Like you, I wondered the same thing, what is his motivation? It was explained to me that Franklin requested a discount for Vets/service persons re AMA membership plus funding for a private base club. The AMA agreed to the AMA discount but wanted credit as a supporter which was refused, so they did not follow through with it. They also turned down funding a private base site. From that point on Franklin has had a burr in his shorts and has made it his personal vendetta against anything AMA.
His motivation is credibility. Either a claim is credible or it isn't. If it isn't, then the one making the claim can't be trusted.
