re: #327 lawhawk

. I suspect, based on my own close reading of the text, that the author is an apolitical retired Navy commander who became chief speechwriter for former Defense Secretary James Mattis. If so, he behaved ethically when he wrote an unsigned op-ed and contracted to expand it into a book.

If this is true, then he was, in fact, being ethical. He isn’t a political hired gun who came in with the administration and stayed for the grift….again, if true.
