This is based solely on my experience from other operators who have served in the same caliber as he describes.'

Instead of saying:

'As many of my personal friends and neighbors who have had interaction with him, have nothing but respect for him as do all operators.'

I appreciate you letting me be a member all.

If I have friends who know some astronauts, or heard rumors about astronauts, when I repeat them, does that make me an expert about astronauts as well?

There are people here who have served with Major Greer, and who have opinions that carry significantly more weight and credibility than your hearsay comments, young Jedi.

The fact that he went public and wrote a book about a classified assignment, without clearance to do so, tells me all I need to know about Major Greer's character.

If you, as a guest, persist in telling QPs here what they should do or think, I expect your membership to be quite brief and unremarkable.

Best of luck.
