PHILADELPHIA — Tami Davis Biddle, the former chair of the faculty council at the U.S. Army War College, wrote in a Harrisburg newspaper recently that Doug Mastriano doesn't "deserve our trust or support."
Rick Coplen, another retired professor at the War College in south-central Pennsylvania — where Mastriano studied and taught — says the Republican gubernatorial candidate and his fellow election deniers pose an "existential threat" to American democracy.
"The guy is not fit for office," Coplen said.
James Gregory, a graduate history student at the University of Oklahoma, has been calling attention for nearly two years to what he describes as questionable conclusions and outright "fabrications" in Mastriano's published work on World War I.
"He's literally changing history," Gregory said last week, echoing the concerns of other researchers who have long criticized Mastriano's research on Sgt. Alvin York. Those concerns are now gaining traction.
And Jeffrey Brown, the University of New Brunswick professor who advised Mastriano on his doctoral dissertation before parting ways, warns that the retired Army colonel is a "dangerous" religious zealot with a "post-fact" worldview.
The Canadian university recently announced that, as a result of questions surrounding Mastriano's Ph.D., it is reviewing its internal processes for awarding doctorates.
