Looks more like he would have belonged to ISIS.

I was in Harvey and Terrytown just a couple days ago and was shocked to find that everyone has not been shot dead.

“Rapper” has got to be the most dangerous profession there is.

My defense would have been, “The deceased was a rapper.”

“Here’s your medal, sir.”

Hmm... Going off of a couple different articles from nola:

Craft [his attorney] said Bonilla's job in the National Guard was in the quartermaster field, which generally involves a soldier who distributes supplies. Although that's not a combatant job, Bonilla drove a Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle that struck a roadside bomb, Craft said.

The National Guard also confirmed he was in A Battery, 1st Battalion, 141st Field Artillery Regiment, a unit at Jackson Barracks historically known as the Washington Artillery. His military job was a cannon crewman.....The National Guard also did not disclose whether Bonilla was injured in Iraq. His awards and decorations include a Combat Action Badge. But a Purple Heart, given to troops wounded in battle, is not on that list of awards and decorations.

So they may be missing a bunch of details, but it sounds like he's just trying to use PTSD as an excuse to get out of a murder charge. There were several units overseas that just handed out CABs if they thought they saw a bad guy on the mountainside. Not having a Purple Heart tells me he likely didn't get hit or anything. And, as one article mentioned, his hair is pretty long to have been in the Guard attending monthly drills. Think they said he was AWOL for a while.
