<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nEarlier we talked about the militia members who are closing on the border to augment border patrols there. My San Antonio<\/a> got a look at their leader’s military records. His name is Chris Davis;<\/p>\n The Texas militia, known as “Operation Secure Our Border,” is being led by Chris Davis, a 37-year-old truck driver who was discharged from the Army in 2001 “under other than honorable conditions in lieu of trial by court martial,” according to a summary of Davis’ military service obtained by the San Antonio Express-News.<\/p>\n The details of Davis’ discharge are protected from public view through the Privacy Act of 1974. Davis, originally from Florida, served in the Army from 1996-2001 as a mechanical systems operator-maintainer and was ranked as a private at the time of his discharge. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n I don’t know if that’s the truth or not, but I’ll take the media at their word. Not to defend Davis’ record, but I wish the media was this diligent checking on the current President’s background as they are checking on everyone else.<\/p>\n I think they’re talking about a Chapter 10 discharge, though, and those aren’t uncommon especially for lesser crimes that the Army really doesn’t want to prosecute. Again, I’m not making excuses for Davis, you certainly wouldn’t find me among the folks who would allow themselves to throw in with him, but you should know the whole story. From Fox News<\/a>;<\/p>\n But Gilchrist distanced himself from Chris Davis, a 37-year-old Texas truck driver and leader of a militia group that had promised to deploy along the border to confront and intimidate illegal immigrants. Davis, who posted a 21-minute YouTube video last week, has since removed the clip in which he reportedly said: \u201cYou see an illegal. You point your gun dead at him, right between his eyes, and you say, \u2018Get back across the border or you will be shot.\u2019\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Yeah, he doesn’t sound unbalanced at all. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
