Department Of Homeland Security Commenting About Michael Yon’s Treatment

I haven’t written about Michael Yon’s[1] mistreatment by the “border bullies[2]“. So many people have written about the topic, it seemed unnecessary. I have followed Michael’s work all over the world. He’s solid. I have no reason to believe that he’s not putting forth the truth about the border folks. Besides, who hasn’t dealt with an over-zealous jerk in a position of authority? Hell, it seems to be a job requirement to be a flight attendant these days.

Anyway, over at Blackfive[3], some commenters have been defending the actions of DHS with Michael Yon. Laughing Wolf, who you’ll recall from my podcast[4] about the treatment of PTSD by the V.A., did some digging and found that two sock-puppet commenters are coming from the same I.P. address within the Department of Homeland Security.

Interesting. Is this official tax-payer funded propaganda from within the DHS or is the commenter a rogue agent within the fold defending his co-worker’s honor?
