An anonymous poster on FR claims to have served with him, says he’s great so case closed? Got it. Did I mention I hung out with the Easter Bunny and Elvis last week?
Well, I’m not the Easter Bunny or Elvis, but I’m hardly anonymous since I was quoted in literally thousands of newspaper articles when this story broke.
Bales absolutely is a great guy and a great Soldier. I don’t know what happened in Afghanistan, but I can tell you that the story that was released made no sense at all. I hope the truth does finally come out and that he isn’t railroaded.
That “anonymous poster” happens to be my son, pal; he was a PL in Iraq for 15 months and was awarded the Bronze Star. Take what he said as gospel.
Happy Easter. Tell Elvis I said hello.
