[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A serving US Air Force officer is in a critical condition in hospital after setting himself on fire outside the Israeli embassy in DC and livestreaming the results.
| Unfortunately, not everyone who volunteers to wear the uniform is is wise and insightful. A few are idiots or mentally ill. |
Horrifying video was broadcast uploaded to social media channel Twitch on Saturday afternoon after the man dressed in combat fatigues declared 'I will no longer be complicit in genocide'.
| Aren’t y’all supposed to avoid wearing the uniform when engaging in politics? |
