Thanks for the link Dustin!
It seems LtCol Bateman has another article up in Esquire talking about gun control. Ok. Fair enough, he's entitled to his opinion.
But take the time to read the comments after you read his snide, condescending article...I'll give you a tidbit...
This son of a bitch just hid behind his rank because he got pushback on his article.
Someone in Bateman's chain needs to take this wanna be Rambo to a dimly lit office and give him some wall to wall counseling, followed by personal instruction in Marine Corps Martial Arts...with a full demonstration of all punches, kicks and throws.....
Bateman is giving Army LtCol's a bad name. If he's an example then they're all fucking lunatics!

Brian C. EnglundWhat the heck did I just read?? Hey sir, what's the ASI for "keyboard commando"? Slap it on there next to powerpoint ranger--quick, before your terminal leave ends. Before you go attempting to cloak yourself in the colors of your country and the Army with this polemic, leave the rest of us 11A5S (and everyone else) out of your ridiculous, uninformed bravado. In fact, take your rank and military status out of it, because they do little to advance or support any argument. There is an argument here, rather than a double jack and coke...right?Ok. Brian nails my point of view on this issue, but what has me wanting to punch walls AND Bateman is his response....
Robert BatemanBrian, you claim friendship with both Nathan and Crispin? I'll pass on your critique. But perhaps you should consider that I have been an infantryman for significantly longer than you. By the way, Brian. I don't use my rank. Esquire adds that over my objection. Something to do with journalism ethics. And which part was uninformed.Yeah.
And since we're mentioning it, what part of Article 89 do you not understand, because I am not on terminal leave. So I'll contact you chain of command, shall I? There is no "RET" beside my name. You might want to research the UCMJ, while I research more mass killings. And Brian, never miss the chance to STFU.
