He was kicked out for "sexual relations" with a female subordinate. Hardly "heroic".
Huh, that I did not know. Gross.
I don't know about that
I've seen some of those female marines
"Falling on your sword"
Literally....AND figuratively
I should be surprised by this. Why the fuck am I not surprised by this?
Depends on how hot she was TBH.
@@RunkleOfTheBaileyEh, less gross, more human. I know there is a power dynamic there, but…yeah. Anti-hero (these aren’t kids.) People are human, and humans are flawed creatures. I don’t want to disparage anyone here much less the woman, but you wouldn’t understand unless you have been in the suck. Some females get really manipulative on deployment, which then leads to jealousy and resentment/revenge, etc. It’s really bad for unit cohesion. They get benefits if they are “seeing”
Colonels don't do heroic things.
They read reports about men who do heroic things.
True story
As someone who has served and knows people who've fought and watched brothers die, don't call anyone a hero just for going into combat. Fighting and killing doesn't make you a hero. Unless you know the full story of a service member's time in combat, I'd refrain from using the term hero. Lots of assholes and psychos in the service who are far from what you'd call a hero.
This Guy is stolen Valor sorry to say list of Commendations raised red flags immediately
@@TheXanderGrimthere's nothing weird about his list of combinations other than their minor plants on the back

What red flags? Aside from the purple heart he has nothingburger, and there are purple hearts and purple hearts.@@TheXanderGrim
The USMC forums are absolutely putting this Col. on blast. Doesn't help that he was relieved of command in 2005 right after all his "bad-assedness" for inappropriate relations with a subordinate, or that time he got a DUI while he was the head of a nuclear transport team. Who chose this knucklehead?
Wouldn't that come up on cross-examination as it goes into his competency as a expert witness? I'd be mentioning it for sure.
Guys, stop being so tough on him! He's the best turncoat that the state could find on short notice!
They couldn't find someone that was competent to defend their law! That's why the State of CA had to turn to this clown.
Look - they can't get any better - there is a short supply of people with his sort of credentials who are willing to not only lie but lie in order to diminish the Constitutional rights of the citizens of their country
They had to scrape the bottom of the barrel to find someone willing to lie for them like this. We've all known assholes who pull nonsense out their ass in technical arguments.
When I was in the military, I drove past a tank in a static display at the park. Therefore, I'm an expert in armored warfare
When I road with my dad when he had to stop on base for something and I passed those old warbirds on pedestals with concrete in the engine pods, I'm now an expert in military aviation. (EDIT: Yes, my dad was in the USAF. No, he was not a pilot.)
I watched the mechanics in the motorpool tear the front half of a Hummvee off so they could remove a broken bolt. I'm definitely an expert in engine rebuilding!
Actually, it was kind of impressive to watch, they had the hood off and parts scattered everywhere, got the bolt out, put a new one in, and had it back together in about an hour. No manual or instructions, just jumping in and yanking shit out.
ohhh then I can be one, too! I even drove a tank (not as the driver) on a visitation day on a military base here in like 10th grade (so like 15 yo), when our school went there.
I saw World of Tanks played once.
Big f*cking deal. I was in the Air Force and worked on the flight line. That makes me not just a pilot but a G*d damn fighter ace. Tom Cruise made a movie about me.
Field grade officers get medals for being in theater like participation trophies... So an O-6 having medals is no indicator of "heroism"...
Exactly. I hate lifers. And he's a "15th award expert." My ass. More like, he got his Expert Badge pencil whipped 15 times. There's a reason why they have a Gunny or SSgt marking hits in the pits when the brass is qualifying. Lifer BS.

I kinda love that this "military expert" fails to realize that a self defense situation would be a "combat situation"
The check cleared. That is all that matters
One of these days someone is going to make the case that 2A isn't primarily there to allow people to defend themselves against common criminals but rather against criminal governments and as such protects the right to civilian ownership of anything the government does, has or will issues for it's own use. They will be right, thought I'm not actually sure I like the implication. But if they make it work, it will be interesting to see who starts offering new built mail-order M-2's first.
@@benjaminshropshire2900 It seems like everyone ignores that the 2A never mentions hunting or personal defense. However, the centralized military has taken over for the State's militias, and so I don't think it would help the cause much to focus on that aspect.

@@jmm6593 There are actually possible wounds which would go toward explaining his testimony.
25 years experience in the marines. 21 of them behind a desk.
very likely. but even 21 years in actual combat don't make you an honest person.
Jesus Christ he claims barrel rifling does the opposite of what it actually does lol.
He isn't wrong, exactly, but he's being intentionally misleading. AR rifles for military use have had barrel twist rates from 1:14" to 1:7", depending on the projectile they are designed to fire. And yes, the slower twist rates caused tumbling with the 55gr fmj projectiles when they struck tissue. But that was more a feature of bullet design. Just like modern twist rates that are far faster also cause more modern and far longer bullets to fracture and tumble when striking tissue. Again, this is a combination of bullet design and twist rate.
haha ikr I thought rifling was to stabilize the bullet not make it tumble to cut a person in half or cut a head off. I haven't been shot though so what do I know?
@@jasonshults368 Yes, everyone with cursory knowledge of the issue knows it's an intentional part of bullet design depending on what the purpose is like in armor piercing pdw rounds like the FN 5.7×28mm
Every time his qualifications are brought up, I want to yell at him "what does that have to do with the price of butter?" The man is a firearms expert in the way an alcoholic is a medical expert.
My brother, who saw two tours of duty as a network tech in the US Army said he's more qualified to testify about weapons that this "Colonel". The "Colonel" was a commander over a brigade and prevented by regs from engaging in a firefight directly with the enemy. That's for lesser ranked officers, like Corporal Pat Tillman. the "Colonel" would have been in the rear.
And this guy likely came to the Marines by way of College, and not from up in the ranks. If he were enlisted who went through Officer Candacy School (Or whatever the heck the USMC version is called), sure. But he probably went into the Corp with an officer's commission in hand.
@@jackielinde7568: REMF.
@@jackielinde7568 The Marine version of ROTC? And what you said....I was 36K in the Army, my sons were satellite imaging specialist in the Navy, and the other an electronic warfare something-or-other in the Army. They both laughed at this, LOL. I can still shoot pretty accurately but I'm by no means a "gun person", but my computer programmer and roofing contractor sons are very sharp, knowledgeable about firearms. I hunted with a 30-06 (bigger round) but never managed to cut a deer in half with it. This stuff's ludicrous. 😂
@@Doxymeister Oh, I agree. My "thing" wasn't Military. I was "The Band Geek" in high school and college and went into IT Support afterwards. Outside of plinking targets with 22 LR, my only "gun" qualification is a Hunter's Ed course in middle school gym class. (One of the few things Arkansas did right in the 1980s.) With that said, the ONLY time I knew a single shot of ANYTHING fired from either smooth or rifled bored guns that could bisect a human was "things from Anime and/or video games". No military experience needed.
Yeah, this needs to be passed around so we all can laugh at it. Would be great if this guy was brought up on Perjury charges. Sadly, won't happen.
I was an Army officer for 9 years; as soon as I realized his “expertise” was based on officer role alone, I knew it was BS. Him being an officer makes it less likely that he’d be an expert on anything besides leadership, small unit tactics, administration, project management, and warfare strategy/planning. If he’d been enlisted, then I would have given him more benefit of the doubt.
We often don’t get to go to all the cool schools that make you an expert in your field. For example, I was a Logistics Officer but I hardly ever went to courses like Fuel Handler, Ammunition Handler, maintenance training for new equipment etc. Those aren’t skills that are necessary to do an officers job and in order to go to those schools you basically have to take a slot that could have gone to one of your soldiers (which is possibly unethical and definitely counter productive to unit efficiency).
Besides that, the opportunity to go to those schools really expire after you make Captain because at that point you’re starting to go speciality schools for high level warfare strategy/planning related stuff and you’ll probably never again have a job that requires you personally to have those hands-on expert skills (you’ll have people working for you 12+ years experience doing those things and your time would be better spent leading and planning).
When he was mentioning all of his credentials, he forgot to mention his B.S. in BS…
you mean the one that has 2 of one that no one has ever gotten 2 of
Nah, he failed that classwork because none of this was ever believable.
Listen. I have a BA in BS and I actually know what I am doing with firearms.
🤣
Sure he did, Army Staff College and a BS in criminal justice. Criminal justice degrees are the women's studies degrees of the right.
My gun experience - grew up as a farm girl with long guns and have read some things purely out of curiosity. Even *I* find this “expert” to be laughable. The rifling one really got me. I looked up a basic explanation some years ago and even I understand it better than he does!
All his info is basic and he is totally off.
I would say its much more likely hes purposefully lying to push a political agenda than him actually being this stupid. Purjury is rarely persued and when hes testifying for the state he could outright commit treason and I doubt the AG would do anything about it.
@@djftremblay5895that guy wasn’t even on paper.
They must have chosen him especially for how stupid he is - so much wrong with what he says. They need to stop using soldiers for expert, and actually call up an actual gunsmith.
Same here. I grew a farm boy and got most of my training from my father who served two tour in Vietnam. I’m no expert by any measure but I was easily able to tear this guys testimony apart. I guess the military is not immune to the leftist mind virus.
Would be interesting to talk with men who served with him. I imagine they would have some really interesting information about this guy
From other comments it's the women who served with him who might have the interesting stories.
@@newperve yeah i was thinking the same thing, but also people close to him would shed some light on this fool. Disgusting that this guy calls himself a hero. Hes wrong about so much that I thought was common knowledge, such as the true purpose of rifling. Shame cos this guy has done some shit and earnt medals in combat etc, way to shit on all of that eh?
Doesn't matter if he's wrong about a bunch of stuff, he said what he was paid to say.
He was paid to provide an expert opinion. He exposed his ego and subsequently ruined his reputation when he decided to lie under oath intentionally or otherwise. The Marine corps should remove any medals he so call "earned" for this. If you are asked to speak as an expert on a subject and are not such an expert, have some humility and say so. This "expert" is just looking for a pay day.

It was a conglomeration of fudd lore shielded by bro vet stupidity.
This is a fraggable officer.
Expert probably should have known that LAV-25 haves 25mm chain gun. It's literally where the name came from.
Heck, last I knew the LAV-25 was a prototype vehicle, and that the name didn't actually apply to any of the Mowag Piranha-based vehicles actually bought by any military. But, yes, the LAV-25 was armed with the same 25mm Bushmaster autocannon Bradleys carry.
@@boobah5643The LAV-25 is a USMC vehicle that the USA borrowed a few to evaluate, but the Army eventually went with the related Stryker family of vehicles.
You can immediately tell he has little competency with firearms other than service weapons when he refers to every AK variant as an 'AK-47'.
Its worse this Stolen Valor Document now
Actual professionals always say AK rifle or AK pattern rifle for this exact reason. It can be a bitch to identify the variants and nobody wants to look dumb :3
@@TriphexCorporationthis guy wasn't afraid of looking dumb😂
You're right in that there are hardly any actual AK-47's out there, but referring to AKM's as a 47 is a pretty common use type of thing

He’s an officer. He probably got his Purple Heart wound from a wardrobe malfunction or an accident trying to open a bottle of champagne.

Stabbed himself with his dress sword.

The adversarial system is partially to blame
An officer's medals and ribbons can easily be earned by others while he sits at a CP taking on the phone and sending emails. Loads of officers I've met are marginally competent or knowledgeable about the basic weapons used by an infantryman, let alone technical experts. Being a military officer doesn't mean much, even as a USMC infantry officer.
I can say the same for all the dumb E4 and below I saw. It depends.
Ironically the most knowledgeable soldier I've ever met on all things technical was a PL i had in a tank company. However, he was a green to gold Lt, not a typical dipshit out of ROTC.
Yes, look at John Kerry!
Rifling to make the bullet tumble, OK I give up now.
Yep, they did that, and taught soldiers how to use it. We did it better than the Russians, retained more accuracy.
@@mattrothe149
Tumbling bullets are more accurate?
For fun: recall and charge him under Article 133 of the UCMJ (conduct unbecoming an officer, includes “dishonest or unethical behavior”).
His only meaningful defense would be incompetence. He’d have to argue he wasn’t being dishonest, just incompetent (he couldn’t even claim simple error as he swears he’s an expert on this).

Too bad this "expert" is unfamiliar with "AR" does not stand for "Assault Rifle." The AR is for the Armalite Rifle.
The prefix simply refers to the name of the manufacturer. Armalite made a shotgun with the "AR" prefix, the AR17.
Yup. Probably one of the biggest mislabeling there ever has been re firearms - I've even had to reeducate some friends of mine who should've known better on this subject. The anti-gunsters spout this off as though it were gospel. And then there's the term "assault rifle" - don't get me going on that one.
He didn't say that, he's using "Assault Rifle" in the context to the definition of California laws on "Assault Rifles" and even half the video went through the legal criteria (which is oddly accessory based and has nothing to do with the serialized portion of the lower receiver).
@whatabouttheearth just considering he used the term "Automatic Rifle" almost interchangeably with "AR," I would not be surprised. He had too many instances of just being flat out wrong to be an "expert".
I literally laughed out loud when you read "A single round is capable of severing the upper body from the lower body, or decapitation". 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That ridiculous statement right there should make any judge toss this clown out of court for pretending to be an "expert"!
He was talking about squirrels.
Well, Bo Jiden claimed that a lung can be blown completely out of a human by one bullet so I guess these two are high on the same drug.
Those of us who have served, have come to expect this type of "intelligence" from officers. The majority (not all) of military officers are detached from logic and common sense.
Can we blame the college education?
Not all senior leaders are equal . . . I dare say you couldn't find a similarly ranked NCO this deluded.
This colonel, like the general who fired full semi auto, are proof that military officers should not have weapons. Leave the fighting to the troops that have experience and know how.
Officers typically get annual "weapons familiarization" training. They are far from experts.
I'm a retired Marine gunnery sergeant, And I agree this guy is a blithering idiot. But officers just like enlisted have their 10%er 's. So it's a little unfair to generalize all officers in this category. The Marine Corps at least has some damn good officers like General Gray and general cheedum And a whole lot more than I knew in 20 plus years of service. Again I agree with your comments on this guy but not on the officer corps as a whole.
If the full auto on a 5.56 is "too difficult to control", I must be super human...
Let alone the 5.56 is not actually a battle cartridge its an intermediate or hunting round by standard .
Your average person probably wouldn't be able to control the muzzle end in full auto. That said, I don't think it'd take much training to bring someone up to speed on muzzle control with a 5.56
The military really got rid of the full auto M16A1 because of a concept called Economy of Ammunition which they felt service members generally didn't take into account.
The actual round vs. hit ratio allegedly went up with changing that out for semi auto only and also with introducing different training service wide.
Lets not get into a friend of Mine's select Fire G-3. On a standard competition target he gets a Magazine dump at 20~25 yards and sontroled bursts out to 100 yards.
Thats true though lmfao. Ive taken classes with Larry Vickers he said the same fuckin thing. 5.56 full auto IS too dififcult to be used in combat sans supressive fire.
Youve never shot an M4 at more than 50 yards if u can get more than two shots on target per mag. I run a range and full auto on a M4 is a last ditch measure, you literally dont use it in combat
The jarhead Col is so full of it. I served 8 years in the US Army from 70-78, I trained with and carried an M16A1 in Vietnam. I remember in Basic Training at Fort Lewis, one of the Drill Instructors took an M-16 with a 20 round mag and put the butstock on his balls, then let rip on full auto. This made us much more comfortable with the lack of recoil of this rifle. We heard that crap about hit the dude in the toe and it comes out his head, but most of us, especially we from farm country who hunted with our dads from age 8 on knew better. There is so much bull that went around about the M16 like it was made by Mattel toy company, the powers of the 5.56 vs the 7,62, the old crap about the Commies could take our ammo and fire in their guns but we couldn't take theirs, hell I still hear that one.or I was a gun nut, did 24 years on the PD after the Army, I am a certified gun smith, I reloaded for many years, I always qualified at top 2nd on the range, and am a lover. I have owned and fired the Mini-14 and the AR-15 over the years, carried them in the car with me on road blocks and when the shit hit the fan on the PD, and carried the M16A1 in Nam as well as the M1911A1 both in the Army when I carried the PRC77 and on duty for some of my police days. That Col may have served honorably but believed every BS he ever heard, Oh I did blow the top off a White Tail deer's head with a 25-06, hit her running straight at me between the eyes and lifted the top off her head Man I caught shit from the boys who were with me that day saying I must have saw antlers and since I had a doe tag I did the head shot.
Not a gun expert and even I knew that rifling makes the bullet not tumble in the air. Just a history nerd. Kind of amazed he would actually put that in a written statement. Everyone should know from history class that rifling the barrel was a huge step up from muskets bc the musket balls would tumble in the air.
I’m not even mad as a gun enthusiast. I’m mad as this should be basic history knowledge
it makes me think some people have no idea of truth.
like no such concept at all.
regardless of ethical values, they fundamentally disregard truth evaluation of any statement.
what they percieve INSTEAD of truth appears to be "how pleasing/comforting/conforming a statement is"
Well, the other huge step up in accuracy from most muskets were bullets that actually fit the barrel. Mind, solving that problem simultaneously allowed rifling to matter, so you don't really see smoothbores designed for well-matched rounds until modern tank guns.
@@boobah5643 True. Rifling is just usually the thing that makes it into the textbooks as the big advancement.
I know right, It is basic knowledge, Im in NZ and I know this, NZ likes its hunting but its not a crazy gun culture here, esp after the mosque shooting here in Christchurch, that prompted the taking of our gun rights too. Yr right rifling was a huge improvement over musket balls etc how wrong can u be about rifling? It was designed to stabilize the bullet in flight for accuracy not to tumble when it hits flesh to "cut bodies in half or decapitate someone". I'm not a gun nerd either just a history nerd too lol. Im mad too that this self professed hero (I don't know any hero who calls himself a hero, does that not instantly disqualify you?) thinks he can get away with saying this actual bullshit, but this is the sick world we live in atm. God help us all (and I'm an atheist, I'll take any help at this point) haha.
Do the words out of this guy’s mouth remind anyone of Bill Blair.
In my experience, this is exactly the type of "expertise" and "expert" from which the government obtains advice. This is why every single thing is collapsing and society as a whole has failed.
Not just the government. They hit every single kind of media, as well, and people blindly believe.
As someone with more combat experience than this guy, your criticisms are spot on.
Damn the fudd of the year title has to be awarded early.
I'm starting to think that Officers should need to be NCOs first.
Now there's an idea! Leaders that know something on day one.
That isn't an uncommon opinion. But there are now officers pushing back against this rising sentiment and saying no enlisted/former enlisted should be allowed to ever get a commission.
@@flyboymike111357 and those are the officers who are more than likely the most insufferable pieces of garbage. The ones who wouldnt want to go outside the wire with their men for fear of being fragged.
@@flyboymike111357 I’ll use WWII as an example of excellent personnel rising with a question.
During those combat years, how many USA men were made 2nd Lieutenant from the Noncoms?
As a former officer that was never enlisted, I kinda agree. I like the idea, but there’s a couple of reasons I think it might not be realistic:
1. Recruiting incentive: if you want to recruit college students to join the military, offering them an E1s (or even an E4s) paycheck as reward ain’t enough. A lot of them folks have serious debt; you can offset that with more scholarships but that’s more expensive (and more military spending isn’t a popular platform these days)
2. Manpower: requiring enlistment time before becoming an officer makes the officer training pipeline significantly longer/slower. Effectively, training a new officer would take 4 years or more (not including prerequisite college/ROTC) so that slow of a process probably couldn’t keep up with the rate officers typically leave the military.
You could make up for both those issues by lowering the standard of NCO you allow to become an officer, but then you create other problems that may be worse than the one you were trying to solve (I.e., shitty NCOs that just become shitty officers, a shortage of NCOs in certain specialty fields because you had them become officers, etc)
Maybe you could also alleviate the problems by reducing the number of officer billets military wide. For example, getting rid of the rank of 2nd and 1st LT and the associated billets. That has it’s own problems though because those 3-4 years you’re shaving off the Officer development path (being an LT is more about learning than doing a job) has to be made up for somehow or your losing value. You’d either add to the workload of junior NCOs by expecting them to do and learn what an LT would while developing as an NCO or you’d have underdeveloped officers in Captain positions (including key staff positions and company command; very dangerous).

How is it that such blatantly obvious falsehoods made "under penalty of perjury" don't result in jail time for, you know, perjury?
Probably because the new trial of this case still hasn't begun. It was originally Rupp v. Becerra, filed in 2017. In 2019, the judge ruled in favor of California, which the plaintiffs appealed to the Ninth Circuit. The Ninth Circuit sat on it until they ruled on Duncan v. Bonta (the first time). And then of course Bruen happened, and the Ninth Circuit kicked it back down to the District Court. This report was submitted to the court in January of 2023, with Mr. Boone's rebuttal in February of that year.
I was a Instructor in the army and one thing I can say confidently is just because someone was in the military doesn’t mean they know anything about firearms 😂
Honestly, he has probably cost more lives in combat by his stupidity.

Out of curiosity...why wouldn't he get charged with perjury? He has to know some of those statements are completely false.

..how do you not know this stuff..
Considering it is "illegal" to use soft point bullets in war, I'm sure a round intentionally designed to tumble would also be illegal.
@jshtaylor
..i have zero idea what he meant by tumbling, I'm confused there..
..far as this active duty, vetrans stance, is nothing more than opinion, and one i don't support, i am 2nd amendment period..
..though most mechanical things he said about usage were true..
..5.56 and .223 are glorified 22 rounds, and will remove you from the fight, if not just delete you..
..soft rounds, i honestly cannot speak to..
@@xlasingx TLDR: turns small bullet into big bullet = more damage. Long answer: Tumbling is when the bullet after entering the soft squishy stuff rotates around it self making it "bigger" by changing the dimensions of the part of the bullet doing the cutting so the side of the bullet instead of the small pointy bit. it also tends to cause yaw which moves it off the straight line path through the squishy stuff. this also has the added benefit of spending more energy inside the target than wasting it traveling through the target and flying on. TLDR: turns small bullet into big bullet = more damage.
@@jshtaylor eeeeeeeeh, have to prove it was intentional first ))
Wisconsin v. Rittenhouse should contain info about the minimum engagement distance of a riffle.
Well said!
Six inches is finally not frowned upon. Ha ha ha
See what happens when you don't have "celebrity" experts,
I think Alec Baldwin is available.
Hahaha!
What he probably meant was the model: Beretta M9. Over-corrected by accidentally removing the caliber. Who proofread your work? - Umm.... No one? 🙄
I served in the USAF and have friends and colleagues that served in the Marines, that Colonel is a disgrace to the military for either lying or just being that wrong.
Or willing to write whatever they wanted for a fee.
Folding stock, on an AR platform, with a buffer tube. OK expert.
They do exist but you cant shoot the thing (well maybe once) with the stock folded. They are also really uncommon upgrades, why bother when you can get a collapsible stock and save yourself one more thing to think about when you need to use it, other than they look kind of neat.
I would like to build an SBR with one so I can carry it in the saddlebag on my motorcycle. The folding adapter runs about $200, so a bit pricey.
There's a reason that the marine Corp is stereotyped for being experts on sniffing glue, and this Colonel didn't do anything to fight that stereotype
Point of order, they’re crayon eaters…
Hell, this man makes the crayon eater caricature look intelligent.
Big difference between officers and enlisted Marines.That's why many were fragged in VietNam.
By 'Beretta .9m', he *might* have been referring to the Beretta M9, which was the designation under which the US military adopted the Beretta 92 pistol.
That said, it's not like Bonta was going to retain an expert who actually understood the difference between semiautomatic rifles and machine guns.
Didn't even take time to proofread?
Guess they are getting what they paid for!
In regards to the whole "making a gun more controlled is bad for self defense" portion, that means the less control you have the better the firearm is for self defense. If you follow that assertion all the way down, it means that a frag grenade with a damaged pin is the best self defense weapon, because you have ZERO control of when/where it fires metallic projectiles.
So you're saying that he's wrong about grenade launchers being inappropriate for self-defense purposes?
@boobah5643 yes, but only because he says he's wrong
I think the Colonel was hungry and needed a box of crayons, when he wrote that paper.
This Col's regimental Gunner has failed him.
What about the 4 police that fired 28 rounds at a person and only hit him 4 times . These officers probably shouldn’t have any kind of weapon !
Police hit rate is very low. I can't remember if it's 20% or 7%. Either way, very low.
They say in war it takes an average of 10k rounds to dispatch a single enemy combatant. So by military metrics, those cops were doing a great job lol.
Were they stormtroopers?
I guess he never participated in house or trench clearing. It’s been 30 years but last time I did FIBUA / CQB training it was probably the only time we were allowed to go full auto.
I got buddies who said room clearing CQB you even bursted you failed , no auto semi only but they also were operators not standard troops, also why the high tiers use light trigger pull instead of the standard fair rifles .
Smedley Butler, was right "War is a racket".
.9m, that is bigger ammo than the main guns of the Japanese Battleship Yamato.
Another example of why “your wheelhouse” is a thing. Thanks Ian.
Just because someone has a chest of fruit salad, doesn't mean they know sh!t.
If I were the judge in this case, I'd have this "colonel" immediately arrested for purgery and fraud.
That's the AR nickname: "The modern guillotine" everyone knows that.
Expert 😂
Thumbs up for the technical use of the term "horse sh$t"
Where did they find this guy, and how can anyone spout that much BS and get away with it in that sort of setting?
The short summary: it is possible to be both a war hero and a clown, although the two very rarely coincide.
I disagree. Most of the people paraded as war heroes are clowns.
Why did they call Firearms Training Simulator, FATS and didn't call BRF, BARF. A real opportunity was missed here
Bro had a stroke, the very purpose of rifling is to reduce or prevent tumble.
Remember the Air Force General that went to an indoor range with an AR and an MSNBC reporter so the Air Force General could share his own expertise with the platform? The guy had no experience at all and couldn't have hit the broad side of a barn. He was completely shocked to the point of jumping when the rifle went bang and his handling of it proved he had not in many, many, years fired any rifle - conceding that it might be difficult to have gotten to where he was having never fired a rifle at all, as one might have assumed just watching his performance.
I don’t see him state anywhere in his opening paragraph that he is a certified firearms expert, and has testified in court as such, a perfect example of this would be someone like Massad Ayyoub, who is testified in hundreds of firearms related cases, and is a generally accepted expert with impeccable credentials, and unfortunately, once you get up to the rank of captain, it all becomes about the politics, even in the military, because every captain wants to become a major then they want to become a colonel, and then they want to become a general and do that they have to play politics, and not taking away from anything that this guy might’ve accomplished in his military career, but he is certainly no firearms expert, this guy is obviously a hack job. He can’t even mention Flotto are good for suppressive fire, which is the correct term you would use if you knew what the hell you were talking about not area fire
So, it seems Col. Tucker was just full of pucker
if you tell non-truth under oath you RESCIND your relations with the legal system and must therefore lose all its benefits. permanently. and immediately. and even retroactively.
This is exactly the "expert" I would expect The California Dept. of Infringements to hire.
$200 per hour... selling off his oath pretty cheap.
LAV-25 has a 25mm bushmaster chain gun not a 20mm
It is kind of shocking that me being hardly an expert on weapons, with some fair knowledge of physics could debunk this expert testimony.
As a Bernalillo county resident (abq is in Bernalillo county) this makes so much sense. Sigh. Can we not claim him please?
just because you drive a car every day, does not make you a mechanic.
Oooh goody, I really love it when Ian Runkle enters the snark zone😂
I am definitely going to share this with my husband and son, both hunters.
Thanks Ian 😁
With our certifications in Canada in order to be able to possess a firearm allows us to know more than a decorated marine?!
Funny eh, our basic rcmp non restricted and restricted courses give a better expertise than his military experience.
@@djftremblay5895this guy is making the case that the US needs to implement similar gun regulation to Canada, at least they would know more what the hell they are talking about.
Although I will admit under the liberals we have too far with restrictions.
This is what people are not getting, its a global agenda to get the weapons out of peoples hands.
Look at new Zealand, UK...
The only differences we have are our laws and constitutions, they are trying to implement with different angles because of our different laws
Although lately under the Trudeau government they have gone too far.
Using crisis to justify implementing severely restrictive firearms regulation that makes no sense.
NO!!! American Vet here! follow the truth! and double...tripple check
Jesus Christ, you're telling me, when I was 9 years old. I could outshoot everybody in the f. B. I.
The funny thing about these anti-gunners is that they praise the Mujahideen’s resistance against the Soviets, but claim there is no use for these weapons in civilian hands
They are the soviets now.
Funny you should mention how many rounds police expend. I remember a "shooting incident" involving the City of Phoenix Police in the 90's, where there was a person with mental health issues that had a knife. I remembered that several officers expended over 40 rounds. I don't think they hit the suspect, but they did wing two homeless people in the area. Turns out this kind of thing is common for the police.
The police are rather famous for being shit at shooting, yes. Guns are apparently a sort of magic talisman that certainly require no practice to use competently.
Can you say you've never lived as a civilian without saying you've never lived as a civilian....this guy can.
In my 4 years as a USMC Grunt, I saw a lot of jackwagons like this .... way too many, really.
Love ❤️ it
Hello from Beautiful British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦
Anytime someone uses military or police accolades to substantiate firearms expertise I am reminded of a story of malicious compliance. I believe it was Iraqveteran8888's story but I am unsure. Essentially he was at his post armed with an open bolt gun, I forget which one, when a superior comes along and sees the gun in what he believes is an unready state with the bolt locked to the rear. The superior orders him to let the bolt forward so the weapon will be ready to fire. He explains that that is not how this weapon system operates and that the only way to let the bolt forward is to fire a round. The superior is hearing none of it, and he has had enough of trying to explain it through the threats of insubordination so he aims into some sandbags and lets the bolt foward, as ordered, firing a single round. He got in a lot of trouble for it but not nearly as much as he would have, had he not been ordered to do it.
It might have been a grease gun. I've heard instances of rear echelon units being issued them during the gwot.
@@toestr2120 from what I remember it was a mounted and belt fed gun in an elevated almost sentry position, I want to say outside the mess hall but it has been years since I heard the story
@@toestr2120 As late as Desert Storm, tankers were issued the M3 Grease Gun. And yes, it is an open bolt gun.
first hint he had no clue is that he was an officer, not enlisted.
If the auto feature in the military is not useful then lets get back that right for civilian use
Are we assuming the colonel's credentials are valid? He's the antithesis of every infantry officer I have ever met, seen, or heard of. The only reason I can think of a marine would lie through his teeth under oath is if he's suffered too many TBIs.
I don't think he lied through his teeth. I honestly think he truly believes the "horseshit" he's spreading! That or GPT chat wrote it for him.
They say, "once a Marine, always a Marine," but surely there is some process to pull this guys association with real Marines, right? Sort of like when a man reads instructions and loses his man card? He may still have the genitalia but is no longer a man - same thing with this Marine; he is getting the check but surely isn't considered one of the bunch by real Marines - current or ex.
