If West Point paid this guy as a Historian, they should get their money back. As it is, he only seems to make a mediocre propagandist.
This is chilling. I pray that no enlistedman or woman thinks this way. The brass I can understand having to kowtow to politicos, but a few hundred thousand soldiers vs. a few million gun owners wouldn’t be a fair fight just on numbers alone; and that’s assuming every soldier would be in for the fight. I suspect most would go AWOL.
No problem Colonel, why don’t you come get mine.
LTC Bateman, you fail at propaganda forever.
no more military pensions...no more enticements...no more keeping people in the service who do not belong there such as this creep....
its like teaching....you just can't get rid of them easily no matter how much they stink....
This guy has to be one of Barry’s new “gay” soldiers. A normal American male would not talk like this. He does need to keep his goatsmelling, military @$$ out of politics though. If he doesn’t, it’s court martial time.
He is a moron. He believes that the presence of a gun means more crime, therefore remove the guns and somehow the people will forget how to murder each others.
Bateman and Robbin`
The Founding Fathers DID NOT write the Bill of Rights to guarantee that the government has the right to field a National Guard. Anyone who thinks that they did, needs to lay of the recreational drugs for a while.
Try to take the illegal guns first. Start with Chicago.
That’s how you get promoted in Obama’s military-agree with him.
The left will soon own the military just like they own education, media, religion, government, and the culture. We are fighting a rear guard action.
Opinions are like *ssholes, Colonel - everyone has one.
On Civvy Street, yours is no big deal.
West Point was originally chickified in 1976. Look it up.
This lite kernel has a full imperial dispensation from the Anointed One to call for citizen disarmament. But in the Army I remember, if you propose a mission, you must outline an operational plan; situation, enemy forces, friendly forces, mission, concept of operation, command & signal, etc.
If he’s an infantry officer, that’s the very least he can do: tell us bitter clingers exactly how his `forces’ will be deployed to disarm Americans and take away our guns.
We’re waiting, you arrogant ringknocker!
Come on then.
bateman needs to be strung up from the highest yardarm available.
I just finished The ‘Enemies’ trilogy written by our own Travis McGee (Matt Bracken).
I think Boone & Phil Carson might have a thing or two to explain to traitor Bateman.

Yep, I guess a question needs to be asked...who approved his using his official status in writing an editorial? He uses his rank, capacity, status, etc. to justify what he’s saying. Essentially he’s speaking on behalf of the DoD and the last time I checked, one had better have prior approval by some pretty high ranking folks to do that.
The military has always been real careful about allowing individual active duty personnel to “represent” the views of the DoD. Specifically, only PR type folks were permitted to present views based on official capacity.
I could opine as a citizen, but I cannot recall ever being permitted to use my status/rank as some kind of means to legitimize my position because it was my position, not the military’s.
Anyway, this pos can go eff himself.
He swore to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution, no change, destroy or ignore the Constitution. Another Obama officer who puts his career well being ahead of his country’s well being. So typical these days. And so disgraceful. Go home LTC, get out of that uniform and don’t tell anyone you represented this country. (From a fellow Army Officer, Ret)
He should hang. What would be his defense? Oh, I shouldn’t have my First Amendment right taken away from me?
