Amazing story. Thanks for that. I can’t begin to fathom a US serviceman actively sabotaging parachutes. It is beyond my mental capacity to accept. But it happened. What pure caustic evil. Special place in hell for him. What could possibly motivate such evil?
It's the very same evil that lives in every single one if us:
"There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands; there is no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one. Their throats are open graves; their tongues practice deceit. The poison of vipers is on their lips. Their mouths are full of cursing and bitterness. Their feet are swift to shed blood; ruin and misery mark their ways, and the way of peace they do not know. There is no fear of God before their eyes.
Romans 3:10-18
