The stories I heard about Flynn from one of my mentors (mainly about his actions as a junior officer and how Flynn and his brother rode McChrystal’s coattails) are wild.
Its insane this dude was the director of intelligence for CENTCOM, director of intelligence of the Joint Staff, director of intelligence for ISAF, and director of the DIA (under Obama)
