That’s why DJT should be facing the same consequences as this young Airman will.

That would be the responsibility of his recruiter and MEPS. Nobody “put” him there. Leadership assumes everybody that goes through basic training and tech school has been vetted and cleared medically. There was nothing in his medical records if they let him through. He had nothing in his background, which is why he had the clearance he had.

As another autistic person, completely agreed lmao. It absolutely isn't to blame for something like this, autism isn't the kind of disorder that makes you commit more crimes.

Then he should have disclosed it during meps. I was a recruiter, all this says to me is a fraudulent enlistment. He lied, or recruiters lied. Probably both.

Well, no. People use mental illness as a "mitigating factor" all the time. This guy got the book thrown at him: He got 15 years in federal prison. And there's no 50% off discount in federal prison, btw, you serve 80% of the sentence. So he'll be doing at least 12. It's pretty stiff.
