This man sickens me.

I'm quaking in my boots! ;/

Reading the comments, it seems that there are a number of people that are as bat *expletive deleted*it crazy as Bateman. I'm not surprised that the article and conversation was connected to Esquire. That mag went radical left many years ago.

This.
X a bazillion.
Bugnuts with blinders on.
Wow.

How in the world can a LtCol get away with writing something that is more than vaguely threatening like that?

As I recall, its not the first such article by this author.
And its quite simple: the regulations don't apply if your politics are right under this administration.
-
Any contact info for his chain of command?
-
I could probably log into AKO and find out at least his unit. From there, a web search should reveal his commander.

Not sure who he'd fall under. The ARRC is commanded by a British officer

The opinions here are only those of somebody that thinks a “Patriot Movement”—one which executes police officers—is not working in the service of the nation.
It IS NOT a "patriot movement" that shot those officers. It was two NeoNazi Nuts.
Wimps need guns. Come and get me.
Oh, and if you try to go lethal, to convince me that your rhetoric is more intellectually compelling than my own written words, I am going to be giggling at the Las Vegas odds on you, with your guns, and me.
Your words are juvenile.
Did you graduate from the George Armstrong Custer School of Debate? [tinfoil]
-
Surely, the NRA and the Tea Party will be powerless against the onslaught of this Bateman guy. Guess I'll just go turn in my guns now.
-
Im having trouble thinking of a decent place to report this. His conduct in the article and the thread could be considered to violate a number of articles of the UCMJ.
-
You want to feel ill? Think about the guys under his command. [barf]
-
I just emailed him asking for the contact information of his immediate superior. Wonder if he will answer? :rofl:
-
If you get it, post it up.
I have contacted a senior active army officer who i trust and respect. He may know the proper escalation path for this issue. The guy is almost certainly violating the army's social media policy, as well as a few of the UCMJ articles

He's bucking for FULL colonel under the current administration . . .
-
I have received some contact info from the Col. I mentioned where i can report this behavior. Going to research the paragraph/section of the social media policy and the UCMJ articles first. May be a day or two before i can get it sent
-
I love the facebook post where NICKNAME claims he isn't throwing his rank or service around but in the same post threatens another with UCMJ processes. What a *expletive deleted*.

What 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?
The intellectual separation between what you've written and the nuts you're attempting to deride is difficult to ascertain. Frankly, you sound like a tool. I expected better, but then maybe you're working to drum up a stronger following as you transition. No publicity is bad publicity when you need the paycheck?
Stick to the history pieces sir, because at least those were well-reasoned. Might want to do some research on perps in so-called mass killings lately too. Enjoy your retirement and never miss a chance to STFU on a topic where you have more opinion and invective than fact to go on.
Robert Bateman · Top Commenter · NATO Defense College Brian, 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.
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.
EDITED FOR NICKNAMING

Go Fitz!

Go Fitz!
For the record, his behavior would be equally unacceptable if he agreed with "our view" on guns. It's *expletive deleted* sickening.
Side note, the Col i contacted, infantry brigade commander, spent most of the past decade deployed, lots of hooah hooah stuff... he thinks it's sickening too
Was my company commander when I was a private

Oh god.. I just read a big chunk of the comments. Why did I do that???

Bateman is the James Yeager of the gun control movement.

I would never have the guts to do that, because I am just a boy-toy with a gun.

Office of the Inspector General online complaint form.

Ya know, there's something very embarrassing about Bateman's ranting on about how the color yellow makes him sad. I think Gunny Hartman would throw a box of tissues at this misshapen child.
-
The guy is a drama queen who is trying to provoke a reaction.
He certainly isn't comporting himself in a manner that reflects well on the military. The only attention he deserves is being reported to his superiors for his antics.
-

He deserves a little more; after all his "I don't need a gun" bluster, they should never let him handle one again. Send him out on patrol with just a good knife, and see how much longer we have to listen to him.
-
I find it interesting that he comes off like he's tough guy who eats SEALs for breakfast, but as soon as there's a comment by a lower ranking member of his own service, he puts on his diapers and cries, "UCMJ!". It will be sweetly ironic if he's slapped down via the UCMJ.

FTFY.

Double tap.
-
Complaint filed with OIG. Link provided and he comes off badly for the military. That screed is an embarrassment to the military and the Officer corps.
And America. And men everywhere.
I guess he's trying to build a brand for a speechifying career, or to run for office, or something.
-

No, sweetly ironic will be when he's drummed out, then injured in some way that he won't be capable of defending himself without a gun, and repeatedly mugged by punks with only knives or sticks.
-
Complaint form filled out. I used my name, home address, phone# and e-mail. I also stated I was willling to be interviewed and pointed out that he was inviolation of Department of Defense Directive 1344.10 (DoDD 1344.10), Political Activities by Members of the Armed Forces, along with potently Article 117 Provoking speeches or gestures, and 133 Conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, simply due to the crass nature of his article.
Crap, I should have added Dueling (yes, it's still in the UCMJ). His open invitation to "book a date", etc. could be perceived as throwing down the gauntlet.
P.S. He's a 'tard. I can understand how he made LTC.

He's fishing for a job when he gets out. Figures he can milk a nice six figure or better living off of being the "anti-gun soldier" and useful tool for the anti's like Bloomberg who are throwing money around right now.
