\u201cI\u2019d rather just come on out and get it out there. There\u2019s nothing more to say about it. I came into the Marines as an intel guy, started working at the NSA, and got some deployments out of it. The deployments were national intelligence teams [three letter agencies, ed]. That\u2019s all true. But I was never Recon. Someone called me out on it, and I copped to it. It\u2019s nothing I didn\u2019t bring to my own doorstep. I could easily have shut it down, and I didn\u2019t. It\u2019s a lie I\u2019ve been living for twenty years.<\/p>\n

This is a soul cleanse for me after looking over my shoulder all this time.<\/p>\n

I apologize to the community, to everyone for misrepresenting myself. I don\u2019t ask or expect forgiveness. I can\u2019t make up for what I did, but I can try to atone for it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m guessing that he’s seen some of the work of folks on the internet in regards to liars and expected someone to get his records through a FOIA, so he’s getting ahead of it. He doesn’t sound contrite. But, that’s just me.<\/p>\n
