Good Morning.
You know, I swore I didn't want to write about this today. But two of the headlines from my preferred primary source are screaming at me that the military has an enormous problem.
Texas Mall Shooter Booted from Army After 3 Months, Service SaysJudge Sentences Former Sailor Inspired by Hitler and US Terrorists for Storming the CapitolI don't actually know which one is worse. So I'll start with the obvious; INSPIRED BY HITLER. I read the story, but I won't dignify it any further with a quote - you'll have to go there yourself. An actual domestic terrorist, inspired by the Unabomber, Islamic terrorists, and yes - Hitler, somehow joined the US Military and got security clearance. His lawyers are arguing for leniency in sentencing. Sorry, this fascist needs to be shot.
And the Texas shooter too - I'm seeing additional headlines about that from Dr. Maddow. Apparently he is also a Neo-Nazi, as well as being a failed soldier. The Army is tight-lipped about it, but he never completed basic training and washed out after three months for "designated physical or mental conditions", whatever that means.
But disturbingly - the shooter also embraced white supremacy and culture, despite being Latino himself. More than anything else, that highlights the power that the mind-control machine of the right wing has, that they can even convert what is normally a target of theirs into an ally and a soldier-drone.
America has truly become a debased society. Is it beyond saving? I'm afraid I have to start thinking yes, especially if Hitlerite vermin is now embraced by the military.
