The gesture is not lost, but I'm afraid the most likely outcome will be for the Empire to redouble its efforts to eliminate any lingering sense of compassion and humanity left in the troops that are coerced to serve for an education and some semblance of healthcare.
Can't have more acts of empathy with the wretched of the earth popping up. A renewed or remaining conscience is bad for America. Can't have more troops feeling remorse for the innocent dead, it'll directly affect Raytheon's stock prices.
It is a shame his sacrifice will be written off by the people enabling the genocide and outright ignored by the ones committing it. And it's frightening that with his intimate knowledge of America, Israel and the military industrial complex, the most effective method of protesting genocide he could think of was with his remaining life.
Rest in peace, Aaron Bushnell
