Being a veteran doesn't mean one is above reproach. We've seen plenty of examples of veterans who lie to advance a political narrative - John Kerry, Mark Milley, and Alexander Vindman immediately spring to mind.

Anthony Aguilar seems to be another one who wants to use his former rank and military service to establish his credibility. In reality, he's just another guy with a political axe to grind.

Good job pointing it out, John.

You are cottect (words, usually followed by “as usual“).😄 My personal view is that he left his part-time job at Lowe’s Home Improvement and now thinks he has a better gig going for grift with this story. Of course, that is just my opinion and I always encourage readers to draw their own conclusions.

He certainly found a willing, credulous audience in Tucker Carlson...sadly.

I have lost respect for Tucker. I hate that. It is a loss. Was he always this way in his heart?

I was a big fan of Carlson until some months back it was clear he fell off the sanity wagon. Now we know the real Tucker.

Excellent follow up, John. Your careful analysis and admirable restraint in drawing conclusions is a model for commentary on this and similar controversial stories. Thank you!!!

Not only is Aguilar a liar, he a stupd one at that. When there are videos one should check them out before conning up a falsehood to make yourself look good; it backfires nearly every time.
