Thanks! I re-watched "The First Commandment" 5 times to get a deeper feel for his character, and have concluded that because he's sociopathic and delusional, he distorts other people's motivations to justify his own. When his wild "lunatic fringe" stories of black ops exploits stopped impressing Sam, he resorted to playing on her sympathies by claiming Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome from using "enhanced interrogation techniques" on others.
I agree that he blackmailed an officer or two so that he could get a position at the SCG. I mean, he's just a captain, same as Sam, and *leads* an SG unit? Definitely something suspicious about that assignment.
