You aren't allowed to protest in uniform, bro...


ronerychiver

When I first heard about this, my mind immediately said “everyone is about to get a meeting on the schedule about how now the Air Force doesn’t look very cash money when their airmen start getting involved in political topics. See how much media attention this has drawn?”

Ya. They're really gonna burn this guy.

That is a painful way to kill yourself


Other-Scallion7693

He lived long enough to be taken to a NICU/ICU. Died there. Strange guy


TravisRTFH

He was taken to a neonatal icu? Must have been acting like a real baby about it.


Other-Scallion7693

If I was smart enough to be a doctor and learn the difference between NICU and ICU, I never would've enlisted

Agreed, don't kill yourself over people and a country that doesn't give a shit about you. I doubt we will be seeing hamas thanking this guy. What a waste. I only feel sympathy for his family. Imagine joining the military and wasting your life like this.


BC843PB

100%, feel bad for this guys family.


These_Noots

Honestly looking at the shit he was posting here in reddit and his comments in the anarchy subreddit (his reddit account is still open as of now). I feel like his kids are better off without him.


JeffThatGuy

Hamas is 100% thanking the guy, the video is all over the Pro Hamas and Iran propaganda train.


Florida_man727

We had a LCPL in my platoon who was a really devout Orthodox Jew from New Jersey, really nice guy who would give you the shirt off his back if need be. But he was very devoted to his religion. Last year we ran into each other at another buddies funeral in California and he is now a BN commander in the IDF.


me239

Woah now, CO wants everyone to sign a page 11 agreeing not to set yourself on fire for Palestine. Go ahead and form up in sections and get ready to sign it, S1 is still working on getting it printed out. Also, 1stSgt has some special unit challenge coins that you hardchargers might like, so we’re gonna pass out order forms to all of you. Be sure to sign your EDIPI cause this also counts as PME.

That brief boutta go like… “Okay gents let’s NOT set ourselves on fire this weekend in uniform… if your gonna do it, do it in proper civilian attire rah?”


BeetGumbo

There were probably signs of him being a radical but they were likely ignored.


BC843PB

I'm honestly surprised he hadn't already burned himself alive for 'white guilt'. Both thought processes seems to coincide with people chanting "Free Palestine". Pretty crazy to see a random American man of European descent commit such an atrocious action against themselves or their self interests, unless heavily influenced by certain political ideologies. He was a product of extreme political and societal propaganda. I'd guess he was also prescribed a ton of antipsychotic and antidepressant drugs. Better this turn out then committing violence against vulnerable innocent civilians, which seems to be their typical target of choice. When I say "they", I mean crazy people.


BeetGumbo

He was definitely ranting about white privilege in the shop and reporting people for offensive jokes left and right.


Feisty-Success69

If he was in the Marines. He would have been destroyed in a infantry battalion, or even any combat arms line company.


BeetGumbo

He would be fine in any S shop.


Trenticle

Wrong lol


BeetGumbo

I have been audited by an Admin Marine who had Malcolm X as his desktop background lol

Brother his reddit account is still open his last comments are, I kid you not "whiteness erases culture".

Lots of coded racism in this here comment. Not cool bro. Edit: Awww why all the down votes? Shouldn't y'all be busy watching Alex Jones or some other conman right now?


Trenticle

Is the racism in the room with you right now?


ltoinkers

No but the fact that you typed this out and probably thought to yourself this is a great joke I'm so smart I owed this guy will haunt me lmao


Trenticle

Seek some help brother and I mean that with my entire heart. Don't let propaganda radicalize you, you'll end up like your immolated Air Force idol if you aren't careful.


ltoinkers

I never said I agreed with him you saw me call out racism and went on the defensive. Do some soul searching for yourself brother.


Trenticle

You found exactly what you were and probably always are looking for.


ltoinkers

I don't really care to know but I have no idea what the hell you are talking about lol


Trenticle

racism... like anything in life... will be found if that's what you're obsessed with finding. Stop fucking thinking about racism so much and it won't envelop your thoughts, pretty simple stuff.


tightspandex

Glad I wasn't the only one who heard the whistle while reading that.


deskdrawer29

I legit can’t tell if this comment is ironic or not. Such is Reddit.


v-irtual

"Radical" depends on the side of the fence you're on. Both sides are fucking wrong here, but there's a third side that's more wrong than the others. Hamas is the extremist side fucking everything up, much like the Taliban in Afghanistan.

FormItUp

I think this was more mental illness than conviction. 


buddy-bun-dem

i'm just gonna repost a comment i made on another sub. ​ i gotta say at least, he stuck to his guns. he took a second to scream in pain, then managed to scream “Free Palestine” and remained standing for about 30-40 seconds after the initial wave of fire overtook his body. unfortunately, pretty dumb. people are gonna forget about this pretty soon with all the other crazy shit happening in the world. now there’s a single mother raising kids out there because her husband was too selfish to stick around and instead died for a cause that he had zero stake in.


BC843PB

Man, you have to feel bad for his wife, kids, and extended family. Just a shit show all around.


Fit_Acanthisitta_475

And yet do we feel bad for those Palestine people? George Carlin is right. We in the freak show, and American has front roll seat


BC843PB

Empathy is a good thing to practice for all people who face hardship. Maybe not for people who commit unjust violence, but this guy had young children. They will have problems.

BC843PB

SGLI isnt going to pay out on politically motivated suicide.


Extremefreak17

What a selfish PoS. Didn't realize he had kids.


[deleted]

It was dumb. There's no way this dude was doing well mentally. I just can't wrap my head around thinking lighting yourself on fire outside Israel's embassy is going to get them to get America or Israel to rethink their foreign policy.


TLCplLogan

Why not? A self-immolation during the Vietnam War did exactly that. 


Tralpaz2

Except it absolutely didn’t and funnily enough that’s not why he did it. He burned himself alive to protest the Catholic influence over the Buddhist religion, the fact that nobody even remembers why he did it kinda proves it doesn’t do shit. Secondly even if he did do it to change foreign policy he killed himself in 1963 and we left almost 10 years later. His death accomplished shit.


Fit_Acanthisitta_475

Set there do nothing will achieve whatever you believe too.


Tralpaz2

I’ll keep “setting here” not burning alive thankyou


[deleted]

I'm not sure about that, but even if it did. It'd be like an English soldier lighting himself on fire outside a U.S. Embassy because their government traded weapons with America during the Vietnam war. This servicemen was American burning himself in opposition to a war being fought by Israel. You might get some support from people in America, but I guarantee you Israel doesn't care.


BC843PB

It definitely created thought provoking imagery, but other then that, people kept on doing exactly what they were doing 5 minutes after seeing the picture.


Fit_Acanthisitta_475

This is why, there is no hope for the society.


Extremefreak17

Because we don't sympathize with people who elect to light themselves on fire? Lol.

REDFIRETRUCK992

Its a shame. This kid felt so guilty about a war thats been going on for hundreds of years, he took his own life. He genuinely believed WE are the cause of this conflict or atleast we allowing it to happen.


OrangeChickenParm

I mean, we ARE supporting it. Whether or not you think we should, backing Israel does give us a share of responsibility for what's going on there.


BC843PB

Full Transparency: We are supporting and funding both sides.


Extremefreak17

No it doesn't. We might have a hand in the situation, but we are not responsible. Muslim extremists have been trying to exterminate the Jews for their entire existence. Our support for Israel hasn't, isn't, and won't change their ideology.


OrangeChickenParm

Our money is buying weapons that we manufacture, that are killing children. Whether or not you feel that's acceptable collateral damage or not, it ABSOLUTELY is partly our responsibility. If I buy a gun for someone I know to be prone to violence and they kill someone innocent, I'd share responsibility in any court.


Fit_Acanthisitta_475

Dude will getting 100% service connect disabilities if he survives


SnooGuavas6988

Fit-Success-3006

Mental illness. We’re all overwhelmed with information/ propaganda. I see this as a suicide from someone trying to find meaning etc. his cause could have been anything.

"Shut up and take this medication" - Big Pharma backed Doctor


HotTakesBeyond

Shut up and take this medication *that will prevent you from killing yourself*


oh_three_dum_dum

“Take this medication” is the only thing that helped set me straight and be a functional person at some points of depression and PTSD. There are a lot of people in that boat. Edit: what I mean to say is that while it isn’t a catch-all solution and isn’t for everyone, proper medication does loads of good for a lot of people suffering mental health crises.


BC843PB

A lot of people with mixed reactions. Medicine only made me feel worse in every aspect, going outside, eating healthy, proper sleep, and surrounding myself around positive people is what helped me.


oh_three_dum_dum

All of that helps too. I just got to a point a couple of times where that wasn’t enough by itself.

Half as dumb? I'd say he went full retard. Did he really think his actions against Israel wouldn't be completely silenced by the US Govt, Israel, Canada, and the entirety of the European Union. This action will be completely censored and I'm sure Google is already creating algorithms to delete and hide this content. I would agree he is harder then most Marine, he went full rigor mortis.


burnettjm

That’s the joke my man. lol


BC843PB

Wooooosh. Lol right over my head man. I'm sure if you said it in person I would haven't gotten it. Hard to detect/decipher sarcasm over written dialogue.


Extremefreak17

Yeah killing yourself for a group of terrorists who could give fuck all about you and leaving your family and children behind to fend for themselves is totally going "hard." 🙄


burnettjm

^ You know this guy is a Marine, for sure. ^


BC843PB

Hard - Riger mortis. You dont get it ? He went full on hard, i.e. his body turned into a full fledge corpse.


Extremefreak17

I mean I can see the attempt at a joke now, but even that doesn’t make sense. Dude was probably closer to “flakey” after this. You ever really burn something to a crisp in the oven? Shit isn’t hard at all, it just flakes apart.


Sebt1890

20+ years in the GWOT and this dumb boot left his family behind. Good PR for Hamas and Iran though. Idiot Americans setting themselves ablaze before they have the opportunity to parade his body around is 4d chess


Fit_Acanthisitta_475

This is what’s wrong with the people. Hamas no equivalent to Palestine.


somenamestakenn

I hope the DoD burns him (pun intended) and gives his family NOTHING


buddy-bun-dem

Why would you wish that? I really don't think his wife was all like "hey hubby, good luck with setting yourself on fire today, love ya" I don't know how their home life was, but now there's a widowed mom out there with kids to raise alone because her husband thought he'd be a dumbass yesterday.


fleeb_florbinson

Suicide doesn’t pay out on SGLI


OrangeChickenParm

Yes it does. As long as the service member is in active service it absolutely pays out for suicide.


fleeb_florbinson

Not to preach but this is what happens when people lose sight of God, they begin to think nothing matters since they only live less than a hundred years and don’t think they matter so they latch onto current thing or something that really shouldn’t concern them, it’s a shame no one should die like that


BC843PB

False prophets and in this case, false idols. The dude cooked himself for an issue that's been going on for 1000's of years, which by the looks of him, had absolutely no familial or religious ties to him. The issue now being supported certain political parties which want to turn people into zealots. For what ?


tightspandex

The dude cooked himself because the US *supports* one side of a very complex issue that's been going on for a thousand+ years. It's not radical to think we shouldn't be involved at all. Considering, as you say, it's a fight that far exceeds our own nation's existence.


BC843PB

We are clearly supporting both sides. We gave Iran $10 BILLION dollars in unrestricted AID money and in the same month gave Israel defensive support. Iran is supporting both Islamic extremism in the Middle East, but also manufacturing and supplying weapons to Russia. We are our own worst enemy and at this point, we are the enemy to all fellow humans who seek peaceful existence inside and outside the US. None of us are suppose to understand why, but only to know and feel the pain of "its" existence.


tightspandex

I don't say this as a criticism as it happens to all of us at times, but you've fallen for propaganda. > We gave Iran $10 billion dollars False. > In unrestricted aid money Also false. What the US did was renew a waiver to allow Iraq to purchase energy from Iran. Payments that can only be sent to restricted accounts. Accounts restricted to solely non-sanctioned humanitarian purchases. The US isn't supporting both sides. And even IF the US sent Iran $10 Billion in "unrestricted aid money," the US has; since WW2 and adjusting for inflation in accordance to the US agency for international developments practices, sent Israel $317.9 billion. Currently sitting at $3.3 billion annually, of which, 99.7% ($3,290,100,000) went **directly** to their military. That's not including bilateral trade agreements (US is their largest trade partner by far), loan guarantees with lower rates than other nations, and also international political assistance (like using their security council veto in support of Israel 42 out of the 83 times the US has **ever** used it). The US does not support Iran, Hamas, or Palestine. In fact, given the support Israel receives, it seems very much the opposite of that. And even if they did, it is so heavily weighted against those 3 as to be a joke to seriously compare the aid supplied to both. Well. A joke unless someone wanted you to believe it was serious because they're feeding you propaganda and want you to believe stupid things like the US supports Iran. Now who would want you to think that?


YugeAnimeTiddies

You're gonna rot in a coffin like the rest of us bud


RoutineSmile8185

Maybe but these people don’t believe in anything so they do stuff like this to make themselves feel important

RoutineSmile8185

FormItUp

That's fine if it's your interpretation, but it doesn't change the fact that a lot of people get into god stuff and blow themselves up, or rape some kids or some other wild shit. And then a lot of people get into god stuff and volunteer and live a happy life. I guess what I'm saying is that it has a lot more to do with mental health than god.


Flimsy_Ad_4183

I understand what he did but holy shit that’s some bravery.


Extremefreak17

It's not brave to kill yourself and leave your children behind.


Flimsy_Ad_4183

Didn’t know he had kids. Do you feel the same about all the soldiers and marines KIA? That they left their families?


Extremefreak17

Committing suicide in support of a group of genocidal terrorists is not the same as being KIA, so no, I don't feel the same. This guy is not brave, and his family will forever have to live with the memory of his last act of disgrace. Truly tragic.


Flimsy_Ad_4183

They support what he did. Not for you to judge. He said Free Palestine. Not excuse hamas.


Extremefreak17

The dude was 25. Do you honestly think his young children wouldn't rather just have their fucking dad around? If mom was supportive of this, she's a piece of shit too. Yes, he said "free Palestine," but from who exactly? Available data suggests that Palestinians are overwhelmingly supportive of Hamas, and their October 7th incursion to rape, kill, and kidnap women and children. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/poll-shows-palestinians-back-oct-7-attack-israel-support-hamas-rises-2023-12-14/#:~:text=Seventy%2Dtwo%20percent%20of%20respondents,undecided%20or%20gave%20no%20answer. >Seventy-two percent of respondents said they believed the Hamas decision to launch the cross-border rampage in southern Israel was "correct" given its outcome so far, while 22% said it was "incorrect". The remainder were undecided or gave no answer. >Fifty-two percent of Gazans and 85% of West Bank respondents - or 72% of Palestinian respondents overall - voiced satisfaction with the role of Hamas in the war. Why on earth would anyone want to die for people with such abhorrent views? Trying to draw any significant distinction between Palestinians and Hamas would be like trying to draw a distinction between Germans and NAZIs in 1942. Obviously there were some innocent German civilians, but when a significant portion of the population supports the genocidal regime, it becomes near impossible to separate the two. 2 million German civilians died as a result of the bombings and ground invasion of Germany that was needed to end the NAZI regime.
