“Delvonte Tisdale was often seen in dress uniform or wearing ROTC sweatshirts. In a paper for a class, he wrote that he wanted to be “a high-ranking Marine officer.’’ The teenager spent up to 12 hours a week taking classes on the history of the Air Force and the science of flight and participating in ROTC activities, such as marching and volunteer work.”

Doesn’t sound like a democrat supporter to me. He was also too young (17) to vote.

science of flight.....

That’s interesting....

May be some strange motivation behind this one like wanting to experience flight from the outside of the plane or something.

He doesn’t sound like a hobo or something, but a decent kid.

gutwrenching story at that link...I guess the only good thing we can see in this story is that he didn’t fall onto someone else...certainly could have been fatal to someone on the ground..

Given his studies of flight science, you’d think he’d know better.
