Part 1: Sniper Nicholas Irving on Predicting Attacks in the U.S. During Previous VladTV Interview
--------
Former U.S. Army sniper Nicholas Irving reflected on the case of Shamsud-Din Jabbar, an Army veteran involved in an attack on New Orleans. Irving, who has extensive battlefield experience, shared his skepticism about the possibility of someone with a desk role, like Jabbar, developing severe PTSD, which might lead to such violent actions. Having completed six military deployments, with five involving direct combat, Irving expressed confusion about how a desk job could result in significant trauma.
Irving also speculated on the possibility of Jabbar becoming an ISIS sympathizer, recalling an incident where a soldier was captured after attempting to join the Taliban. He mentioned that a "weak mind" might be more susceptible to external influences. However, Irving emphasized his nuanced view developed over time, sharing moments when he began to see the humanity in those previously seen as enemies during his deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan.
