On Saturday, agents arrested him after he pledged loyalty to Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and said he wanted to "take his rifle, his magazines and kill 'a bunch of people.'"

Kang and the agents together made combat training videos he believed would be taken to the Middle East to help prepare the group's soldiers to fight American forces, according to the affidavit. Kang had received the highest level of combat training available in the Army and was a mixed martial arts enthusiast.

Also on Saturday, Kang and an undercover agent allegedly went shopping for a drone to give to Islamic State fighters.

Kang said the drone would allow the fighters to view the battlefield from above "to find tank positions and avenues for escape" from U.S. soldiers, the affidavit said. He used his debit card to pay nearly $1,400 for the drone, Go-Pro camera and related equipment. The agent paid him $700 to split the cost.

A trained air traffic controller based at Hawaii's Wheeler Army Airfield, Kang had his military clearance revoked in 2012 for making pro-Islamic State comments while at work and on-post and threatening to hurt or kill fellow service members.

His clearance was reinstated a year later after he completed military requirements.

fucking wow

*Military clearance (not security clearance)...DoD prob wanted to save face by giving the crazyman a second chance to reform....You bet your ass OSI was on him though.

I don't get it, though. If, in the 1990s, an serviceman were to pledge his allegiance to Bin Laden and Al Qaeda, they'd boot his ass out of there pretty fucking fast.

What happened in the 2000s that this is not the case?

fucking wow

This reminds me of something a drill sgt told me. In some cases the military is too stupid to be stupid. I asked him what he meant by that, he said sometimes the military goes full retard...

In this case, I think it went past retard to potato.
