Grooming a plant with four years of medical school and a residency is a weird and costly way to plant someone who in the end did something any six-week enlistee could have done equally well.
If this Tampa intelligence office can't figure this out, I wonder about the rest of what he is speculating.
On another thread someone calculated that there is a 7-year gap in the Major’s adult life.
Where was he and what was he doing?
Remember, people do things then change their minds, than change their minds again.
Remember who drove the car bomb into the UK airport: doctors.
Grooming someone that long... Remember you don’t look
at Majors, you look through them.
An EM is under the scrutiny of senior EMs and Officers
and is watched by one or the other most of the time.
Certainly it would be an advantage to have someone higher
in the chain of command, for several reasons.
Yeah. But perhaps they were hoping for more out of him, and he had premature jihadulation.
A sufficiently determined and oil riches funded enemy could groom, what? hundreds? thousands, tens of thousands? of plants for places of great and petty power.
Heck, they might even get lucky and have one elected to CIC.
THEORETICALLY it could happen...
