PKM is the second person I know to have gone down there on the ground. The other is an ex navy deal, and is bad *** as hell. It's really interesting to see the developments going on, and see first hand reports vs media reports. The main thing that I have noticed is that the media is taking sensational stories or half truths and reporting them as what is going on.
Another place I have found interesting info is from oath keepers, and their Facebook group. Interestingly enough, the articles they link on Facebook somehow are not able to be read, whether Facebook is blocking it or it is just malfunctioning from sheer amount of traffic overload is unclear, but it begs the question if the media is shaping the story somehow.
PKM, if you meet a dude named Jeff young, give him some pizza. He is a good dude.
