I was Invited to the White House! And a request ...

I turn 62 this month, still on the road over 200 days a year, presenting to military and law enforcement agencies world wide.

The big event for me this year was in February when I was invited to the White House as part of the President’s Round Table on Violent Video games. I confronted the major video game executives on their statements, and passed the President a copy of my new book, Assassination Generation.  I said to him, “Mr. President, it's all in my book. The Supreme Court case, the bogus research, and the dissenting opinions.” 

The President was a very gracious and impressive man in person. Afterward we all took pictures with the President in the Oval Office, and President Trump pointed at me and said to his wife, “Colonel. Brave man!” The President of the United States, in the oval office, called me a brave man. No matter whatever happens in my life, no one can ever take that away from me.

The video game industry was not happy with what I had to say. This industry is vastly wealthy and powerful (read my book for more info on that). They have been trying to shut me down for 20 years, ever since I testified to the US Senate after the Jonesboro and Columbine school massacres. 

One recent attack says, “Grossman claims he’s an Army Ranger, but he only graduated from Ranger school, he was never assigned to a Ranger Battalion." Ha! Look at the official US Army Ranger Association website (I’m a Life Member):

Who is eligible for membership?

We welcome as Regular Members all Rangers that have earned the U.S. Army Ranger tab, WWII Rangers, Korean War Rangers, Vietnam War Rangers, all Rangers that participated in Operations Urgent Fury, Just Cause, Desert Storm, Restore Hope, Enduring Freedom, and all Rangers who have served honorably for at least one year in a recognized Ranger unit.

Having graduated from Ranger School is the foremost method to qualify to be a member. Notice that just being a member of a Ranger unit for less than a year in some cases is not sufficient! But when you graduate from Ranger School, for the rest of your life you wear a patch on your left shoulder, above all other patches, that says one word: “RANGER”. 

Here is where I need help from all my friends out there.  Whenever you see this statement about me not being a Ranger, please direct people to this link, and let them know the truth.

Then, if you felt like it, you might point out that:

1. The individual attacking me is obviously a phony, a poser, and a fraud, since anyone who knows the US Army would know better, and this individual should lose all credibility on anything else they may say on such matters.

2. This blatant and easily refuted lie begs the question, are they being paid to post these attacks?

3. Whoever is paying them should get their money back.

4. And finally, they should go get a life. They can’t have mine, I’m using it to the max! I’m on my 21st year on the road since retiring from the Army, and I hope to keep doing this for another 20 years!

God bless to all my good friends out there! Rangers lead the way! 62 years old and still doing my best to lead the way, every day!
