Yeah, according to Ken Aden<\/a>‘s acting campaign manager, since the real campaign manager resigned last weekend, TAH is a tool of the military-industrial complex when we’re not acting as minions of the Republican Party. This is from an interview with our new friend, The Progressive Cop<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Given the fact that you personally believe Mr. Aden, you must feel that someone is behind all the controversy. Do you care to speculate as to who that might be?<\/em><\/p>\n

A media more interested in a sensationalist story than discussing real issues. A Republican opponent with ties both to military personnel and defense contractors. A Republican Party that has engaged in exactly this sort of smear innumerable times. Independent operatives looking for notoriety and money. Take your pick.<\/p>\n

Some media and detractors have accused us of attempting to portray this as some sort of vast conspiracy against us. I don’t see it as being anything of the sort. All it takes is one person with the motivation to do so to take advantage of a situation for their own ends.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, since this blog is the one that broke this story to the internet and the media picked it up from us, I can tell you that there was nothing motivating me other than getting to the absolute truth, the same thing that motivates me in all stolen valor cases. Yeah, I took “advantage of a situation for [my] own ends” – setting an example for everyone that we don’t tolerate intentional lies about military service. <\/p>\n

The only people “behind” me are my fellow co-bloggers and we’ve busted Republicans as well as Democrats. Politics don’t factor in here…only the truth. In fact, just this weekend, Jonathon in Inhaler accused me of supporting the Obama Administration. So if both sides are accusing me of being biased, that’s pretty much proof that I’m not.<\/p>\n

However, if someone from the military-industrial complex feels like they should send me a check for nailing this hide to the wall, I’ll happily cash it.<\/p>\n

But as far Aden is concerned, after his Sergeant First Class “commanding officer” withdrew his letter of support after finding out that Aden hadn’t been completely honest with him, the campaign has apparently fooled someone else into writing a letter which conflicts with the Army’s version of events; <\/p>\n

Another individual Ken served with has submitted a letter to us attesting to Ken’s 18B qualifications; we’re currently waiting to receive a signed and scanned copy. As you well know, not everyone has easy access to a scanner.<\/p>\n

However, due to a variety of inconsistencies with this newest order, both in its contradictions of previous statements made by military personnel and its highly irregular dissemination through the news media rather than the veteran himself, we are going to wait until we are satisfied with the validity of the 3 July 2012 order before we make any release.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m sure that Special Warfare Center is tired of having to defend themselves from the Aden campaign’s accusations of incompetence and that’s why they sent a copy of the orders to JD at Professional Soldiers concurrently with the orders they sent to Aden. Obviously, if JD hadn’t got the orders, the Aden campaign never would have released them. I have personal experience with that, because the Aden campaign wouldn’t send me a copy of his DD 214 after they released it to whole bunch of other people who couldn’t decipher it properly.<\/p>\n

Aden could have nipped this whole thing in the bud right in the beginning by coming clean and apologizing, but apparently, he’s just like all of the other sociopaths who lie about their military service – he thinks eventually he can fool us into believing him. At this point, I don’t think he can find anyone living or dead who can convince me that he’s not a liar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
