Autobiography of Montana’s Tim Sheehy recalls special forces service but no record it was submitted for vetting

Tim Sheehy, the Republican candidate for US Senate in Montana, a race that could decide control of the chamber, appears to have failed to follow Pentagon rules for clearing portions of his autobiography about his time as a US navy Seal, documents obtained by the Guardian show.

Responding to freedom of information requests, officials with the Defense Office of Prepublication and Security Review (DOPSR) said that after “thorough searches of the electronic records and files”, they found no record of Sheehy submitting a DD 1910 form, required for all such projects, or any communications at all concerning review and approval of Mudslingers, the book Sheehy published with Permuted Press last year.

    I can’t imagine being a veteran and supporting Trump. He has loudly proclaimed over and over through his words and policies that he doesn’t care about you.

      The only people who support Trump are self-serving psychopaths. They’re using Trump to further their own grift. And Trump is cool with that as long as he gets a piece.

        self-serving psychopaths.

        that’s exactly it. we can’t fathom the way these people think because we aren’t physically WIRED to think like they do.

        and its why I don’t spend much time pondering why they are the way they are.

      Trump could pull his pants down and shit on the tomb of the unknown soldier, and his brain dead supporters would clap and cheer.
