I mean the guy may have been at the end of his rope for multiple reasons. I mean fort bragg/liberty has really high levels of lead in their water, mold in their facilities, etc., plus whatever PTSD he may have had. Who knows. However, being trained, he should have known this wasn't going to be some massive explosion, that it was mostly just going to set the truck on fire.

This is beside the point of course, but I just want to point out that while I do think renaming facilities that were named after confederate soldiers is overall a good idea, in Bragg's case they should have made an exception. Through incompetence, he accomplished more for the union than for the confederacy.

Kinda like the Finns calling their fire bottles "Molotov Cocktails" as a jab at Ambassador Vyacheslav Molotov.

Maybe he knew and is a misunderstood (trashy cyberpunk) "Burning Monk"

I wouldn't be all that surprised honestly

You would think a little homemade thermite would be enough to reach the batteries and set them ablaze
