Larry Warren and the Iranian Hostages

David Young has produced yet another video in his campaign to destroy Larry Warren and this latest one is as futile and false as all the others in his series. See here for the previous one: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2020/03/larry-warrens-discharge-papers.html. This new video is shorter than his others... thank God! However, it makes many points within its six minute duration. First of all Donald Laisure doubts Larry's story about his abduction and torture following his encounter with a UFO and entities. This is because along with being the armourer at the base Donald was also the fireman, so he knew the entire area of both bases, Bentwaters and Woodbridge. I think it is possible Don has misunderstood the details of Larry's account. Don might have an idea in his head that Larry was imprisoned in some basement under a building or within the Weapons Storage Area, the most secure part of the base. In fact he uses the words "underground bunkers". No, what Larry describes is much more like a DUMB- Deep Underground Military Base, something that is totally separate from the USAF infrastructure on the surface. It may have been close to the twin bases and may even lie beneath them, but is not in any way connected with them. Donald therefore would have known nothing about it. Larry's story reminds me of witnesses such as Preston Nichols, James Casbolt and Phil Schneider etc. The title of the video refers to the Iran hostage crisis which began in November 1979 when a group of American diplomats were detained after Iran became an Islamic republic. They were eventually released in January of 1981 and were taken to Ramstein and Wiesbaden Air Force Bases in Germany for debriefing and medical examinations. A group of USAF personnel from Bentwaters-Woodbridge went to the German base which included some of the guard dog handlers, known as the K-9 unit (a play on the word "canine"). The dogs are also used for seizing drugs. Donald is incredulous that the Air Force would send dogs to deal with the hostage crisis; he says: "Why would they send spaniels?" Well, they didn't actually send dogs, they just happened to send any men they had available; this included the K-9 staff and Larry. Would they have been spaniels anyway? I have been contacted by somebody who knows two people who were servicemen at RAF Bentwaters and Woodbridge at that time and they have supplied the photos you see below. The dogs you can see there are not spaniels. They look like mastiffs and Alsatians or something like them. They asked me to quote them: "The dogs were type of German Shepherd (Alsatian).  I visited Sergeant Danny Stoops a dog handler when he was in the Bentwaters NMSA with his guard dog. Tim Pratt was also a dog handler that went into buildings searching for drugs. I don't remember spaniels. I have a black-and-white photo of the guys chasing down the dogs. It was cute. They were all German Shepherd types that I saw." And: "The dogs may have all been German Shepherds but I'm not a hundred percent positive. I remember during orientation when I first got there, a K-9 handler brought in his dog and demonstrated on how it alerted to drugs hidden in the room. And once in a great while, K-9 would walk past our hock (equipment) bags during guardmount to see if anyone was bringing drugs to work.  Other than that, I can't say I remember much about them. That looks accurate.  Probably the weed smokers paid more attention to them than anyone." The Royal Navy Provost uses spaniels and similar breeds for drug hunting because they have to be small enough to climb into lockers and other confined spaces on board ships; however this wasn't an issue for an air base.

David then turns to Jim Penniston for more information on the Iran hostage crisis sending him an email asking about Larry's involvement. The first night witness replies that he is certain Larry was not in any way involved in this mission. Jim claims that nobody from the 81st SPS was involved. He knew because he was in charge of all the security police temporary duty assignments. Larry was apparently working "weeds and seeds", punishment duties, at the SP's supply department. This is another common accusation levelled at Larry, that he was a bad soldier. He was kicked out for not being good enough and during his brief service he spent much of his time in trouble. This is not true. As we've established in my previous article in this series, Larry was honourably discharged from the USAF. I've previously published photographs of Larry doing honour guard duty at social events. Somebody working punishment duties would not be allowed to do that. In fact in the photograph above of Larry you will see he is wearing a white scarf. This is called an "ascot" and is worn by airmen who are part of an honour guard. Therefore Penniston's testimony makes no sense. What else makes no sense is his claim that he held a position of command in the SPS. No, Penniston was a Law Enforcement NCO, part of a different department. Larry was eventually moved off D-flight to SP Operations which included working in SP supplies, but this was not "weeds and seeds". Larry worked a system of morning and afternoon shifts. In the morning his officers commanding were Master Sergeant Fred Smith or Technical Sergeant George Laws. In the afternoon Larry was under the supervision of Major Carl Dury. Larry says he only saw Jim Penniston once in supplies and this was when the Law Enforcement enlisted man went in to moan about his boots being the wrong size. Fred Smith didn't like his attitude and threw him out. When Larry went to Germany he was part of a small TDY group to represent the 81st and assist with crowd control amidst the huge international publicity incident the hostages being released generated. Larry knew Danny Stoops from K-9 very well. The video then goes on to pour ridicule on Larry's claim that he drove an Aston Martin. How did a nineteen year old on low pay afford that? The solution to that story is that the Aston Martin didn't just belong to Larry; it was paid for by a group of airmen and it was in very poor condition. A local man sold it to them, probably thinking Americans didn't understand British cars and so perhaps he hoped to overcharge them. The video ends with the claim that Larry was not a member of any motorcycle clubs and never even owned a motorbike. As you can see from the photos below, he did own one. He also was a member a biker club and took a photo with his fellow members. I shall end this article with something Larry said which he asked me to quote: "It's becoming a sport making bozos look like fools and fools they clearly are!" I wholeheartedly agree, Larry. We'd also like to ask Don to reread Left at East Gate so that David Young stops making a fool of him too. David ought to be careful about name-dropping private organizations, ones which are unrelated to any UFO matters, organizations who don't like having their name publicized.
