Good summary, but the photo shows Buck Sergeant, not A1C. Three stripes and a highlighted star.

Colonel, USAF JAGC (Ret)

He’s from Carlsbad, NM. Near me. Very rough place and people.

Never met anyone from Carlsbad who was fully sane.

I find it odd that the Wiki article doesn’t mention that at the time of the shooting, Sadler was working in Guatemala training anti-communist contra fighters and had received death threats.
