Autobiography of Montana’s Tim Sheehy recalls special forces service but no record it was submitted for vetting

Tim Sheehy, the Republican candidate for US Senate in Montana, a race that could decide control of the chamber, appears to have failed to follow Pentagon rules for clearing portions of his autobiography about his time as a US navy Seal, documents obtained by the Guardian show.

Responding to freedom of information requests, officials with the Defense Office of Prepublication and Security Review (DOPSR) said that after “thorough searches of the electronic records and files”, they found no record of Sheehy submitting a DD 1910 form, required for all such projects, or any communications at all concerning review and approval of Mudslingers, the book Sheehy published with Permuted Press last year.

      Didn’t he literally publish a book, and isn’t he actively trying to work for the government?

        I know we don’t read the articles, but at least read the headline…?

      You’re getting down voted because this entire thing is literally about the book he published.
