Why veterans are perfect recruits for domestic terrorism in the USA

NATIONAL INSECURITY

Mental Health has become a target among veterans. How do I know? It has been weaponized against me in a domestic court of law. After peeling back the media's onion in the first 2 weeks of the new year, I don't like the smell of it. My eyes are burning. Veterans are now perfect targets for domestic terrorism. Here's why.

This past weekend, I was in Las Vegas near Trump's establishment. On January 1, an E-8 Army Green Beret Master Seargent was home on leave in Colorado from Germany. He rented a Tesla Cybertruck and drove it to Nevada. He shot himself in the head before the cyber truck went into a blaze. Why?

Just the day before, another Army Veteran drove his truck into a crowd of people in New Orleans, killing 14 people. Media experts say ISIS influenced him according to his social media. Go figure. What do both of these men have in common? Service to country.

Right now, some veterans and other Lone Wolves are watching these events happen. They're becoming influenced to carry out their thoughts of domestic terrorism now as a result. Did we ever get closure from the murder attempt on Donald Trump's life in Philadelphia last July? Here's what NBC reported. The Lone Wolves in the country are watching. It's a copycat league, after all. Look what Columbine has done for the youth since 1999.

“The Task Force found that the tragic and shocking events in Butler, Pennsylvania were preventable and should not have happened. There was not, however, a singular moment or decision that allowed Thomas Matthew Crooks to nearly assassinate the former President."

LONE WOLF MENTALITY

Patrick Wood Crusius drove from Dallas to El Paso to murder 23 people in Walmart back in 2019. According to my research, he was not a veteran but acted as a Lone Wolf. Deep inside every veteran's soul lies a Lone Wolf like Patrick. I know, personally.

It was always hard for me to stomach why my country goes to war when the most important war now is right on American soil. Thou shall not kill, according to the Bible. Right? Then I had a MUSTANG in the Navy explain that war is a business to me. Without the bad guy, we have no purpose.

I have been admitted into two psychiatric wards in the last 4 years. I had difficulty adjusting to society after retiring from the Navy in 2016. I became suicidal with a plan. The biggest battle I had to win first was between my ears. For many veterans, it's not easy. It wasn't for me either.

In addition, during those 4 years, I found myself in Pierce County Jail for domestic violence. I was homeless for almost 9 months. The cold part about it is that my ex-wife worked in a mental health facility as the Chief Nurse.

I had every reason to go rogue and make people feel my hurt and pain. The VA helped me get that LONE WOLF under control. I could've been another statistic. I had to ask for help first.

POLITICS AS USUAL

I didn't vote in the last election. It's more rigged than the NFL right now. Two wings, same bird. Pick your poison. One group is happy, and another is unhappy every 4 years. The cycle. Divide and conquer, right? This article is not about one political side or the other. It's about the human capital side.

This month, we will swear in our 45th President. I wonder what will happen next among the veteran community who suffer from mental health. More attacks, another shot at TRUMP? We have become targets that can be recruited if the price is right. Get your popcorn ready, Americans.

For the record, I choose to walk a different path as a LONE WOLF. Veterans are worth more alive than dead. I shared my battle with mental health in 2020 inside "Bullet Proof" on Amazon. Music to drive by. Eighteen veterans are committing suicide a day. Just like Matthew Livelsberger, a 37-year-old Green Beret, did in front of Trump's Las Vegas establishment, per PBS.

A highly decorated Army soldier who died in an explosion of a Tesla Cybertruck at the Trump hotel in Las Vegas left a note saying it was a stunt to serve as a “wakeup call” for the country’s ills, investigators said Friday.

Eighteen A Day

According to the VA, currently, approximately 8,030 veterans kill themselves every year, more than 5,540 of whom are 50 or older. I'm currently 50. Why are we concerned with WAR in another country when the real battle is right here on American soil? One a day is too many.

When veterans become isolated, two things generally happen: We get lost chasing a rabbit down a hole, or we learn how to develop coping mechanisms to keep our LONE WOLF mentality at bay. I'm living proof of the latter. Could this be the "wake-up call" Mathew refers to, the "Country's IIlls?"

One thing is for sure: it's a copycat league. Since the deadly Columbine shooting in 1999, There have been 390 separate shootings. Think about that. We are fooling ourselves if we think veterans aren't perfect recruits for domestic terrorism in 2025.

I refuse to become a suicidal statistic. If you're a veteran reading this today, ASK FOR HELP. It's okay; it's a sign of strength. Despite what the leadership in the ranks of our military may tell you. Don't become another statistic (18 A Day) or a crash dummy for domestic terrorism, even when our country's games are rigged. Let that Lone Wolf mentality hunt for good.
