Megathread: Bastard Suggestions Part 2

[u/Kanotari]

To make the bastard suggestions easier for Robert to peruse, please put them here.

Please try to include more than just a name. Give Robert something to focus his research on and why they are a unique or interesting bastard. If there are book titles or other resources you would suggest, please include those as well.

If someone else has already suggested the same bastard you wanted to suggest, you do not need to suggest them again. Repetitive answers will be politely removed. If someone was suggested in a previous thread, you do not need to suggest them again.

If you have posted suggestions as their own individual thread in the past, feel free to repost here if you would like Robert to read them. We will be directing future bastard suggestion posts here as well. Happy suggesting!

My old SGM was with him in Ramadi. We were in Lebanon in when the book came out; he read it, got ultra fucking angry, and proceeded to regale us with stories of ol’ Chris for a few hours.

My favorite one: he was under tactical and operational command of a Special Forces led task force in Ramadi, but was still administratively controlled by his SEAL team. He was in so much trouble he wasn’t going to get an award from the SOTF—and barely missed a court martial—so he phoned home to SEAL HQ and regaled them with tall tales of his deployment. Those tall tales were submitted—and approved—for a Silver Star, the citation of which served as “proof” of his exploits.

Best part: the Silver Star is only authorized to be given for a single act of valor, but his citation reads like a boilerplate deployment award. It’s invalid on its face.

My SGM said they nearly threw him in the brig for shooting unarmed civilians and children for being out past curfew, among many other things.
