What is it about ?
I'll hit the low points....... Douchebag SF officer thinks he's so much better than anyone else that he can sneak his reporter-girlfriend downrange like Rucksack Ronda and let her play soldier while he feeds her and her journalist friends bull$hit about how he came up with military doctrine that's already ~70 years-old. Oh... and he's also an a$$hole who likes killing.What is it about ?
IA should get Chris Kyle to train its snipers. This is a defense forum. If you want to get all weepy about people getting killed, join an Amnesty International forum.@Ray - Sir, this is not surprising at all.
The list of "fun" killings and harming innocent civilians is endless under US military occupation. Lest it be pointed out here, one gets accused of DFI being a pro-Putin, anti-Yank forum.
One of the snipers with highest kills was a Navy Seal named Chris Kyle. It turns out he used to shoot "ragheads" for fun regardless of the threat perception and to inflate body count. It takes a twisted person to enjoy shooting unarmed people from distance.
A similar incident was in Afghanistan when an entire village of innocent civilians was wiped out just for "kicks" and whole thing was covered up till recently. This has been going on ever since Vietnam war and even before that.
There are many many false heroes pertaining to US military along with false tales of valour but pointing them out would result in a lot of unpleasantries.
That's how the US Army sees him, a disgrace....a 2012 letter to Gant from Lt. Gen. John Mulholland, then-deputy commander of the U.S. Special Operations Command. The romance, boozing and drugs, Mulholland told Gant, "disgraced you as an officer and seriously compromised your character as a gentleman."
The CO didn't "allow" this.At this rate, there will be a flurry of Girl Friends and wives who will use this excuse to be with their beaus and husband and, as the quaint US phrase goes - in harm's way!
And who is a journalist? Who can say that a person who wrote for a school magazine is not a journalist too?
And if these women die, then the US Govt will be holding the can!
Having your cake and eating it too, right?
Utter nonsense.
One wonders how the Officer Commanding allowed this!
Let's not forget GEN Petraeus and his girlfriend and their antics in the same theater.[Q]uot[ing] a 2012 letter to Gant from Lt. Gen.

Ha ha ha...is that pic before the afghan adventure or after ???Somebody's obsession with Chris Kyle aside, Ann Scott Tyson has a face that would stop an 8-day clock.
Hell, she doesn't need a gun to kill anybody, she could kill with her Medusa looks.
... which pretty much what I did in the fifth post. You're absolutely right though; David Axe is the Perez Hilton of defense-industry journalism, but on this matter, he and I are in complete agreement.If I may say so - this is an exceedingly badly written article and it takes an effort for me to try and understand what the chap is trying to say. He says this is a story about a story and the url reads "war is boring". Well the article about war being boring is boring. I couldn't finish reading it and I believe the entire article could have been summarized in 30 words.
The woman was born so ugly that the doctor slapped her mother..Ha ha ha...is that pic before the afghan adventure or after ???
If this is the one, then surely there must be something more to it than just her face. She gives ugly a bad name.I'll hit the low points.......

That this disgraceful behavior/attitude wasn't picked-up by the mainstream press and reported for what was is beyond me....... that it was picked-up by Huff-post and extolled is simply mind-boggling.
As per thread-title: Gross unprofessionalism, by Maj. Grant, by his reporter-slut, and by Huff-post. A complete slap-in-the-face to any proper military professional who's done his or her damndest to accomplish the mission and abide by the same rules as everyone else. This sociopath was rightly kicked-out but is having his behavior rewarded nonetheless. As someone with an honorable discharge, that's probably what pisses me off the most.
BTW, here's the girfriend:
Not exactly worth losing one's career over, is she?
