FORT BRAGG, N.C. — A U.S. Army Special Operations Command soldier and self-proclaimed 'quiet professional' is neither, according to several of his civilian and military peers.
"There goes that asshole [Staff Sgt.] Bruckner again, using his Special Ops status to impress local women into coming home with him from the bar," said Sgt. Alan Hale, one of Bruckner's coworkers, as he looked at several newly-posted selfies on the latter's Facebook profile. "If you ask me, our boss should have kicked him back to the Big Army ages ago."
As a member of a command home to some of the nation's most elite forces, Lance Bruckner has distinguished himself from his colleagues through his lackadaisical military bearing, barely-in-regs haircuts, and loud mouth while off-duty — particularly on social media.
This has earned him the frustration of his chain of command and resentment of his fellow soldiers, sources say.
