys electronics and thats what stopped the Russian Convoys ? Its a cruise missile type thing, that puts out an electro magnetic pulse that frys electronics. Stops vehicles.. Like a nuke with out the blast.   From Google.. The Counter-electronics High-Power Microwave Advanced Missile Project (CHAMP) is a U.S. Air Force cruise missile designed to fry electronic systems using targeted high-power microwave pulses. Tested in 2012, this, Boeing built weapon disables computers and electronics without causing collateral physical damage or casualties.  Key Aspects of CHAMP Technology Targeted Destruction: Unlike nuclear Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) weapons that create widespread blackouts, CHAMP is designed for surgical strikes, allowing specific enemy radar, data systems, and computers to be targeted. High-Power Microwaves (HPM): The missile flies at low altitudes and emits bursts of microwave energy, acting as a non-lethal, non-kinetic weapon. Operational Success: During tests in 2012, the system effectively neutralized electronic systems in a two-story building, even disabling the cameras used for recording the test. Follow-on Technology: A newer version called HiJENKS (High-Powered Joint Electromagnetic Non-Kinetic Strike Weapon) is designed to be more compact and deployable via drones or diverse aircraft, improving on the original CHAMP capability.    AI Overview Yes, the CHAMP (Counter-electronics High Power Microwave Advanced Missile Project) missile is specifically designed to stop vehicles, along with other electronic systems, by frying their circuits with high-power microwaves. It disrupts electronic control units in vehicles without causing structural damage or human   I think that champ stopped the Rusky convoys. ?

Cut off the head, the worst is already here. thanks to the open borders policy. I could go on & on. Pass a bill and pay America's defenders. 

Here's his grave: https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/19179150/william-elwood-ela   He was kinda "old" to sign up in 1929...27 when he enlisted. Too young for WWI, too "old" to be frontline/forward officer. Just the right age to be a souvenir hunter! Its interesting, the second newspaper article states he "wears the Silver Star"...is that a silver star for 5 campaigns or a Silver Star (proper)?

Hi! Thank you so much for these articles! Very helpful!

How much did you sell them for?
