“He had been trying to leave the military for years we are told but had to stay. Why could he not leave?”
That’s what I’d like to know. For diversity reasons? He was obviously unfit for duty.
Certainly the US military would not refuse to let someone go because they wanted “diversity”.
Do you know what the requirements are for someone who hid higher education, got a masters, became an MD, become a resident a Walter Reid?
If we do not know the answer to this it is a big gap. The US military refused to let him go ... and I will not accept a “diversity” excuse.
