“Garrow replied: “The man who told me this is one of America’s foremost military heroes.””
If this is true, a real hero and patriot would come forward publicly. Ideally several would come forward publicly. The fact no high ranking general officer has come forward, despite all of the recent sackings suggests:
1) The assertion is not true or
2) We have no patriots in the general officer corps.
If it were North, he knows how to disseminate effectively.
It is sobering to think #2 may indeed be possible, though it is the natural outcome of the politicization of the officer corps in general.
To me alot of officers are like the political officer in the old Soviet Union, make sure everybody tows the party line.
My thoughts exactly.
3) The thugs got to him, threatened his family...
Or option 3: They don’t want to mysteriously die in a one car crash, or suddenly get lead poisoning to the back of the head by a DHS hollowpoint.
I’m with you, this is just another Internet myth.
I agree, and if it is true and this person doesn't publicly come forward, shame on him.
2) We have no patriots in the general officer corps.
Above the rank of OF O-6 or E-7 they are political appointment’s first and they dam well know it. Expect nothing.
Your analysis is ignorant.
The hero has come foreward, but you can’t be bothered to pay attention. He isn’t a general (few heroes are, and the ones that were are dead) and he has been vocal.
