Ranger Robs Bank To “Bring Light War Crimes”

Oh absolutely, sticking a gun in a bank teller’s face is the perfect way to bring to light war crimes perpetrated by special forces. Everyone knows that. His claims of war crimes were investigated by Army officials and were found to be unsubstantiated. Sure, you could argue that the Army is covering it up, but if that’s the case, why are there prosecutions for other war crimes?

If the Army wanted to, they could cover up a lot of things, but one thing they always do is, as a whole, serve with honor and there are rules that must be followed.

So this kid decides to purchase hand grenades, AK-47’s, and body armor and rob a bank. Well if it was for ideological reasons, why purchase the hand grenades? This guy’s story is full of holes and it doesn’t add up. Here’s a perfect comment from the criminal “genius” himself:

“I’m smart. If I wanted to make money, I’d sell pot. If I wanted to make money, I’d sell heroin. If I wanted to make money, I’d be a professional assassin. You know, like there are so many different things,” he said. “What do I need to rob a bank for?”

A real winner there. These young men don’t seem to understand that when you commit a crime against a civilian, it hurts the image of the military as a whole. They don’t understand that there’s a chain of command where they can confidentially tell someone about “war crimes”. Bursting into a bank with automatic weapons, masks, and body armor isn’t going to do anything but terrify the occupants of the bank and earn you a trip to military prison for a very long time.
