A U.S. Air Force veteran has been charged with trying to join ISIS after watching their online propaganda videos, the Department of Justice announced today. Tairod Nathan Webster Pugh, 47, was indicted by a grand jury in Brooklyn on Monday for allegedly attempting to provide material support to the group and attempting to obstruct justice.

Not possible to have done all of those things in a 4 year period during that timeframe...

This is claimed to have been done prior to Rivet Workforce (Hyd-Engines-APG combined into one career field).

I suspect he’s inflating his resume...

As a prior jet mech, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. ;^)
