Just effing try it you commie!
I believe that he is an Infantry Officer, but I’m not sure. He did serve in an infantry battalion at Ft. Hood, and served a one year tour in Iraq. I suspect that his Iraq tour was as a staff officer at battalion or brigade level, but I’m guessing. I do not believe that he has commanded a battalion.
Most of this is speculation, reading between the lines of things that he has written, but it’s informed speculation.
Treason gallops rampant and goes generally unchallenged in these obamacharged, evil times in today’s Amerika.
I’ll stand with you brother.
Do you mean, FSE, that this rat is on active duty now?
Master Bateman is hereby voted most likely to get shot in the face, when it all goes down.
Yes, he is a serving officer in the U.S. Army. You can see his picture and some information on him here:

As I’ve mentioned on other threads, I believe that his article in Esquire is a part of his pre retirement planning. He is hoping to become a darling of the Left and score a position either in Left Wing Academia or in a Left Wing think tank.
Had the Obama adm been successful in it’s attempt to tie the TEA Party to the attempted car bombing in NYC, all the people associated with the TEA Party you know the people whose names the IRS had been gathering, would be on a terrorist watch list.
Just a thought for you.
Molon Labe!
Freedom is worth it.

I hate me, too.
Er.... there is NOW.
OPSEC, people, OPSEC!
They would have to have troops that would agree to violate the Constitution. (In a worst case scenario.) And they'd still have to have the cooperation of local law enforcement.
Just saying.
That makes sense—going the route of Wesley Clark. I hope he’s not too lonely out there on the fringe left. What a clown.
Where’s the big massive number of people that support Tim McVeigh?
They don’t exist, and the same thing would have happened to anyone associated with the TEA Party had that bomb gone off in NYC and the Obama WH had successfully tied it to the TEA Party.
All it would take is one person associated with the TEA Party to strike back and the lie becomes the truth to the doubters.
WH could also get their muslim friends to touch off a few bombs here and a few bombs there and make the claim the TEA Party has allied with muslim terrorist to wage war against the US.
You would no longer be on a terrorist watch list you would be a WANTED terrorist.
These people play by Alinsky’s (SP?) rules and use the Weather Underground playbook.
I took the bait, too, at first. But, like you, I did some checking and figured it out. In fact your post (subsequently retracted) was what piqued my curiosity about who this guy was and why your information didn’t match the byline info.
The truth is that you smoked out the truth before anyone else and now, days later, we still see pictures and stories about the NY State Guard guy. BTW, it does appear that the NY State Guard guy was at one time a member of the NY National Guard. He’s either now retired or resigned from the National Guard.

great link, thanks.
Besides, they can only kill me once, and I wasn't planning on living forever.
I will not live on my knees.
