After talking to a former military family member I’m feeling slightly skeptical.

Ok so I realize this will be a wildly unpopular question to ask here but I’m genuinely curious to hear from you all.

Over Christmas I was talking to a family member who is former military, I believe he worked as an investigator of some sort later in his career but was in Korea in the late 60s as well as desert storm in the early 90’s. He was in the army his entire career and traveled all over the world. I have no idea what kind of specific job he actually had or what kind of security clearance he held, just little tid bits here and there. Anyway he is career military and towards the end of his career was working in some kind of intelligence as an investigator in the late 90s.

Anyway during dinner him and I were talking about the UAPDA and I brought up David Grusch. He didn’t know who he was so I told him he was a whistle blower etc claiming there are black budget projects within the military hiding reverse engineering programs. He laughed out loud and said absolutely NO WAY IN HELL that guy isn’t in jail if he’s telling the truth. I explained the process he went through to tell his story and that it was done legally etc. He laughed and said they’ve locked people up for much much less and to be super skeptical of the validity of this guys story. He said guys like that get weeded out early and the second they start to question their agenda they get taken out of the roll.

I had always been slightly skeptical of how Grusch was able to share his story without any legal backlash. Maybe it’s because it’s such a wild story the gov just figured no one would listen or believe him anyway and that’s why they let him talk. I believe my family member would know better than anyone how that stuff usually works in the gov.

I wonder why the gov would allow him to share what he did? If he is following some secretive military agenda why is the gov sharing this info now? Is anyone else as skeptical of how Grusch was able to be a whistleblower when people have gone to prison for much less??
