RIP - 1LT Robert Paz, USMC Killed 16 DEC 89

Post by abnhawk »

The OJC crowd may remember that 1LT Paz was killed by the PDF on this day in 1989. 1LT Paz was a passenger in a car with other officers, while attempting to flee an anti-US crowd. After Paz was killed the PDF detained a naval officer and his wife. The officer was beaten, and his wife allegedly molested.

The next day, President Bush ordered the execution of OJC, thereby changing the lives of many on this board forever.

I remember seeing that on CNN. Next thing you know, we are getting alerted to "go find a training Stinger that got lost" or something like that.

Repeal the 16th, enforce the 10th.

Aye. If I'm not mistaken we were already on the south coast training for this mission before pineapple head declared war on the US. How'd that turn out for him.

How it must look to have 2,000 Army Rangers falling from the sky in your backyard after picking a fight. Strange, though it seems a lifetime ago, it also seems like it was just last week sometimes.
