A SOLDIER'S PERSPECTIVE
THE WEB'S LEADING MILITARY BLOG SINCE 2004
I’ll be cross posting this on Youserved and my site, but I wanted to give everyone a head’s up that the Youserved Podcast will be verrrrrry interesting tomorrow night (Thursday, March 4th) and maybe you should block out 2 hours, from 6pm-8pm central to listen. The guys will have Adam Kokesh as their guest. If you are familiar with this controversial figure, you will know he is a former (or not so former) IVAW member who is running for office in the state of New Mexico. Milblogs take offense at some of his IVAW shenanigans and the fact that he leaves out some pertinent details of his military service when campaigning or talking to the press, for example, stating he was a sergeant in the Marines when he was actually finally discharged as a corporal. You know, somewhere in there, he got his ass in a sling and neglects to share that info. But anyway, the interview should be interesting and lively, so go to the BlogTalkRadio site and give it a listen tomorrow evening.
You can find BTR Youserved here.
You can find previous Kokesh posts here on ASP here, here, here, and here (in chronological order).

Something real fishy about Kokesh. Really fishy. What did he do to get busted down? And was the discharge honorable?
Marcus
Kokesh got busted down from Sgt to Cpl for bringing an Iraqi pistol back to the US from the war zone. He left the reserves to the IRR with an honorable discharge, but was recalled to Mobilization Command and brought up on charges after his mock patrols in uniform brought discredit to the Marine Corps. He was then given a General under Honorable discharge from the IRR. Basically, he was kicked out of the IRR early.

Ok, first part, I don’t have so much of an issue with. That has been done for centuries. Hell, my grandfather has a CMH and he did it.
Mock patrols? That one I don’t get.
This guy should never hold public office, ever.
Marcus
Times are different now, Bob. They kinda frown on bringing home war trophies and firearms that aren’t GI.
Bob The Liberal
They did then too, Marcus. They did then too. But everyone still did it.
