Why he might be annoying:

    Due to his spending much of his career in intelligence/covert operations, little is known about his career.
    He tried to cover up that the death of NFL star turned soldier, Pat Tillman was due to friendly fire.
    His units in Iraq were accused of torture.
    He was summoned to a meeting with President Barack Obama after he and his staff made unflattering comments about Obama and other administration officials during an interview with Rolling Stone magazine (June 22, 2010).
    He resigned as a result of the fallout over the Rolling Stone article (June 23, 2010).

Why he might not be annoying:

    He has spent his entire adult life in the service of his country.
    He has ticked off politicians, particularly President Obama, by making his ideas on how to wage the war in Afghanistan public.
    He has over 30 years in the military and is a veteran of two wars.
    His unit in Iraq killed Ab Musab al-Zarqawi, the leader of Al Queda in Iraq, and he personally id'd the body.
    He is the son of a US Army general and he and all his brothers and their sister either joined or married into the US military.
