MUCH longer than that. Trust me.

Hopefully, his GoFundMe acct is collecting bookoodles of money. /s
Part of the Left’s Woke Military ?
Cut off his government benefits for the crimes against the environment. Think of the carbon burden he placed on the planet.
Clearly a flamer.
I was an Area Defense Counsel and then a Circuit Defense Counsel as an Air Force JAG from 1987 through 1990. I am here to tell you there were some crazies… Although most of the ones I interacted with were just punks or narcissists.

“Sorry, I’m brutal, but I think if he wanted to burn himself up, we have no right to stop him.”
Agreed
Maximum Liberty - Wanna off yourself? Go ahead. Just don’t block traffic or cause property damage for other people.
The planet cleansing itself.
“It will cost millions of dollars to treat and care for this imbecile for decades into the future.”
Might as well throw in a free sex change operation and a book deal.
“Hey buddy, you got a light?” —Richard Pryor joke.
The photos of Buddhist monks burning themselves back in 1963 is far worse.

I remember those monks. I really don’t think they accomplished anything.
They did manage to make it onto the cover of a Rage Against The Machine album.
I didn’t know any in the 70s either, but I knew some in the 60s, who did. Three guys in my squadron alone, practically worshipped Ho Chi Minh. They had this little jingle, that said, Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh, the NLF is gonna win. They were the only ones I knew about. There were probably others as well.
2009 was when the crazies were handed the reigns of control. That’s my point.
I was drafted in '59 and once they took me, I know the Army had at least one crazy. I was from WPa and got sent to FT.Jackson in SC on a train from Chicago through Pittsburgh.
On the train I sat with a black kid from Chicago and we were sent to the same barracks.
The first time we had a weekend off we went in to Columbia together and got arrested by MPs for traveling together.
Crazy me, I didn't know that two soldiers that slept side by side, were in basic training together were going to get sent to a foreign country together...were not allowed to take a bus and then walk the streets together in America.
My first exposure to real racism and segregation, and it was ugly.
In W PA we went to school with black kids, played little league baseball and football together and my parents never used any derogatory language regarding blacks { I did, but I never considered it to be any different than, dago, hunky or spic {of which I was a combined mixture}.
We were crazy, but not the same kind of crazy as a guy lighting himself on fire, I'll pass.
How about the cover of the Rolling Stone? 😆
Thanks for clarifying that. I had already been retired for 21 years.
