Last month Michael Estes was arrested when he attempted to bomb the Asheville, North Carolina Airport so that he could “fight a war on US soil”. We discussed him at this link<\/a>. He was out of jail after serving seven days of a 10-21 month sentence for an assault beef earlier this year when he planted his Claymore mine-like bomb in the airport. According to Heavy<\/a>, on his Facebook page he had claimed to a be “retired military” and that he left the service in 2014;<\/p>\n

That’s not exactly true – he was in the Marine Corps for a year and a month, ending in 2002. I suspect that he was AWOL and a deserter, because the discharge says that his one year of service occurred between August 1999 and February 2002 – during a two-and-a-half year span of time indicating “bad time”. He also only accrued 3 months in his primary occupational specialty during that period. <\/p>\n

The discharge also says that he has 3 years and nine months of prior active service. We’re waiting for his FOIA from the Navy, so that’s probably where he served. With or without the Navy FOIA, he wasn’t on active duty until 2014, and he certainly didn’t retire from the military.<\/p>\n

I’m sure neither the Navy nor the Marine Corps taught him to build a bomb, nor did the services influence him to declare his own personal war on the United States. He looks as if his problems followed him into the Marines and followed him out. Estes had no deployments, so he can’t blame his wartime service – it looks like he went AWOL when the war started.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
