nostr:npub1aq2wqds7uk7g9tfv6gmm2qk0t6cmqmpzh5n9hkdghgx3d0x75syspa4nfw I'm going to go out on a limb here and predict Travis may have had a history of 'poor decision making' already, that that he was nudged into the military to turn him around, but this appears not to have been fruitful in it's goals.
