LOL! Snowden's background check? Outsourced! Company that did it now under investigation.

82. It's not birther style tactics, though--and your crass insinuations that they are is what is wrong

with your argument.

Aside from being personally insulting, your logic is poor.

We know the Army isn't going to charge him for any kind of misconduct. He was given an entry level discharge.

We also know that the Army has withheld his record.

There are only two reasons that the Army would withhold his record.

The first reason is that he's under investigation for misconduct while in the Army. He's been out of the Army on an entry level discharge for nearly ten years--so that ain't it.

The other reason is a "privacy" matter--a separation code and a discharge code that can't be made public without the permission of the individual, because releasing that information will violate the person's privacy.

That's using reasoning to arrive at a conclusion. Now, you can scroll through the separation codes if you'd like, and pick one and make a guess. Knock yourself out. There's no option for "Man of the Year" though.
