Candace Owens has not held back in taking aim at the US military for its alleged impact on two US terror attacks, pinning part of the blame on the military.
It has been widely reported that the two main suspects involved in the incidents – one in New Orleans and the other in Las Vegas – were both former military, with the terrorist involved in the New Orleans killing having given an interview about concerns he had about the military back in 2015.
Owens, a popular Conservative commentator, took to social media with a post that has been seen almost 700,000 times at the time of writing to hit out at the “sadistic governement programs” in the military.
She wrote: “The New Orleans terrorist and the guy who blew up the Tesla truck both had served at the same army base. Given what we know about the history of sadistic government programs in our military, this brings forth more questions than answers.”

In the 2015 interview, Shamsud-Din Jabbar allegedly had issues with some of the administrative issues that members of the military have to deal with on a daily basis.
He reportedly “lamented that a single missing piece of paperwork or a missed signature could just have you slip through the cracks” or have you missing a check that you may direly depend on.
Less information is available about the man who blew up the car in Las Vegas, though it has been confirmed that he was an active-duty US Army soldier.
