Someone off camera could be heard asking, “do you need any help?” Good to know we still have good SamaritansYeah but he meant, "Do you need help lighting yourself on fire?"

“Bushnell started his career at the United States Air Force (USAF) in May 2020, having done Basic & Technical Training. He was trained as a Client Systems Technician having been educated in cybersecurity. He later worked as a DevOps engineer for the USAF while being based in San Antonio, Texas”
An IT geek. In our digital world the military can’t get enough of ‘em....many I was around in the DoD were often introverted and seem a little odd......never seen one set themselves on fire though.

His recruiter will probably get a bonus at a WH ceremony.
Lol.

I think this incident should settle any doubts if our own armed forces are capable of turning on us.

All part of the plan. Damage the image of the military so enlistments drop. Drive out the good people and lower the standards allowing the wrong people to get in. Rinse and repeat until the military has a large enough nut jobs in positions of leadership roles. Let the rot continue.

This maniac had access to military secrets.
Just think about that.

I guess if he makes it through, which I guess he won’t, he could have been eligible for a Harvard Davy Hogg Scholarship.

How the hell are people like this getting into our armed forces???!?
Exactly. Apparently we are already encouraging mentally ill people in the form of transgenders to enlist, and now it appears that mental illness is a wider problem in the US military.

How the hell are people like this getting into our armed forces???!?Recruiting goals are more important than the quality of the recruit. Part of that fundamentally changing America thingy.
If they identified him as "an active duty USAF member", why don't they include his rank? Strange that isn't brought up.

Mental illness is a terrible affliction.
To: Red Badger
Yes, me too. But I never knew any that set themselves on fire and wasn’t drunk or stoned. Total dumb@$$ery.

The military has tormented souls in the ranks as does the general population. This man was in such a dark place that he tied to project his demons on a warped political narrative and ultimately commited suicide. Pity him and his family.
To: outinyellowdogcountry
I thought the military screens for mental illness. Nowadays it's a recruitment quota.
