Ok so the two new years attacks were both ex-army folks from the same base at the same time and who deployed to Afghanistan during the same period, one of whom suddenly starts posting "I want to join ISIS" out of nowhere after landlording for a bit and the other whose wife started posting "I look at Donald Trump's Twitter because I want to kill people" at some point and they both decide to do truck based attacks in the same day out of fucking nowhere using trucks that they rented from the same app, one of which (the white dude) is "aimed" at Trump and Elon I guess but is completely ineffective and the other kills and hurts a shitload of randos just trying to have a good time.

This seems very false-flag "please stop being mad at capitalism to me".

Very "go back to killing each other instead of hunting down CEOs"

The base they were both at was Fort Bragg, which is where a lot of the training for special forces happens. At least it did a long time ago, figure it's probably the same now. Basically they all spend a lot of time there and they also go to language school there, so it's really likely that any SF who was in the army at the same time was probably at Fort Bragg at the same time.

Isn't that also the base where a shit load of drug smuggling takes place?

Yeah, it's close to I-95 that runs from South Florida all the way up the east coast. I haven't been there in decades now, but I remember several big drug busts happening. Lots of troops getting caught doing coke, meth, etc.
