I don't know how much you know about him...but a couple of things that I found that was interesting to me...is the fact that he was a serious and outstanding soldier. He became somewhat bitter when he had prepped himself mentally and physically to apply for the Green Berets and was accepted but was diverted to Saudi for Operation Desert Shield and then he fought during Operation Desert Storm. After Desert Storm was over he was sent to Green Beret training but quit after just a few days as he no longer was physically prepared. During the months of Desert Shield one spent a lot of time basically sitting on ones ass and Green Berets have a gruelling physical training requirement and one must prep themselves before entering. He was disappointed in the military for not allowing his entrance when he was prepped...by diverting him to Operation Desert Shield and disappointed in himself for not being able to meet the physical requirements. Thus he left the military in an embittered state of mind.
Then being a witness to Waco and Ruby Ridge pissed him off. Actually both incidents pissed me off also...particularly Ruby Ridge.
