Biography
Chittum was born in New Jersey on February 28, 1947, to Mr. and Mrs. James R. Chittum. His father worked as a tool designer for Caterpillar Tractor Co. Chittum joined the army and trained as a paratrooper with the 173rd Army Brigade. He was originally stationed in Okinawa, but was sent to Vietnam where he served from 1965 until 1966. He was involved in numerous fire fights, including a battle in which his patrol killed a Viet Cong recruiter who had connections to China. Chittum was also involved in an operation in which he raided an abandoned Viet Cong base which contained propaganda leaflets connected to the Youth Against War and Fascism.[6]
After his time in the army, Chittum briefly served in the Rhodesian Army in the early 1970s during the Bush War, where he spent several months on patrols along the border with Zambia.
From 1991 until 1992, Chittum fought with the Croatian Army in Croatia's War of Independence. He first served in a recon unit made up of mostly Dutch mercenaries. He then served in a mortar unit made up of British and regular Croatian soldiers. His time in Croatia was mostly spent in trenches avoiding attacks from Serbian mortars, tanks, heavy machine guns and jets. Both sides relied on trench warfare and Chittum noted that one of the British mercenaries he served with once said "It was a war fought with 1970s technology and 1914 tactics."[7]
Chittum spent most of his adult life working as a computer programmer.
Theories
Chittum predicts that the United States will soon face Balkanization and a second Civil War based on racial conflicts.[3][8] He plans to move to upstate New York because it would likely still be a Caucasian-controlled area after the American Southwest effectively becomes part of Mexico by 2020 due to immigration.[9]
Chittum was a speaker at the First Annual Conference on Racial Separatism in 1998, which also featured
