I also have been around bragg more or less since 1980.
Been in several different units, (SF) and I've myself never seen such goings on. I've known a few guys that have indulged in illicit stuff, but by no extent that the book sez.
I've heard the controversy over the book, so I wanted to read it to see how far fetched it was.
Funny you mention the trooper in that way. The first book only labels him as a possible corrupt lawyer involved sez nothing about his trooper time...Dumas he lists as an Intel CPT...I've always heard he was a logistics warrant, we'll see what shakes out in the main book.
As anything, probably have to shift through a bunch of assumptions and whatever...
Makes ya wonder why the author is fluffing up all that...I'm sure dollars of course..
