I'm sorry, folks, it's a lengthy article, and I'm going to do my best to deconstruct it. I have to; not because it's my job, but because somebody has got to do it. I could just say that it's a pile of steaming fresh tripe and leave it at that, but I'm going to be a bit more definitive than that. Let's start off with this, though; there are outright lies in the article. Not only are there lies, but there are misrepresentations; manipulations and twists of actual places or people to paint the picture that Mr. Pelton wants to paint. In addition to the lies, there is the obvious attempt to cast a certain light on some of the persons who are key to his telling of the story. There is also a refutation from COL(R) Steve Fondacaro, the HTS program manager, followed by a glib dismissal from the author, again claiming to simply be reporting his observations with prejudice or slant.

They sure talk tough behind a keyboard.

But please, this whiny pee pants shit is killing me.
