  • @djdomcorn hees rite up ther with the best like.!

  • Rest In Power Staff Sgt John A Thorburn, much love from a brother at arms from a future conflict (OIF). When we were in the desert, we would always ask ourselves exactly how bad we had it. was it Iraq bad? or Vietnam bad??? As a veteran, we always knew in our minds and our hearts while on active duty the treacherous shit you brothers had to go through. That said, my love and respect to you, for not only being the man that you are, the brother of mine, and the father of one of the dopest MC's.

  • MY CONDOLENCES RA MAY POPS REST IN PIECE.... I KNOW HOW IT FEELS I LOST MY POPS WHEN I WAS LIKE 18 AND I'M 39 NOW.

  • R.I.P Staff Sgt. John A. Thorburn (August 26, 1946 - January 7, 2010)

  • Respect

  • RA...you are a MAN. Not that you need or seek approval from anybody, but most dudes are too caught up trying to be "the man" and can't just be real for even a minute. Real s#!t....love the interviews, the articles, and basically everything you've been doin. Thank you for the education.

  • Happy Veterans Day, Mr. Thorburn!

  • @HitTheStixBRODIE Haha man you kids take lyrics so serious... He most likely said that because the military did some less than honorable things in Vietnam. Like on every song of Rugged Man people are like " Yo did he really kill 40000 people with an uzi shaped like Marylin Manson?" Lyrics, many times, are just a fabrication.

  • @rakimkoolgrapwutang Ehh. There is a chance, I mean if everything else was true.
