They didn't even share his name, either it is something middle eastern sounding or they just want everyone to forget about him.

From lower down in this post, his name is Aaron Bushnell.

There's already a Wikipedia article about the incident.

From what I recall on Twitter it's a white dude, but they didn't want to share his name.

He's definitely white from the video but they probably want to scrub his social media history before they release his name.

I saw he was an anarchist? Not much info that I saw but yeah I could see him having a hard time in the military. I was an anarchist when I was younger too.
