If you want to get to the truth .... you’ll have to read ALL the reports, including Redstate.com .... and CNN, and Chris “tingles running up and down my leg as I orgasm all over my self over Obama” Mathews at PMSNBC. It’s only when you hear and read it all that you can begin to see the contradictions .... and move closer to the Truth.

shoot the messenger.....it's about content

sorry, couldn't find this story at abc, nbc, cbs, nyt, etc,etc.....

Oh yeah ... NYT has it, ... but they are bashing Hickman. It’s apparently connected to some tweets from Senator Blackburn of TN.

Because redstate is a conservative name doesn't invalidate the veracity of their reporting.

To Democrats .... and apparently a few others it does.

That's funny shit there, there are x % promoted out each zone. The fact that he was only, serves to prove he was politically connected. It does not mean he was a shit hot officer.

He is a shitbag

Shows how little you know, in the officer corps making LTC is free, it's like making E4. As long as you dont step on your dick with a golf shoe you will get there. Bet he never sees a bird on his collar!

I'm fairly certain that most people on this board had never heard of below zone promo before this thread.

So I know about them and they’re no the political acts you try to make them. 95% of the 5% promoted below the zone are outstanding officers and have demonstrated the fact.
Sad that you all would personally attack anyone who has served the country so.
