An Air Force colonel lawyer is quoted as an expert?
This brings back the Dan Rather days when Rather and Mapes used an ignorant lieutenant clerk and an Army colonel who knew absolutely nothing of the Texas Air Guard as their two go-to experts on Bush’s service.
“His speech directly attacked the values of many of the senior officers and enlisted members in the audience, and I would expect many of them to demonstrate their disgust by retiring,”
That’s not an expert, that’s just an opinion. This retired Air Force Colonel JAG thought Hegseth was spot on and said what a lot of us have been saying for 20 years. By the time I retired (1Jan16), there seemed to be a roughly even split among O6 and above between liberal and conservative. When I started, it was about 95% conservative. Disgusting.
Colonel, USAF JAGC (Ret)
Rather and Mapes
The group that coined the phrase false but accuraate.
