Former Navy SEAL Eric Greitens closes the gap in Missouri governor’s race

Former Navy SEAL Eric Greitens closes the gap in Missouri governor’s race

by ·

Every so often, this author hands this particular SOFREP column space over to a guest contributor. The below was filed by Mr. John Martin, the Republican county clerk of Crawford County, Missouri. John is a historian, as well as an elected official, and has specialized in Naval Special Warfare (NSW) history for over 15 years. He is also a sponsored member (by yours truly) of the Underwater Demolition Team (UDT)-SEAL Association, a non-profit veterans support organization whose members are made up of U.S. Navy personnel who have served, or are presently serving, in the Naval Special Warfare community. Enjoy.

If you are a follower of Frumentarius here on SOFREP.com (and you should be), you will have read about former SEAL Eric Greitens’s campaign to become Missouri’s next chief executive.  Though his Democratic competitor was nearly pre-ordained by Missouri’s liberal establishment to win handily, Greitens has closed the gap and pulled within range of winning in these final weeks of Missouri’s gubernatorial election. How has that happened?

I will try to provide some answers.

    I think it would be fair to say like so many of the team guys he is not a quitter .... adversity brings out the best in these guys they don't know how to lay down and die quietly, it isn't in them.
