I don't think it was about taxes or grazing fees either.

I'd like to know what "J. Special Forces Operator" was doing there.

It's him...the same guy that was at the gate right before BLM pulled out is at the 3:40 mark of this Discovery Channel video on youtube below...

Special Operations Americas Secret Soldiers

The youtube video below has what looks to be the very same guy at the gate starting at about the 1:30 mark.

Historic! Feds Forced to Surrender to American Citizens

If it's not the same guy they're twins.
