Mr. Greene is a low grade moron who should be stripped of his AF retirement benefits. How someone like this managed to rise to the rank of Colonel is both a mystery and a source of real concern.

If the AF is reduced to promoting someone with this pathetic a grasp of what the Constitution is he shouldn't have been in charge of a five dollar bill let alone men and machines.

As a retired chief warrant officer I have known lots of colonels. Most are decent honorable officers but remember that in the military when a problem is identified, it is instinctively dealt with as a mission with an objective and an after action report to follow with command emphasis throughout and failure is not an option.

I’ve also known retired colonels who took jobs in county and local government. They enthusiastically search out problem areas, propose solutions, and then run hard aground on the snail’s pace of elected officialdom, which the retired officers then tend to view as corrupt.

Centralization of authority is generally viewed with favor as it is what these officers knew for their entire careers. Not justifying what this Air Force retiree is proposing nor questioning his right to do so, but IMO he is the product of his longtime professional environment.

Just sayin’. Anyway, this retired CW4 is what most warrants are in the military: independent minded and often working outside the chain of command to accomplish the mission.

“Sir, I have a handle on it, just let me get it done, and I’ll keep you informed.”

More in line with the spirit of the 2nd Amendment if I may say so.

I don’t care if this guy served with General Patton. He is an idiot. Lots of idiots served in the military. John Kerry comes to mind.

My favorite part of the article is where Comrade Greene tells us to use the threat of force to scare an attacker. Welcome to Metro Atlanta, home of the illegal hispanic gangbanger, drug trader paradise and crime central. Waving a tire iron at a hopped up meth head and his homies kicking down your front door is just not going to do it Frank. But you know what will? A brand new Keltec PMR 30. The 30 is for the 30 round clip it holds. You keep your threat of force and I’ll hang on to my PMR 30 thank you very much. Jackwagon!!!
