Soldier/Athlete Rips Esquire And Whining Anti-Gun Boot-Licker Bob Bateman

By any measure, J.R. Salzman is a stud.

The Wisconsin native is a world class athlete who won 14 medals in ESPN’s Great Outdoor Games, and who has won nine world titles in log-rolling at the Lumberjack World Championships, including three after being severely injured as an infantryman on a convoy patrol in Iraq.

Salzman’s also a talented writer, and has just taken to the pages of the NRA’s American Warrior magazine to rip the effete liberals of Esquire to shreds, along with their token gun-grabbing soldier, U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Robert Bateman.

Salzman notes that Esquire used to be a magazine for men.

Now it’s a magazine for, well…

…yeah.

Salzman notes that there was a time not all that long ago when Esquire actually defended the essential nature of the Second Amendment.

My, how times and the magazine have changed.
