Note that this is not Michael T. Flynn who is a retired general and former adviser to President Trump.
- celdon25 3y agoCorrect but I probably wouldn't have felt the need to mention that in this memorial thread.
- Uehreka 3y agoI wasn’t sure if it was the Trump advisor because I don’t know his middle initial. I hadn’t heard of the writer, so I appreciated the clarification.
- sk55 3y agoIt's a good clarification. I initially assumed it was the other person.
- csdreamer7 3y agoI thought the same thing as well.
- celdon25 3y agoThe middle initial being included is often a subtle but pointed hint to that effect.
- SoftTalker 3y agoYeah that's who I thought of; the only Michael Flynn I've heard of.
- mjfl 3y agoMichael Flynn is an extremely common Irish American name.
- niuzeta 3y agoThank you. I was rather confused to see this in HN.
- Apocryphon 3y agoI had thought that, like the former president, the former general’s middle initial is J. Turns out Michael J. Flynn is actually a computer scientist of some renown: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_J._Flynn https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_J._Flynn
- merlincorey 3y agoI didn't know his middle initial, so I thought the post was about the computer scientist, to be honest!
