Having talked to Future Snake eater in the past...knowing what he has done under the call of duty...and being an E-8...and a fellow comrade in arms...I ask you:
What is your combat experience? Where have you served? What is your expertise? Did you serve with the Strykers?
'Cause from where I sit...I see a guy who served with the Col in question...and I've known PLENTY of screwed up COL's who tried to say their problem was HQ...when it was them...and I also see a guy (that's you) calling someone a know-it-all when he himself seems to act like HE knows something other than what a letter says...like he has experience.
So...maybe YOU should elaborate...
Well, I guess that makes you both part of the problem then.
