Matthew Livelsberger, a 37-year-old Green Beret from Colorado Springs, Colorado, also wrote in notes he left on his cellphone that he needed to “cleanse” his mind “of the brothers I’ve lost and relieve myself of the burden of the lives I took.” Livelsberger served in the Army since 2006 and deployed twice to Afghanistan.
“This was not a terrorist attack, it was a wake up call. Americans only pay attention to spectacles and violence. What better way to get my point across than a stunt with fireworks and explosives,” Livelsberger wrote in one letter found by authorities and released Friday.
Nah, he was just a fucking idiot and it’s a good day when any American thug like him wastes away.
Fuck veterans
‘Fuck veterans’ is a little harsh. Some enlist because they have no other prospects or can’t afford better education to land a job. Or they’ve been indoctrinated to think it’s ‘a mans duty to their country’. I’ve known plenty of veterans that despise the military afterward, despise current gov, and despise Trump.
As much as it sucks, enlisting is one of the few paths out of poverty in the U.S.
That is a very narrow view in how the military works. People like to pretend it’s voluntary. But if you are poor and you want to improve your life and perhaps go to college, it isn’t. Plus, unless you are American you can’t realize how hard the indoctrinate children into joining. All high schools have a recruiter there at all hours grooming kids into joining
