There's also an archetype of the "disillusioned veteran" looming around American Leftist circles because it's good to have guys with guns around your party and everyone loves a turnaround story.

disillusioned vets are more likely to do a mass shooting than join a leftist organization without intention to grift

To me the fact this guy was a Blackwater dude makes this shit even more fucking ridiculous.

I'm sure there are some genuine "turnaround stories" with vets out there. But I don't think any of them would join fucking Blackwater after.
