this guy was born to Palestinian parents. He was, indeed, radicalized as a child. There is no way he SUDDENLY came to believe all this crazy stuff just in the past few years. It is a lifetime of ideology with him.

He joined the army because it was a taxpayer funded education and an easy job, and I don’t doubt he was proud of it. Sept. 11th changed all that, but it didn’t START his ideological journey.. it only clarified in his own tortured mind who he was and what he believed.
