"Absolute And Unmitigated Liars": Former DC National Guard Official Says Generals Fabricated January 6th Account​

In a 36-page memo sent to the Jan. 6 select committee this month, Col. Earl Matthews - who held high-level National Security Council and Pentagon positions under Trump - accused Army General Charles Flynn and Lt. Gen. Walter Piatt of being "absolute and unmitigated liars" for how they characterized the events of Jan. 6.

Of note, Flynn served as deputy chief of staff for operations on Jan. 6, while Matthews was serving as the top attorney to Maj. Gen. William Walker - then commanding general of the DC National Guard. Matthews was in a unique position to know what happened that day.

Matthews’ memo defends the Capitol attack response by Walker, who now serves as the House sergeant at arms, amplifying Walker's previous congressional testimony about the hourslong delay in the military’s order for the D.C. National Guard to deploy to the riot scene. -Politico

Matthews accuses Flynn and Piatt of lying to Congress about how they responded to urgent requests for the DC guard to be quickly deployed, and claims that the Pentagon inspector general's November report on the attack was "replete with factual inaccuracies."

He says the Army has created its own 'closely held' revisionist document regarding the riot that's "worthy of the best Stalinist or North Korea propagandist.'

"Every leader in the D.C. Guard wanted to respond and knew they could respond to the riot at the seat of government," reads the memo.

Instead of responding, however, DC guard officials "set [sic] stunned watching in the Armory" while the attack unfolded for two hours during the certification of the 2020 election results.

Army has an agreement with ESPN Events to play in one of their 16 bowl games in 2021, 2023, and 2025. In 2020, 2022, and 2024 the Black Knights would go to the Independence Bowl. Army also has an option to play in the Mayo Bowl in some years.

We will know by Sunday afternoon where Army is playing. There are 83 teams eligible for 82 slots; CBS is predicting Ball State to not be picked.

Someone mentioned in another thread that our AD likely will avoid playing any of the bowls that are before Saturday, December 18th, to allow for TEEs (finals) and a week after the Navy game. That probably eliminates Army going to Cure (17), Boca Raton (18), and New Mexico (18); plus the opponents of the Bahamas Bowl (18) are already named.

So that leaves 12 bowls - however several may be locked up with certain conferences, like Idaho Potato (21) MAC/MWC, Fenway (29) ACC/AAC, Hawai’i (24) MWC/AAC, Las Vegas (30) P12/B10, and Texas (Jan 4) B12/SEC.

So possible ESPN Event bowls are Myrtle Beach (20), Frisco (21), Armed Forces (22), Gasparilla (23), Camellia (25), First Responder (28), and Birmingham (28). Of course, bowls, sponsors and networks wheel and deal teams in all the bowl games to attract fans, so almost any bowl outside the New Year’s Day are up for grabs. And I don’t expect a repeat of last year’s Bowl Sunday where like 15 teams decided they did not want to play Army.

I think getting time at QB and FB with the pipeline of talent that we continue to have is hard, so I can understand why Evans is departing. However, he is only a plebe, so I am not sure I completely agree with his decision if it is just based on football, but I wish him the best.

How will you be viewing the Army-Navy game (12/11)?

Buchanan’s career is nowhere close to over but after the last two weeks, it begs the question…who is the best Fullback at Fullback U?

Will this former UConn commit become a Black Knight?

Back on June 3rd, Joe Iacono, GBK Writer brought out several valid points regarding .... Fact or Fiction: Army belongs in the Pre-Season Top 25.

That was then and now is now, where Army is currently 3-0 the season. So, from you have seen with the Black Knights’ performances and compared to those of other programs currently in the Top 25 ... will the Black Knights break into this week’s Top 25?
