He absolutely has not been “in” for 20 years. Someone will publish his actual record between active duty, active reserve, and inactive reserve. He was in the National Guard as a basic infantry officer. No ranger tab, no SF, hell not even airborne, so let’s stop acting like he’s a badass. He’s perfectly qualified for leading a company-sized unit. That’s it.
He has, in aggregate, around 4-5 years of experience as a junior officer. Most of his time is IRR which has ~zero [1] obligations and is basically just a higher priority draft list for former military.
I know you know all of this, of course, and you’re either defending him in bad faith or pure ignorance, so I’m mostly replying for the benefit of others.
