Why would a person in his position do this? Has being in the military made him wary of our government and how it operates?

The military didn’t make him do this or make him wary of the government. Why he decided to follow the crowd only he knows. But, it did show a flaw in his decision making that will end his military career and land him in federal prison, if convicted on his charges.

His surname appears as though it’s Lithuanian. I’m wondering how far up his family tree the relatives are that probably fled Lithuania to escape a Russian/Soviet authoritarian regime to come here, & how ashamed of him they are that he supports that kind of leadership here.
