"Im surprised he was granted a TS to be a swift boat commander"
I beg to differ. As an AF pilot, even as an instructor pilot in W.TX let alone as a Fighter Pilot, a TS clearance was pretty much the standard at a minimum. One would think that as a Swift Boat commander it would be the same as he would have been exposed to more exact system capabilities and specific attack plans and tactics than the average "support" officer.

"if you're not worthy of a security clearance, you're not worthy of an honorable discharge"
Being "not worthy" of a particular clearance is one thing. Having a clearance "pulled" is entirely another unless one was moved to a job where a certain level was no longer required. Moving from river boat captain to being on an Admiral's staff would indicate a clearance above TS would be appropriate.

If his clearance was yanked due to his activities while still an officer (though not on active duty), it could be something major...

Will have to keep an eye on this story.

Just MHO, of course.
