December 31, 2024 SFC Thomas Jackson conversation before trying to Murder DS Cottton Hill
SO!!!!

This is the “Famous” cornering of SFC Thomas O. Jackson cornering ME!!! “SSG Cotton Hill” aka, in real World People, lame SSG Michael Anthony D’Astoli, and threatening to “Hunt Me Down”, and using Government resources to “stalk” My Online Persona like fucking Charlie Day in the “Pepe Silva” Episode.

Yeah Tommy. Ya figured it out 3-years ago.

Holy shit.

I was exposing Evil People (Pedophiles, Rapists, and Murders) just like You tried to be, and failed, sad face, back then, but then after Tommy found out about said recording He tried *Chuckles* to get a fucking “Wire Tap” Charge on Me, while the Great State of Georgia believes in “One-Party Consent”.

I catch this Motherfucker in a “Puh Puh Puh PWeaseeeee 1SG Don’t Hurt Me” like fucking Simple Jack because SFC Thomas O. Jackson is not only an attempted Murderer, but a fucking RETARDED with a Capital RRRRRRRRR.

Yeah. Tommy. I’m breaking MPO. You tried to kill Me. By telling Your friend MSG Shaun Dunn I had a recording of HIM.

Which I didn’t.

You knew that.

You told Him anyways.

Then He Physically Assaulted Me to the point where I was puking up water. Required 2-years of INTENSE Physical Therapy for My Back because it would go Numb from My Ass to to Knee and THEN!!!!! Because of THAT!!!! Injury My Meniscus Tore because I was walking funny so while You’ve been living “Your Best Life”. I had to go through Daunte’s Inferno.

Way to get someone else to try to Kill Me Tommy. Dude. You should have just killed Me Yourself. MSG Shaun Dunn is a MENTALLY DISABLED PERSOB. You manipulated a literal MENTALLY DISABLED PERSON. To try to fucking Kill Me Man.

Owe it. I had to. The Surgery, and All this Shit SUCKED!!!

And guess what Tommy…it was for what now….

Jokes…Freedom of Speech.

November 26, 2023 Episode 8 - The 5th Platoon Bay Podcast
In this episode of the 5th Platoon Bay Podcast, DS Cotton has his good friend, mentor, and fellow Meme Lord @MDMP_memes_for_staff_teens on to discuss questions that the Enlisted had to a long serving Officer. DS Cotton and MDMP "MAJ Shaggy" make a lot of in depth discussion regarding the questions of "Why are the Officers hated on by the NCO", "Why do Officers go by the book rather than asking the Soldiers around them", "Why does the Army prioritize bullshit "check-in-the-box" tasks over quality training", "What makes an amazing Officer / how to be as a brand new Officer", and "How to excel in a Staff position". Both DS Cotton and MDMP address these questions from a Senior Officer's perspective and a season NCOs perspective to come to both varying view points and commonalities on how to address these situations. TO NOTE: there are some situations of technically difficulties, but DS Cotton would like everyone to know he very honored to have MDMP on as a distinguished guest, mentor, and educator to help all of you in your own careers. Until next time 5th PLT, I wish you the best, and I hope you enjoy this episode.

November 26, 2023 *SPECIAL EPISODE* The Destabilization of American Society and Patriotism
In this very special episode, DS Cotton covers his up and coming post about the destabilization of American Society thru Soviet influences. In this episode DS Cotton references Soviet Spies, the tactic of “Ideological Subversion”, how it affected the Korean and Vietnam War, the progression of Socialist / Communist ideologies thru American educational systems known as “The March Through Institutions”, his personal experience being raised as Socialist / Liberal in America, how he escaped the indoctrination, and how it is ultimately being played out in its final stages. DS Cotton would like to remind his followers that he is neither Left, nor Right. He considers himself a Logical Centrist meaning he is devoid of beliefs, and uses academic journals, papers, statistics to form a middle ground ideology of his own. This episode / post is not to attack anyone. It is merely to educate and expand your mind. If you agree, you agree. If you don’t, that’s okay. That’s perfectly fine. It is now on you to do your own independent research to find the truth. “Everything is a lie until you find the real truth”. - DS Cotton Hill
