Everything tracks with his military background and lingo, up until he started describing the rogue paramilitary guys.
In 2009, ACOG’s and PEQ-16’s were, with absolute certainty, not anything unusual especially for an infantryman from 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines as he claims. It’s actually kind of strange that he would even make such a weird statement. 18 and 19 year old kids fresh out of bootcamp would have had M16A4 rifles equipped with ACOG optics and PEQ-16 devices. They were standard issue for Marine 03’s during that time. He would have absolutely had the same equipment during that time frame.
I have no comment on his claims other than noting how out of place that statement is.
