Airman who set self on fire grew up on religious compound

[BidenPresident]

His suicidal protest instantly won him praise among some antiwar and pro-Palestinian activists, while others said they were devastated that he would take an action so extreme.

Bushnell was raised in a religious compound in Orleans, Mass., on Cape Cod, according to Susan Wilkins, 59, who said she was a member of the group from 1970 to 2005. She said that she knew Bushnell and his family on the compound and that he was still a member when she left. Wilkins said she heard through members of Bushnell’s family that he eventually left the group.

Good story from Washington Post.
Sounds a bit like Tim McVeigh.

Wilkins also said it is common for members of the Community of Jesus to join the military, describing the transition as moving from “one high-control group to another high-control group.”

The Air Force said in a statement Monday night that Bushnell’s death is under investigation by military officials, a common practice after the death of a service member. He was a cyberdefense operations specialist with the 531st Intelligence Support Squadron at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland in Texas, and had been in the Air Force since May 2020, the service said.

It's been proven since the time of The Crusades and The Spanish Inquisition that religion can be fatal.

Perhaps. But he did not harm anyone but himself.

Don't they do background checks on these people anymore? Especially for a job like "cyberdefense operations specialist", with an "Intelligence Support Squadron"?
