Semper Fi Willy Pete!

Posted By Laughing_Wolf • [February 04, 2012]

Sharon Rice-Weber, the better half of David Weber, sent me a link to a wonderful story about a special Marine in Afghanistan.  Read it here.  To a true Teufel Hunden, I say "Get Some!"

UPDATE:  Just found out about the comments to the story indicated the dog had been killed on orders from higher.  Am trying to get info, but if anyone has hard information to confirm or deny, please post it here or if you don't want to go public, drop me a line at wolf1 at laughingwolf dot net.  Looking for more than heresay. 

UPDATE II:  DC PAO couldn't find anything on Willy Pete's current status, has put me in contact with Marine PAO in Afghanistan.  E-mail sent, will update when/if I get anything. 

UPDATE III:  No go on contact with USMC PAO Afghanistan.  E-mails are bouncing (tried different addys/servers for me, to make sure wasn't something on my end), and don't have a commercial number to call them (I don'thave DSN access currently).  Anyone who can get to them, would love to talk with them and get good info. 

UPDATE IV:  Updating and bumping post, as I have received a report from an involved party that Willy Pete was indeed killed/executed on orders from higher (report states company commander).  If anyone can help put me in touch with local/unit PAO, it would be appreciated.
