"William M. Arkin served in the United States Army from 1974 to 1978. He received a BS from the University of Maryland. He has held positions at the Institute for Policy Studies, Center for Defense Information, Greenpeace, the Natural Resources Defense Council and Human Rights Watch. He has worked as a NBC News military analyst and written columns for the Los Angeles Times and Washington Post. He is currently Policy Fellow at the Kennedy School of Government in the Carr Centre for Human Rights Policy, Harvard University, USA.

In 1985, he wrote The Nuclear Battlefields: Global Links in the Arms Race, which revealed the location of nuclear bases throughout the world."

"Arkin is a veteran of four years in the Army (he served from 1974 to 1978) and many of his bylines from the past two decades described him as a "military intelligence analyst" during his service (his rank and units are not readily apparent). He received his BS from the University of Maryland."

"Mr. Arkin served in the U.S. Army from 1974-1978, and was an assistant to the Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence of the US Commander Berlin. He was engaged in a number of covert intelligence collection projects and was the primary intelligence analyst for the West Berlin command."

2. But Colonel O'Loofah still outranks him

He has been decorated for conspicuous gallantry^* and wears the Harassturbator's Cross with two silver falafel clusters.

(The decoration was for an incident during a nighttime action, in which to save others from injury, the Fox News commentator threw his own body on a buzzing object which might have been a small rocket.)

4. The crap detector just red lined.

At best he made captain. An O-3 as primary intell analyst for a place as hot as Berlin at the height of the Cold War? Another padded resume?

"He was engaged in a number of covert intelligence collection projects and was the primary intelligence analyst for the West Berlin Command."
