"Deploying to Iraq and Afghanistan" is not actually combat, is it? Infantry and a couple of other MOSs suggest combat, not logistics or other Combat Support specialties (unless they were particularly unlucky at some point). Was he a MEDEVAC pilot or a gunship pilot? Don't know.

I saw that he is married - but it's not totally unknown for a gay man to be married. Ever done any investigations while you were in the service?

The part of his editorial that raises my suspicions are about his "LBTQ and women's inclusion in combat" part. Since when would that be a plus for combat effectiveness?

I think he flew Blackhawks in one of his tours, but am pretty sure he didn’t fly Huey Cobras and/or Apaches.

I was also a Lead Investigator for the Marine Corps IG later in my career. That guy has the look - and coupled with his very suspicious editorial, all my alarms go off.
