Anti-Gun Veteran Spreads Rhetoric,
But Facts Don’t Add Up

Now, I’m going to cut her some slack on this, because I seem to
recall being told this when I was in the military as well.
Now, let’s keep in mind that Columbine was in 1999 and she was
out of the Army by then. Also, women weren’t allowed in ground
combat roles officially until after 2013. So what kind of “Special
Operations companies” was she in charge of? What “physically and
politically challenging missions” was she dealing with?
What we know is that she damn sure wasn’t with the Ranger
Regiment or Special Forces by any stretch of the imagination. That
wasn’t remotely possible during the time frame she describes.
But let’s not forget that Margiotta doesn’t say she was in civil
affairs. She leaves it vague. Why?
Well, my guess is that she figures people will blow off “civil affairs,”
but not “special operations.” To be fair, civil affairs are, to my
understanding, a special operations unit. They’re just not what most
people think of when they think of special operations, and I think
Margiotta is banking on that to give herself some status to try and
lend extra weight to her arguments.
Let’s not even get into the blatant bovine excrement she spreads
when she talks about Columbine. She said, “I was heartbroken and
horrified to hear how the weapons I had trained to use so carefully
– including weapons that don’t belong in civilian hands – had been
used in a school to end the lives of 13 innocent children and
educators.”
