Military career and writings

Mastriano had a 31-year military career, serving in Operation Desert Storm, Operation Iraqi Freedom and the Afghanistan War. He has written two well-received books about World War I and a number of technical analyses of the latter-day Soviet Union.[1][2][3][4][5]

Political career and writings

Like Donald Trump, whom he deeply admires, Mastriano has left behind a trail of social media posts suggesting that he's a liar, a fool and/or an ethically-bereft person. He has propagated or created unfounded accusations toward Ilhan Omar, propagated the short-lived conspiracy that Muslims were involved in the Notre Dame Cathedral fire[6] and spread the madness of Jack Posobiec.[7]
