I haven't noticed anything with Garand Thumb, since his videos are almost exclusively about firearms. One was in regard to escape and evasion, on which he passed along elements from his SERE training. In a couple of the others I've watched about other topics, you can tell he's a bit out of his element. It's like he's passing along "things he's heard along the way".
However...
YouTube is indeed chock full of these ex-operator types. I started watching them hoping for some first-hand insight into the underlying political situations. That's how I figured out they were all ex-special forces operators and current psychological operators.
They hook impressionable young men with the bang-bang stuff, then feed them the bullshit politics and history. That's the operation: they come for the black ops and stay for the propaganda.
I came at it from exactly the opposite direction. Their politics and history were so far off that it was not possible that it was a mistake or differing point of view. There's virtually no possibility their audience of wannabes and never wases would be aware of that. It was all so sickening I stopped watching such videos completely.
Not that I've gone out of my way to look up their material, but if someone had an interest in these unconventional warfare types of topics, I'd suggest Craig "Sawman" Sawyer and Eric Prince. That's why one of them is familiar to very few, and the other is known by all as a Horrible Person and (worse) Friend of Donald Trump.
I generally agree. What I see, is that their politics seems to be all 2nd Amendment and they stop at that. Having guns, while great, is actually a step lower on the hierarchy under clean elections and kicking out migrants and such things, but that's just me.
As for Grand Thumb, I think he's found Jesus lately, and he's telling people to read the Bible at the end the video I linked too here.
Checking out the comments I don't see much to indicate this (like someone saying "but what about X"), but YouTube allows you to delete comments though.

G Thumb is legit. He is in the Military still I believe. Others are clearly alphabets, like Shawn Ryan, Goggins.
There’s a quote by an old CIA director that was something like “we own 90% of the talking heads on TV”.
I wouldn't be surprised if key information is omitted or even bad information inserted

The having the kikes and Ukrainians really turned me off to him too.
