From Army Times:

A West Point professor who reportedly lied about his military record and published an inflammatory article stating that critics of hawkish military policy should be charged with treason or targeted as enemy combatants has resigned amid an uproar of criticism.

A spokesman at the U.S. Military Academy said William C. Bradford resigned Sunday, about one month after he was hired to teach a Common Core law course. The spokesman gave no reason for Bradford's resignation.

Well I suppose the first question should be how did this guy get hired in the first place, obviously there is an issue with the vetting process at West Point.
I mean West Point, or any military academy, should have easy access to service records of anyone who applies for a job and says they served.
While I will grant that there may be a page or parts of pages of a military record that get lost or misplaced, its not the entire record.
Does this smell like someone hiring their buddy for a cushy job?

There's plenty more to the story. His publishing history is considered outrageous by all. One journal had to apologize for one of his papers. Many considered his ideas wacky. He advocated genocide, suspending constitutional rights, and hinted that the military should oust Obama with a coup. There are accusations of stolen valor, too. He was definitely bringing discredit upon his employer, West Point. The bigger question is: "Who hired this guy?" Certainly the USMA needs to learn a lesson in vetting instructors before hiring them.
