    It robs us of our most dedicated comrades to shame people who are immune to shame. It is not a fair trade

      I know. If Bushnell didn't stop the war then why would anyone think this is the way to go? I guess it makes a scene and brings attention but that's next to nothing, attentions are frayed these days.

          Bushnell seemed to have a lot to live for. They were happily leaving the Air Force having recognised how evil the USA was, had posted about planning to study and other careers. There's some speculation Bushnell might have been trans (usernames, posts and subreddits visited). Things seemed good and there was no concerns about their mental health from friends or family. The genocide in Palestine seems to genuinely effect them to the point where self-immolation seemed to be the only option. All very devastating.
