    He was also a guard at Abu Ghraib… during the torture and systematic sexual assaults. And then he joined up with blackwater because he hadn’t had enough killing.

    But hey! Anti-establishment hero, amirite?!?!? Real shame there was a concentrated smear campaign run on a politician in an important race. Damn you secret establishment cabal!

      He was a guard in the area of Ghraib 2 years after the scandal broke. And you don’t get to choose your orders in the military.

      Misinformation and botnetting like the establishment did to him reveal a deep rot in our campaign and political system, on top of everything else wrong with it.
