US soldier dies after self-immolation

[DecisionFatigue]

I don’t know if there has already been a thread about this but I’ve just seen his last message/video and his cries and I just feel so exasperated that it’s come to this. Sources say he was a very proud airman and noted as being “top of the class” but he could no longer be complicit.

The Burning Monk obviously comes to mind, who changed the course of history forever. I hope this man’s actions and subsequent death won’t be in vain.

RIP Aaron Bushnell

There's also plenty on here who would consider Hamas a great bunch of lads.

The post you’ve commented on - now deleted - was so full of Anti Semitism I’m not surprised it’s been removed. Appalling

No, I said trying to turn him into a hero makes supporters look dangerous.

I agree!

@DecisionFatigue

Sorry, just reading this thread ..... why are a lot of your posts deleted??

What have you been saying?

I think a lot of antisemitic comments.

I'm also curious about this buy doubt that poster will be back somehow.

This was a very mentally ill man who also posted some highly anti-Semitic stuff on X like "Palestine will be free when all the jews are dead", so make of that what you will.

Pure antisemitism; that’s why the posts were deleted. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’d been banned.

This.

The incidence of MH problems amongst US military personnel is frighteningly high.

This appalling act will change nothing for the better re Gaza and will have caused his family unimaginable pain.

How any sane adult can feel admiration for this is baffling, even for Mumsnet this is pretty fucked up.

There's no evidence that he said anything Antisemitic. All of the screenshot have been faked.

The fake screenshot have been deleted now

The one where he said there are no Israeli civilians is real, I've seen it.

Apparently?

Can you supply a source?

Thus in MN, not X

No, people join these services in the hope and belief they will OVERCOME and WIN against evil/oppressors. Not to 'give up their lives' 🙄

You're saying most people think that there are no Israeli civilians and most people can't say the massacre was wrong?

What an idiot

What possible difference has he made . He’s died in unimaginable horror for no reason . I’ll save my empathy for his loved ones , his family and friends .

I cannot fathom having a strength of feeling about anything to do that to yourself . Far better to remain alive and raise awareness .Absolute brainwashed zealot losing all sensible reasoning .

Glad you have nothing to in the wee hours of the morning to resurrect and old thread and post a link to an unhinged anti-semitic conspiracy theory blog. Your life must be going so well.

Interesting website, is it yours?
