There was a bit about him in the WSJ this morning. He is from a small town in the Midwest and was always somewhat of an outsider. His parents are divorced and he lived with his mother. The guy is not “transgendered” - he is, however, very short and small and was apparently very self-conscious about this. He held a few nothing jobs (pizza guy, etc.) and then went into the army. He was in Iraq, during which time he got demoted for some unspecified offense and seems to have a grudge against the Army for this.
