This is the second excerpt from my chapter on Ranger School. The Obama DoD told a member of House Armed Services that records he requested—some of which I published—had been shredded.
Theres a second aspect to this coverup, tho: the Obama DoD smearing a female nat sec journalist

Journalist @SKatzKeating nailed this story shortly after the first female candidates graduated. The Obama DoD accused her of publishing "pure fiction" and not engaging in "serious journalism." Her story, they said, "failed...every man and woman" who earned the Ranger tab.
Moreover, they made those accusations about her in a press release posted to social media that called her out by name, provoking a predictable flood of hateful messages to her. But again, I independently confirmed nearly everything she wrote. With docs to prove it.
Accusing a journalist who publishes a story that painted them in a bad light of printing "pure fiction" and not engaging in "serious journalism" is exactly the kind of thing that the media has been hyperventilating about in the Trump era.
You can read the full story in chapter four of my book: barnesandnoble.com/w/stand-down-j…
