Aaron Bushnell claimed he had secret knowledge of US troops fighting in Hamas tunnels under Gaza — just hours before setting himself on fire

"His actual job involves the processing of intelligence data. Some of what he was processing had to do with the Israeli Gaza conflict.

“One of the things he told me is that coming across his desk … was the US military was involved in the genocides going on in Palestine,’’ the friend said,

Looks like he also received a mandatory deployment order to “israel” to directly participate in the genocide before he decided to go through with this.

That’s not a deployment order, and I feel this has been taken out of context by people unfamiliar with the military. I can’t say with certainty what this is, but it could be guidance like “don’t wear your uniform in public if you’re in Israel”. It wouldn’t have no restrictions on releasing it if it were anything important.

To say this is evidence of mandatory deployment orders is ridiculous.

Yeah it’s unclassified. Plus it’s not even a secret that us troops are in Israel, biden sent like 2000 in November or December. It would be interesting news if they were fighting in Gaza, but I’m definitely going to need evidence before I even entertain that idea.

This document as evidence is particularly weak because the air force doesn’t fight on the ground.

Such a shame he killed the only troop willing to die for Palestinians, instead of killing- well

He did say he wasn’t going to be a part of the genocide, so that checks out

Supersedes All Previous Israel Reporting Instructions

Ok I’m a bit of a pedant and this type of language frustrates me. Give me an Order number, or document designation of any kind. This has no timeframe attached to it either. It should supersede a set of orders and not be vague like this.
