He was a college student studying information systems who volunteered in the reserve. He probably had a bright future. He likely believed the pervasive lies Americans are fed from birth that joining the US military means "serving your country" and "defending freedom." What it really means is fighting barbaric imperialist wars and taking away life and freedom from others. The bitter truth that those who loved him won't have an easy time facing is that no ordinary American will be freer or safer for his loss. He died for "Israel" and for the Epstein vampire class — none of whose children have rushed to volunteer in Trump's war of murder and aggression.
