Well, for one, he seems to be pretty liberal with the truth in a way that many spooks are good at. For example he claims: > at the GS-15 civilian level, which is the military equivalent of a full-bird colonel I was previously both a Major and later NH-IV (which in my case had equivalency with GS-15-10)and the only people making this claim would be ones that want to inflate their own importance. They are completely different legally and fall under different legal codes - namely the GS system is not subject to UCMJ nor can they make certain legal decisions that an O6 can make and has a completely different promotion and evaluation. He wants to portray himself as a battle hardened commander when he’s just another run of the mill PowerPoint slinger.
