    On Wednesday afternoon, authorities confirmed Michael Mohn was a retired civil engineer with the Army Corps of Engineers.

    Fuck him for being a troop I guess, but god damn can’t any of these people target a higher up instead of a random retired engineer?

      I don’t have sympathy for 99.99% of western boots, but I don’t think having them beheaded several decades after retirement is worth celebrating lol. If he’s some CIA spook then I’d reconsider

        Yeah, this guy is so small in the grand scheme of everything that it feels like a “Really?” more than anything. This dude could have developed bombs (unlikely since this mostly gets contracted), but he also could have been designing water projects. It’d be like killing a DMV employee. I get it bro, I really do, but also is that who people are targeting?

        Don’t they, among other things, maintain a lot of the canals that the US uses to handle freight (at least until the summer time, when the rivers dry up for mysterious reasons)
