Scott Taylor is also a former private in the Canadian Forces, PPCLI. He has worked as the editor and publisher of Esprit de Corps, since 1988. Taylor has aroused a certain amount of controversy during his career; described as "fiercely opinionated", his articles have attracted criticism for their often strongly polemical slant.

Taylor was dubbed the ?Voice of the Grunts? by the Globe and Mail, a ?Bone in the Brass? Throats? by the Toronto Star, and a ?One Man Army? by the Toronto Sun. Taylor has also won Press TV's ' Unembedded Journalist of the Year' Award for 2008. Taylor is a regular op-ed contributor to the Halifax Herald newspaper, as well as the Embassy Magazine.
