If memory serves me correctly, that sniper guy served in the Gulf War and also tried crap when he was over there.

You are correct:

John Allen Muhammad, one of the two suspects in the Washington, D.C.-area sniper attacks, is a twice-divorced, 41-year-old Gulf War veteran who converted to Islam 17 years ago and earned an expert marksmanship badge in the U.S. Army.
