A member of the US Air Force was in critical condition after reportedly setting himself on fire outside the Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC, Sunday afternoon.
A video live streamed on Twitch appeared to show the Air Force member in uniform standing in front of the embassy gate and identifying himself as a member of the US Air Force, the New York Times and Washington Post said, citing officials who confirmed the footage matched the man in question. “I will no longer be complicit in genocide [in Gaza]. I am about to engage in an extreme act of protest,” the man apparently said before setting himself alight and repeatedly shouting “Free Palestine!”
The name the man used in the video – which has not been shared publicly – matches a LinkedIn account for an active-duty Air Force officer from Texas, the Times reported. A spokesperson for the Air Force told Task & Purpose that the man is an active-duty airman. His identity has not been confirmed.

This on the media and the left for promoting a sick mythology.

But, if true, better he torched himself than betraying our nation. And Israel.

recruiters told me during the 0bama years how they were directed to recruit only certain people... people that were generally left leaning.

Another mentally ill freak in our armed forces. The military used to have a system in place that was pretty good at weeding out the bizarre.

Great strategy. Maybe other loons will join instead of blocking traffic.

I’m guessing a lot more non-left leaning people want to join, than let leaning. That includes people not interested or ignorant of politics.
To: All
This says more about the (lack of) ‘quality’ of the people they let into the Air Force these days than it does about anything else.
To: kiryandil
I was thinking the exact same phrase.

This was in the United States. My brother was in the Air Force.
He would say exactly the same thing as I did.
