http://www.jimwagner.org/A few readers wondered about Wagner's use of California State Military Reserves uniform in that Black Belt magazine cover and photo piece January, 2008, where Wagner said he was in his "dramatic, army combat uniform." Wagner told headquarters it would be used as a recruitment tool. But there was no mention of the CSMR in the article and they did not like it all.
CMSR E-4 Raymond Fellers states, “If you are talking about the 10 JAN 2008 memo distributed by the G5, the article and photographs were NOT approved. The memo implies that the SGT (Wagner) was given approval to work with the magazine but was required to submit the article with photographs for final approval before publication. Obviously he did not do so.”
A CSMR sargeant first class then reports - “The pictures and the actual article were not pre-approved by HQ. The photos give a misleading/false impression of the activities of the CSMR. Also, what he (Wagner) won't tell you is that at the last three law enforcement agencies he was with, he left under less than desirable conditions. No, he wasn't fired, but pretty much "leave or else" kind of thing.”
Sounds like the deceptive word of Wagner's checkered past had already reached them by June, 2008. I mean nothing at all against the CSMR, but our "front line, terrorist-fighter hero," Wagner selected the only reserve unit that CANNOT go to war. What a waste of this amazing hero and world-renown, sought-after, tactical genius!
