We do a great disservice to servicemen. I have a friend in the army who informed me before he had any symptoms he was pushed to take antidepressants and now he is dependent on them. When he doesn’t take them, it is obvious. Then there’s the reverse, like this guy, who was ignored and this happens.

Why did he travel from Washington state, where ICE was (probably) kidnapping people and acting like a fascist secret police, and go to DC to kill National Guard troops who were just patrolling or gardening???

Reports say he started working for the CIA in 2011. He is 29 yrs old. He would have been born in 1996. Someone born in 1996 would have been 15 yrs old in 2011. Are these reports true. If so, I believe the US would bear a lot of responsibility for working with someone that age.

Another Trump travesty--deny support to one of our allies and blame Biden when the time bomb goes off After this story gets out, who will work with our troops when they will be discarded like a used condom once they aren't needed anyymore

Of course, “veteran services continue to fail and abandon their charges” doesn’t generate right wing outrage like “foreign man foreignly commits foreign-type crime against brave honorable defenders of freedom” but for what it’s worth I’m glad some journalists are still trying 🩵
