US Air Force member Aaron Bushnell has died from his injuries after setting himself on fire outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC, an official confirmed on Monday.
A US Air Force spokesperson confirmed to The Post that 25-year-old Bushnell died overnight to The Post, though she did not officially name him citing the ongoing notification of next of kin.
Officials were still contacting family members Monday and will not officially announce his death until 24 hours after that is complete, the Air Force representative said.

There was no immediate word on Bushnell’s cause of death.
A harrowing video livestreamed on Twitch on Sunday afternoon appeared to show the serviceman dressed in uniform standing in front of the embassy and identifying himself as a member of the US Air Force.
“I will no longer be complicit in genocide [in Gaza]. I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest,” Bushnell reportedly said, before setting himself ablaze and repeatedly crying out “Free Palestine.”
Just hours before his deadly act of self-immolation, Bushnell posted a final message on Facebook.

Too bad that the U.S. government of both administrations has fro decades perpetuated myths and lies about the history of Israel. Just a few: that the Jews never disappeared completely from Israel, that Jerusalem has had a majority Jewish population since 1800, that Zionists in the late 19th and early 20th centuries bough their land from willing seller, the Palestinian involvement with the nazis, that Jordan was supposed to be the Palestinian state, the expulsion of $400k Jews from the Arab countries, and I could go on for two pages.
This poor stupid bastard, like millions of Americans, had no idea that there are most emphatically two sides to this story
But, oh well, too late now and I’m glad he and his diseased
Mind are dead
When I retired in 1999...they were just starting to get H/S graduates who were on anxiety medication, and maybe 2-percent were prone to panic issues (couldn’t handle relationships or multi-task projects).
I would guess today that 10-percent fall into this category. You’d have to coach them through the work-day.
Hard to beleive that the military would even accept anxiety patients into such a high stress occupation. But they do. Common sense jusy isn’t very common anymore in our woke society
My bet is he was a victim of Global Warming
That’s a shame. Hey! Look! Squirrel!
Is it bad manners, to light your cigar off his burning remains?
Just making sure this wasnt catching on. Two or three every century is about the norm isnt it?
Is it cold there? Why the woodland camo field jacket, is that standard Air Force uniform? The Army gave that up decades ago. Not much fire protection, just more fuel.
Its very fanatical to set yourself on fire. Either for a Shaolin monk or a lunatic underling in the Air Force. I dont think that either one knew quite as much as they thought they knew right before the realization that, “Oh sh!t! This hurts way more than I every imagined and I doubt anyone in future generations will even be impacted by me doing this incredibly stupid thing.”
BTTT
That must be the “before” picture.
....and you said nothing about my pun.😥
God rest his soul.
Why the woodland camo field jacket, is that standard Air Force uniform? The Army gave that up decades ago.
USAF and Urmy both wear the same OCP camo pattern now.
Thank god he killed himself hopefully before damaging military equipment used by good men.
Hopefully 60 million more leftists will follow his lead.
So.
His right.
🤗 That GLOBAL WARMING, seems to have been concentrated in one small area. 😆😝😀
I pray daily that God would restore the US military to a powerful force for good.
Clearly mentally ill. The ironic part is our military is not even involved, and if they were, Aaron Bushnell would 99% not be involved unless he was in aircraft maintenace or logistics. But since he was in the D.C. area, that was a remote possibility.
Probably a cover up for a vaccine related death.
