The Unquiet Life of Franz Gayl | The Washington Monthly
A tech-savvy Marine who made too much noise, helped save the lives of countless troops in Iraq, and paid with his career.
Essential reading. My only quibble is with the following:
Without security clearances, Gayl is all but unemployable in Washington, so he can make such weekday excursions.
There is a grain of truth to this, but overall the claim is overstated. At the very minimum, Gayl would have an easier time than many getting a full-time (non-tt) instructorship at one or more of the local universities. I doubt it would compare to his former salary, but it’s something.
