I'm not SF and am not commenting on that part of Zlotnik's history. But he sure seems to get off on tearing down other soldiers' awards for valor.

Guys,
Chris may not be SF, but he's a good mofo. But because he's not SF, he hasn't had a previous run-in with Z-man like the rest of us. I am SF (retired) and like lots of guys on this board, including Chris, I've been to Afghanistan.
I'm not surprised to see Zlotnik insulting, demeaning and abusing recipients of valor awards. He appears to have been a one-tour-wonder in SF in 66-67 as a 1LT XO and then after a medevac time out, finished up as a CAPO (basically, supernumerary). He served in two A-camps, A-253 for a couple months and then A-443 for three more months.
He later went back with conventional forces and commanded some kind of leg company or battery, I think. If he ever served in SF again I don't know about it.
He never served with SOG, but pisses on them at every opportunity, never was in the Mike Force, but pisses on them, did not get a high valor award, but pisses on the guys who did. He has spent the last couple years asserting that Jon Cavaiani MOH was a collaborator as a POW (he wasn't, according to the guys that were there; and of course, Zlotnik was not there) and has expressed delight that Jon is ill, which is pretty ate up but it's so very typical of Zlotnik's evil, debased, degraded, self-aggrandizing and phony character.
So naturally, this great hero and arbiter of what is what in Afghanistan, where he has never been (see a pattern emerging?) wants to piss on Will Swenson and Dakota Meyer.
FUCK HIM.
Not everybody who ever passed the Q was a good human being. We had J. Keith Idema, and Donald Zlotnik, to name two. Zlotnik is a little man who can only inflate himself by attacking men he's unfit to share a paragraph with. Did I say, "Fuck him?" Indeed. With a barbwire condom.
