22:45 "Mr Boone has never climbed out of a burning vehicle and in the adrenaline of the moment failed to lock the folding stock on his M4." Neither has Colonel Tucker, since the M4 does not have a folding stock.
Yes it does, his imaginary M4 has a folding stock inside of his mind which is the only place where all these heroic actions happened
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I wonder if he's confusing the Sig MCX-Spear with the regular M4. Or maybe something like the HK416 or the IAR, something piston driven.
I can only imagine that he is confusing a folding stack with a collapsible stock, but that doesn't paint Tucker in a more competent light...
I have no idea what may have actually been used at the time, but any of the folding buffer systems I've seen were way to janky for actual service use. I have to believe would have never been issued the the Col is clueless on every level. I'm open to being wrong though. Maybe his fancy thesaurus put collapsing with folding?
I trust Colonel Sanders more than that 🤡.
Shit Col. Sanders probably knew how to use a gun at least!
Now I wanna see someone make Col. Sanders Vietnam War art. I think that would be funny as hell. @@TriphexCorporation
"No, sir, I did not see you playing with your dolls again!"
I think a chicen would trust Colonel Sanders more than Colonel Tucker
This colonel isn't just a clown, he's the whole damn circus.
He just needs to be charged with perjury charges.
So his strategy is to say under oath "Everything I said is true because I say so and I was in the military"
Don't forget, "and if you disagree with me, you're dishonoring heroes."
I was in the military in the 70’s and I fired the M16, ( once), dies that qualify me as in expert in the eyes of Col Tucker? The good Col sounds like the sort of 90 day wonder that would fragged by his own men before he could get them killed.
I think this guy admitted to war crimes
To be specific, it looked like he only alluded that he witnessed implied war crimes possibly committed by soldiers under his command. Not a full confession, but anyone looking to go after the USMC and the US Government for things that went down in Fallujah might be able to use this.
It's that he was to stupid to tell the difference between a bullet wound in a child and the results from explosions (either IED, bombs or cannon). Bullets don't, and never have shredded a human body with 1 or 2 shots
He didn't manage to get cyclic rates right either..cyclic rate is rounds per minute in full automatic. Sustained rate isn't how fast you can pull the trigger its how many rounds you can fire over time without damaging the weapon system..which often doesn't matter in combat..who cares if you burn out a barrel.
@@duanesamuelson2256 That's only mostly right Duane. A 556/223 sure won't but a 50 cal or 25mm sure will.
@@duanesamuelson2256 I don't even believe his story about the offhanded shoot of the M4 (and why is offhanded or the guy exposing himself to view part of the story - they have nothing to do with the message). I don't believe that a 5.56 round went in the shoulder and came out the groin bring other than microscopic or at least the tiniest bits of intestine or liver as it passed through. No doubt, in autopsy, a lot of organ bits might be identified by a lab but there were no recognizable parts of all of that on a FMJ round that started in the shoulder and came out the groin.
Tucker went from being a joker to becoming the joke...
Given his repeated referral to his military service I believe his service record should be brought up in court.
He’s going to be a *trainwreck* under cross examination. I hope CA calls him
I suspect he might end up with a perjury charge after cross examination
And I would love to see that cross-exam on a stream! 🍿🍿🍿
@@ganndeber1621is it perjury if he’s just incredibly stupid and ignorant?
I'm hoping the 2A lawyers in this put him back on the stand.
@@ganndeber1621 He could be found to have perjured based only on his first deposition. Not due to the false statements, but because some of them were self contradicting. (Simply making a false statment under oath is not viable as perjury, there needs to be proof that he knew it was false at the time of the statement. Contradicting yourself is that proof.)
Unfortunately, who is going to pursue the purjury charge? He is a witness called by the state attorney who has a vested interest in this testimony.
Sounds like a certain Colonel needs to be charged with perjury considering how much of what he said was NOT true and correct.
He may have bought into his own bullshit though. I suspect he believes it to be true
AndTreason for going directly against 2A rights
By... the government that hired him to spew bullshit to defend their law?
Edit: To be clear, he's full of shit. But no one's going to charge him, because he's doing exactly what the government hired him to do.

This reply from Tucker was *extremely* unprofessional and childish, and leads me to wonder if he even has the experience he claims re: combat. Feels like he was a Fobbit, and has no idea what combat actually looks like.
He boasts about an alleged 14 months of combat, as if that's enough to make anyone an expert. He's definitely a walking case of Stolen Valor.
He was a Field Officer in a Warzone. Basically, kept away from frontlines because that's what you do with field officers, they have skills that aren't worth getting them killed over a stray bullet for. he had no combat experience as an O-3 or lower from what I can tell. I could be off on this, but it looks like his time in theater was at his high rank.
@@aronlinde1723 But as a Marine, he has been told his entire adult life that he 'is the best of the best' and 'second to none' in anything. The main problem with Marines in general is their inability to put anything into perspective, including themselves.
He is simply continuing this long and storied history.

@@SkunkApe407 My mother was a Marine, but she was a clerk, and apparently as knowledgeable as Col Tucker.
Just a note, it's illegal to hunt deer in CA with a 223 because of "small size and lack of stopping power." Shouldn't the state be consistent?
Good point!
As much as I'd like to accept this as a good point, this is not true. California's Department of Fish and Wildlife allows .223 (and larger) for big game hunting so long as they are non-lead tipped (i.e. FMJ or such) center fire rounds. Essentially 22LR is the only semi-common rifle-ish round that is not allowed for "big game hunting" in California.
@@stangryn4402 Arrrgh! Google lied to me, who could have foreseen this?
Pretending for a moment that I'm the State of California: *Ahem* *Portentous tone* "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds." So there! *Sticks out tongue*
Why would you expect them to be consistent with facts when they're trying to be dishonest?
Methinks the good Colonel is used to speaking to people that know nothing about modern firearms and is not used to being contradicted in any way.
Bingo!
Having served in the military I can assure you that a colonel knows next to nothing about how the privates and corporals actually act and do their jobs. He didn't do any training, officers don't lower themselves to actually train the men. The officers pass long orders from their ivory towers and it is the Sgts who do the training.
I see this in UA-cam comments on guntuber channels a lot, too. Veterans with experience shooting a couple types of guns will respond to being corrected about ballistics or other types of guns with "I served in the military, so I know" as if that's the ultimate level of firearms expertise.
@@Bacteriophagebs reminds me how law enforcement officers more often than not are neither well informed nor experts on the law. While honorably to serve in the military, experiencing combat does not automatically grant you armorers level of knowledge nor understanding same as having changed a flat tire on a car does not make you a certified auto mechanic.
@@Bacteriophagebs Yep. I did serve but I am also a long time gun guy. When I was serving, a more senior rank tried to tell me that the M16 fired from an open bolt. He also tried to tell me I was wrong because he outranked me. I offered to go get a rifle out of the armoury to demonstrate that he was wrong. He declined to be proven wrong. An awful lot of military guys and veterans don't know how their own firearms actually function.
News flash. The 2nd amendment has nothing to do with 'hunting'.
Yup. It has everything to do with stopping the likes of Tucker from forcibly imposing their world view on We The People.
Is he doing this on purpose to ruined the state's argument?
I would just LOVE to see the defense find a retired Marine General to support their side and his entire rebuttal to Col. Tucker is just "Marine... you are a moron"
Former Col.
Seriously, I'm amazed that CA somehow managed to find a Marine that seems to have taken the crayon-eating thing literally.
Craig Tucker is the Juicy Smollett of the ‘expert’ gun world
"With the greatest of respect Col. Craig Tucker, F-you" I was in the middle of a sip from my can of Pepsi at the 19:48 mark... and now I am cleaning up Pepsi from my keyboard.
With the greatest of respect Runkle, you made my day! Hahaha
I personally think using your status as a Marine Hero to strip Freedoms from Americans dishonors those who are. Freedom for thee, none for me.
He is a traitor to his oath.
As usual, Tucker gets the relationship between the AR15 and M16 wrong. The M16/M4 is the military version of the AR15. The AR15 came first, was designed for the civilian market, with no guarantee that a military version would be created. THIS FACT ALONE makes the "weapons of war" moniker totally inaccurate AND disqualifies Tuckers entire statement.
Spot on!
Exactly.
Interesting... 🤔
I did not know that.
I'm Australian. Ive never seen either, except on tv, so I'm no expert. However, I do know what you are getting at!
this is incorrect. the original AR-15 was select-fire (it wasn't actually named the M16 until it was formally adopted) and was designed directly in response to a request by the US Continental Army Command for a .223-caliber rifle to replace the M14. i personally take umbrage with the myth that "there's a distinction between the AR-15 and the M16" as it implies there are two separate categories under the second amendment, "civilian firearms" and "military firearms", and that one is more acceptable to regulate than the other, when it should be that neither are acceptable to regulate.
It certainly was on the civilian market first, although that's because ArmaLite/Fairchild Republic needed to make money on the project while waiting on the Army to waffle about after trials (with the Air Force being the first branch to adopt the rifle, the snappy-looking green Colt 601 specifically). The goal from the outset was to succeed where the AR-15's 'big brother' AR-10 had failed in its bid to replace the M14. Gene Stoner, Bob Sullivan and Robert Fremont redesigned the AR-10, scaling it down to a new cartridge that Stoner spun up the brass for himself out of a .222 Remington parent case, to comply with the Army's new request for a smaller caliber rifle.
To be clear I think your point still stands in that the first AR-15s ever sold were sold to citizens, not receiving their Army XM16 designation until a few years later. It's just not accurate to say the gun was designed for us.
I was in the Army for 20 years, most of which was in Special Ops (as a signal operator). I was enlisted and found that many officers had an enlarged opinion of their own intelligence, bolstered by the fact that all people junior to them were forced under penalty of the UCMJ to show them respect. The good officers understood that respect must be earned and that the requirement was an assumption that they would fulfill their part in the equation. This guy is just continuing to make himself look ridiculous. His idea on what rifling is for is hilarious.
these kind of individuals got fragged in nam and iraq in the right company
@@rhetorical1488 Maybe he was really upset that the civilians his troops apparently gunned down were well armed, and he wants to make sure that US civilians are disarmed for the coming 'new order'.

This was hilarious until colonel tucker implied that special agent boone is a coward.
Yeah! _He had an opportunity to serve his country, but he didn't_
Oh, give me a break and get of your high horse! The guy was a cop and an FBI agent, he was hardly a special snowflake! Col. clearly has some things to work through.
Right! 😡 Like being an FBI Agent isn’t serving us. Jerk of a jar head.
The colonel has such a cartoonish 2001 Iraq War mentality. "Me troop therefore good and right about everything related to weapons because we live in Call of Duty."
@@TriphexCorporation It is actually cartoonish that you think the Iraq War had already started in 2001.
@@robglenn4844 TBF, it started in, what, '91? And it never stopped until just a few years ago.
Inasmuch as I have always clowned on the Corps for their perceived lack of intellect, this guy managed to plumb the depths of ignorance beyond mere crayon ingestion. I question his basic claim of combat experience because I have faith that his own troops would have fragged him for the greater good.
I admit to giggling at that last sentence. I can't approve it, but I could certainly understand it😆. Anyone that dense in a dangerous situation is a liability, and I don't need military experience to know that.
Even a dumb civvie like myself wondered how he wasn't killed under mysterious circumstances during that 14-month combat command.
Your handle and profile pic are awesome!
Ya, sounds like a real Rupert.
Stupid isn't this guys failing. He is a pathological liar, possiblly a clinical psychopath. His fellow retired marines need to give him something serious to think about.
It is also interesting that the Colonel invents firearms, as in the Colt Model 70. I do know of the Colt 1911, of which there is a series 70, 80 etcetera, but no Model 70.
Thanks, you saved me a Google. I was wtf is a colt model 70?
Perjury charges when? I'm sorry, but this guy is BEGGING for perjury charges.
Nice thing about being an "expert" is you're testifying about your opinion..no perjury
Dude is testifying for the state; the state isn't going to turn around and press charges when he's saying what they want him to say.
He will be able to fall back on being an idiot if charged with perjury. That's half of their plan having him as a witness.
@@duanesamuelson2256 Even expert witness statements can be perjury if it was knowingly false. The trouble is prooving the knowingly part, which is usually prooven when they make contradicting statements (But could be proven via some other evidence showing them saying the truth prior to the testimony).
@@boobah5643 That is the big problem.

The guy doesn't know when to stop, when enough is enough! And the inferiority complex disguised as superiority... I have no words!
The thing that makes a rifle a rifle is THE RIFLING.
He said it's not good for defense. Yet then says, employee it for defensive purposes.
Pistols are rilfed too buddy. Only shotguns and muskets are smooth-bore.
@@nobodynoone2500The fact that pistols have evolved to incorporate rifling does not dispute the original claim. A rifle without rifling is not a rifle, because the defining design feature of the original rifles were their rifled barrels. It is what separates a rifle from other long guns.

QUESTION: What would it take for Mr. Colonel Tucker to earn a Perjury charge? After all, he did sign this to be truthful under the penalty of Perjury.
A court that cares about the State lying when trying to take away your Civil Rights. But this is Kalifornia...
I wondered about that. Some of the lawyers could answer definitely vs my random speculation. But I suspect that they would have to show that he knew he was lying, not that he was factually wrong. I imagine if you testify the earth is flat and genuinely believe it, you haven't committed perjury. I get the feeling the Col doesn't know he's wrong.
The other problem here is that the state is paying him to be a witness for them. They are the same people who would have to charge him with perjury, which would likely poison their entire case.
@@jakecarlson3709 Excellent point
@@jakecarlson3709 That's why I stated after he tanked their case.
Tucker is a joke...a pretender
Even worse, he's basically a traitor to the Constitution. When he joined the US Marines, he swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic. But he's become one of those enemies.
I think it's Dunning-Krueger on full display. He doesn't know what he's talking about but doesn't know it and to him Boone seems to be speaking nonsense.
Tell that to the grade school kids he claims to have presided over the murders of.
Dunning-Krueger requires one to be ignorant of their lack of wisdom, those people usually shut up and hide when they're called out. This guy just likes to feel important, the excessive use of jargon and many words to say simple things is the indicator. Future HOA president material he is.
Mr Boon "I'm a complete moron, here let me prove it", he really shouldn't have replied.
Not Mr Boone, he is the FBI guy
If the judge knows anything, he's going to tell the state's attorneys they'll get a contempt charge if they keep filing things from this guy.
This is why rhetoric used to be taught in schools, to help people think critically.
All his “counter points” seem to be unrelated data or just “because I said so” statements.
How did this guy make Colonel in the Marines? And supposedly be on the short list for general until he got caught having a relationship with a female captain? I was under the impression that the Marine Corps had standards for officers.
Had
Maybe he’s a Kentucky colonel? 11 crazy herbs and spices? I’d hate to think someone would publicly fake their service, that’s a REALLY serious offense from what I understand, but given the ad hominem attacks and wild inaccuracies and basic misunderstanding of applied physics it does give me pause.
As he can read and write ... 🙂
I suspect he counted blankets
To be honest, he WAS a Marine and WAS a higher rank. He was caught doing a lot of naughty things and was facing 66 months in Leavenworth because the most serious charge was "bad touchies". That charge got dropped, and it looked like the decision was to give him a demotion, tell him to GTFO, and sweep it all under the rug. So, officially he was dinged for the "Conduct unbecoming of an Officer" (The dittling of someone under his command.)
And, to be fair, depending on his role in the Marines, he wouldn't need to be the firearms expert he makes himself out to be. But to claim because he was in Fallujah when everything went down (twice) makes him an expert would be perjury.
He is not himself when he is hungry. Give him a crayon!
Could Don Shipley please give col. Tucker a call ?
Let's see how that goes😂
Love the idea of some drill instructor ridiculing a marine for a 1.3 second reload.
“THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT SKILL, DUNG BEETLE!”
Every case this liar has ever been part of needs to get a second look and he needs to be punished if anyone is in jail because of his lies.
After the first video, I felt the need to hold my tongue out of respect for Colonel Tucker's military service. I no longer feel any such need.
He's not accusing his soldiers of commiting war crimes, he's stating that he ( as a commanding officer) was complicit in concealing war crimes.
He casually admitted that he should be in the hague
I have a relative in the Marine Corps. Let's just say that Colonel Tucker has a ... reputation.
1. When I first mentioned this case (Ian's previous video) to my relative who was in the US Army, he had some rather choice and colorful words about this officer's character.
2. I did find an article on what looked to be a USMC publication talking about the conditions Mr. Colonel Tucker "left" the corp. Um... yeah.
Yep-he has his own Reddit shade thread, too😂

@@jackielinde7568 he didn't just get removed from his role because of diddling an insubordinate - he also got a DUI while being in charge of a nuclear transport team a few years later. This guy is a clown.
@@Chiberia I couldn't speak to the DUI, as the story I read didn't mention it. It did list he was facing several charges, with most being "conduct unbecoming of an officer" and said sex with a subordinate was related to a lot of them.
"Expert rifleman" is also a qualification score.
WOW, this guy is a petulant child whose claims I no longer believe have ANY credibility.
As a marine he was taught to dig holes The NCMs learned when to stop. As an officer it appears that he only learned to keep digging.
That's implying he would have gone to one of the Marine's two training stations. He's officer, so it's entirely probable that he graduated college and then joined the Marines with a commission as an officer. That's the route most people take when trying to get an officer's commission for all branches of the US Military. (No shade on either path to becoming an officer, but there are different perspectives based on what route you go.)
Good one👍
I was U.S. Army, my daughter was also U.S. Army, my son was U.S. Marines. Not once during training do I nor my daughter remember an officer doing any training of troops. My son stated that they had NCO's that were responsible for different types of training. If a certain NCO wasn't present, no training in that area was done. So I doubt the Colonel actually stood up in front of troops and trained them.
I even talked to an Air Force lifer friend and he said he NEVER experienced an officer actually doing any training of Airmen.
This colonel has not no experience outside the military and is used to pulling rank. What a dummy but he was in charge of ppl?
Not hard enough on that guy. What a fraud he is
I have eaten 3 meals a day for decades, according to this guy that makes me a culinary expert.
I would pay money to read this and the previous two filings to the enlisted infantry Marines who served under Colonel Ego.
I'm almost certain they would not be surprised at all by this, and that they could entertain you for hours with stories of his "expertise".
When you throw a football (American), you put a spin on it to make it tumble end over end so that it's harder for the receiver to catch. Duh.
I thought the Quarterback put a spin on the ball to decapitate the receiver, or separate his upper and lower halves.
I want to see you cross examine him about his letters. That would honestly make my whole month.
That would only happen if the other side got a waiver to have Ian help prepare and try the case, or the courts in Alberta decide this guy's competent enough to be an Expert Witness in Canada. I doubt either situation would happen.
YEP would pay good money to see this. Think we can invite him for an interview??
He sounds like every other officer that has tried to ingratiate themselves to the power structure for gain.
As I am no legal expert… is this kind of thing common? It feels out of place in court documents, as framed. Or at least I would hope so.
Spoiling for a back-and-forth argument just seems weird, especially for an “Expert Witness.”
If the judge knows absolutely nothing about the subject and is just basing their opinions on the expert testimonies, with no other independent research conducted... I could see a tactic like this working, sadly. Movies make it seem like the ranking commanders lead the charge, and it would be easy to take the things said by a rank like Colonel at face value.
@@theKashConnoisseur I should have been clearer on what I was speaking of.
@@GarGhuul I think I would have responded much the same as I did. At the end of the day, this isn't really an argument between two experts, although it can seem like it at times. All of this is to convince the judge that one side or the other is correct. It's up to the lawyers to do the actual arguing, including making arguments that impact the expert witness credibility.
I think the prosecution was shopping for a compliant witness.
Tucker is what's sometimes called a "hired gun" expert, he'll say whatever is favorable to the side hiring him. He may also be a true believer in gun grabbing, but it's hard to say.
The overuse of "Assault style" is insane. Is my framing hammer an "assault style" hammer because it looks similar to a war hammer?
Yes.
Yes it is so get it registered immediately !
Yes. Be careful it’s not used in any crimes, otherwise the one getting framed is YOU!
…I’ll see myself out of the comment section now 😅
I guess assault style stick is a better comparison. Same frame as a war spear, just a little less lethal, though no need to reload at all and it has the extra potential of harm with dad jokes telling people to stick around. Horrifying. What possible use could a civilian have with such an object? Hiking help is not adequate to justify such dangers to the public.
When you think about it, a lawnmower is a fully automatic machine knife. I'm not sure it would be easy to turn it into an assault machine knife, though. Things are heavy!
He really proves a definition of Marine - Muscles Are Required, Intelligence Not Essential ...
I think he was a candidate for the "Peter Principle", promoted beyond his capabilities.
The more I watch, just wow. This guy needs to go silent until he has done some serious self reflection.
And maybe actually learned something about weapons?😂
He is complaining that the other expert dishoners those testifying about weapons for combat. This is about self defense, not combat.
M4s, M16s, AR15s, and nearly all variants of them CAN'T have folding stocks. They have a buffer tube that extends far into the stock that can't fold. Tucker has ZERO experience with folding stocks and shouldn't be commenting on them.
Ya think if we asked Craig Tucker if an AR15 was [fully semi-automatic] his eyes would glaze over as he responds "Yes"?
Me thinks Colonel Craig Tucker has eaten way too many Crayons.
he was testing for rifling when he shoved them in his nose
Do they make crayons from soy now?
There's nothing inherently harmful about crayons. Crayon shaped objects however...
Having several crayon eaters in both my friend group and family, mere crayon ingestion alone doesn't cause this level of stupid. I'm convinced his diet was more along the lines of Columbian Booger Sugar and self applied hammer blows to the head.
Thanks for taking the time to break down the rebuttal of Col Tucker exposing his lack of knowledge on the subject of the AR-15 rifle . I highly recommend him however to earn another medal for being an expert at fabricating BS. This is where his true expertise lies.
Dear Beloved Runkle, I completely believe that you might well be unable to identify the internal organs of a cow, however, I have *complete* faith in your expert ability to recognize the external shit of a bull.

You are 100% on calling this fool out. Lots of people like this who b.s. well to fool others with 0 experience need to be called on their crap.
"Colonel Craig" reminds me of the "fully semi-automatic" officer from a few years ago!
I feel your pain so much my 7yo could laugh this "expert" out of court
When he talks about barrel rifling , I think he means the twist rate, just doesn't explain what he is talking about properly.
The US Government, along with many others, have 10s of thousands of personnel who are not military but ARE assigned weapons for 'self-defense'. This includes Marshals, security guards, the Department of Treasury (SS), the IRS and too many others to count.
Those personnel, for self-defense, are assigned M16/AR15 pattern weapons along with a whole family of hand guns that are FAR more regulated than M16/AR15 series long guns.
20 rpm for revolver? He hasn't ever heard of Jerry Miculek has he.
There are NO FOLDING STOCKS on M4's!!! That's where the buffer tube goes!!!
Wow. What a brazen liar he is.
This reminds me of being a kid and arguing whether Batman could beat up Superman 😅
The Colonel is obviously desperate to hang on to $200 an hour “expert” gig. Has he no shame?
Did Tucker describe his article 15 while he was claiming his vast combat experience???
Doctrinal rates of semi-automatic rates of fire, are NOT the rate of fire of a firearm... The real question for the COL, is why he was allowed to retire as an O-6 instead of LTC, given his article 15, dismissal from service...
well done Ian!
With leaders like that, I can't imagine why the Marines are struggling with retention!
Sounds like this guy has been watching too many Rambo movies. He thinks bullets actually blow body parts off and victims fly thirty feet backwards off their feet when hit. 😂
I enjoyed every second of this. Mockery was an excellent choice!
Craig has absolutely no firearms knowledge, like almost all military guys!!!
This is hilarious. The cyclic rate of a revolver is 20 rounds per minute? You mean to say you can only possibly fire the gun once every 3 seconds? I'd argue that someone in a self-defense shooting would have to TRY to limit themselves to shooting that slowly.
I know his statement is full of so many individual points of crap, but that one is CLEARLY 100% made up.
You can't really consider anything having a cyclic rate other than automatic weapons. He was mixing up rate of fire with cyclic.
Then the idiot added in sustained rate of fire just to mix things up further.
Even the cyclic rate of the M-16 is kind of meaningless. So you can empty a 30-round magazine in 2.3 seconds. Somebody really good at swapping magazines could blow through the initial mag and four spares (150 rounds) in about half a minute, hitting at most 5 targets, achieving a sustained rate of fire, over 2.5 hours, averaging 1 round/minute.
Jesus. If he thinks that's bad, wait until he hears about the Mad Minute...
Last video he said the AR-15 has a cyclic rate of 45 rounds per minute as being "heavy combat" kind of rates.
@@a.k47-74 Seems like he was just throwing out a mix of irrelevant, but possibly accurate numbers, and numbers he just pulled out of his ass.
An interesting point to me is that if Col. Tucker claimed that the earth goes around the sun would the fact that he said it make it incorrect?
If this guy ever ends up on the the witness stand being cross examined by anything resembling a competent person it's going to be a (figurative) bloodbath.
Makes me kind of wonder what happens if someone tries to flee the room in the middle of their testimony? "I'd like the record to reflect the witness jumped out the window and is running across the parking lot rather than answer the previous question."
Naw, cowardus is not thig guy's style. My guess he'll go down "A Few Good Men" style. You know, "You want the truth? You can't handle the truth!"
@@jackielinde7568 yeah. But I think he's going to be the one being told that. Oh wait, he already is.
"Being a BSer and clothing it in your rank"... oof, chills
Beware the crayon signature in all it's forms.
i too am VERY Skeptical that markmenship is less important to the marine corp than the ability to change mags.
You haven't seen the videos of Marines training at the range for hours? They take a big stack of magazines, with 1 cartridge in each. Band, eject, insert, release bolt, repeat, repeat, repeat. Then the weeks of retraining them to NOT eject the magazine after every shot.
I would bring in an ophthalmologist to contest Colonel Tucker's statements about the function of eyes in darkness but the good Colonel would probably say that his own opinion reigns supreme as he has used in eyes in combat rather than actually studied and done scientific testing
If I was the state bring a physiatrist on the grounds that Colonel tucker is incapable for being responsible for his own statements by reason of insanity
Did he ever say a "Human" was decapitated or cut in two?? Maybe it was a really really really small mouse?
So... The good 'colonel' doubles down on perjuring himself. Not only that, but he even contradicts his previous statements. How embarrassing.
Ret. Col. Fudd ate too many crayons.
I hear, like with candles, they're experimenting with soy-based crayons.
It sure was fun. Even when he confused civilian self defence and military operation, parently. Maybe he has early dementia, and that's why he is retired.
Love that picture of Potter keeping those toys in his mouth. He looks so proud, "look, i saved these, from Zora".
Dementia wasn't the reason he was "asked to retire at a lower rank." Officially, it was because he did the "horizontal mambo" with someone under his command. There were other, more serious charges being considered when the USMC decided best to tell him to GTFO and wash their hands of the matter.
Proudly he stands. He let his ego get in the way of the facts.
Ian, you are one of our greatest national treasures.
