In a moment of bone-chilling honesty, Chris Jones admits thinking, “I can’t believe I was shooting farmers in Afghanistan while these fu**ers are still breathing back home.” For Jones, January 6 was not a wakeup call -- rather, it served as a confirmation of a successful coup d’état of American armed services indoctrinated into a far-right ideology akin to fascism.
