    Great picture. Drive On Airborne, Drive On! I don’t care what anybody else says or thinks, these guys were the best. It’s about time all American citizens – and not just us older vets – realize that it’s because of the Vietnam Veterans that we never had to fight the Russians. Thanks to all the Vietnam Veterans who trained me to be a good soldier, leader, and a Marine.

    Young Captain Brown!

    A real American bad ass! Rock on RKB

  4. ME says:

    How did he fight with no PT belt, no IOTV, no gloves, no helmet and no eyepro? And he’s got a doggone monkey? 10 bucks says he’d go out the wire with more than 8 armored vehicles, too…

  5. fox says:

    Correct on both counts. We did not have to fight the Red’s, and we received benefits because of those guys. God bless them!

    Its funny I was just reading a brief biography article about RKB two days ago. This was one of the included pictures. I’d kept a number of the early 80’s SOF’s I’d gotten as a kid. Although I’d read it years ago I didn’t remember much about it and was entertained by it.

    That photo is AWESOME! You have to love the fact he has a monkey!

  8. FLC says:

    Dont you guys know back in the day, each SF officer got issued a monkey upon completion of the course.
    It was a program to replace orderly’s. “Manpower problems” you know!

  9. Raybans were his Eye Pro & Great Classic Pic!

    Back when Men where to be considered Real Men.

  11. Tom says:

    Is it just me or are his hands REALLY tiny? And no, not talking bout the shoulder monkey πŸ˜€

    • straps says:

      No, he was issued a much, much larger M16. πŸ™‚

      His hands look like the GI Joe figures with the Kung Fu Gripβ„’ that you put grenades and pistols and rifles in. It all makes sense now.

  12. COL REMF says:

    Ah yes, RKB long before he started Soldier of Fortune/Fiction magazine, featuring his probably-truthful travel-logs of mortaring Soviet forts during the Sov/Afghan war, and even longer before he made it onto the board of the NRA. The pose is a little disturbing though.
