I believe it's in military logistics, specifically in the non-tracked land vehicle (trucks) department for the US Army in the 1990's and 2000's. At least that's based on what I've read of him and his personal history that he has talked about online. I'm not sure about his specific unit though as I don't have his resume.
His thread on Russian tire maintenance took off like wildfire, and his Twitter fame got a little into his head. He suffers from the very known effect of narrow experts "expanding" their opinions to fields they have no business in. Just look at Elon Musk.
That said - Telenko's logistics and transport takes are valid - anything else, just know where that's coming from.

Trent Telenko also has some fairly unconventional opinions about electoral fraud in the US which, for me, cast his opinions in a different light.
He's entertaining but it's always a bit unclear what his specific expertise is.

This is a fair appraisal and I don't think you should have been downvoted.
When you bring up Elon Musk in a negative context, you walk right into it. HackerNews is a special place :)
