That makes about as much sense as a football bat.

Mr. Lakanwal had suffered from mental health issues and was disturbed by the casualties his unit had caused

Of course, he had no concern for the thousands and thousands of innocent people who have been killed or maimed by bloodthirsty Muslims in the name of their imaginary deity.

and therefore...

Kill people who are committed to keeping ordinary citizens in America safe from murderous, insane thugs?

Not a coherent thought process but
the NYT would likely be confused about the motive too.

we may never know...

Standard MSM whitewash article. Let’s see

He was a good boy
He loved his momma
He was going to be a famous rapper some day.
America’s “broken” immigration system failed him.
He was supporting his 15 member family back home.
He had a wonderful sense of humor and all his neighbors loved him.

Everybody knows that NY Times articles are written by pink haired, nose ring wearing, former sorority girls. So I don’t understand why we keep on referring to them.

But Elissa Slotkin is cloaked in authority because she formerly worked at the CIA. I don’t understand.

“””A childhood friend, who asked to be identified only as Muhammad because he feared Taliban reprisals, said””””


As Trump would say: “Fake News-—another made up story concocted without any way to prove or disprove”

Three authors, the first tell that what follows is fake journalism to cover up some leftwing political faux pas.

How does a journalist determine who is (and who isn’t) a “childhood friend” of an Afghan terrorist? Ask the Taliban foreign ministry?

Do real CIA operatives talk about their work to chatty people who would even consider talking to journalists?

No. They don’t even talk to their families. Those who talk, don’t know. And those who know, don’t talk.

When NYT publishes fictional stories, it takes a lot of staff to make sure the story does not have any flaws in it.

Actually four authors because I missed a comma.

But your point stands.

No matter how much you should hate the NYT it isn’t enough.
