non-binary trans woman, she/her warning: I may like many of your posts

New York Times article text: “The Afghan refugee accused of shooting two National Guard members in Washington, D.C., fought in the late days of the U.S. war there as part of a "Zero Unit," a paramilitary force that worked with the C.I.A., according to a person briefed on the investigation and an Afghan intelligence officer familiar with the matter. The units were known for their brutality and labeled "death squads" by human rights groups. The suspect, identified by federal officials as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, grew up in a village in the eastern province of Khost. A childhood friend, who asked to be identified only as Muhammad because he feared Taliban reprisals, said that Mr. Lakanwal had suffered from mental health issues and was disturbed by the casualties his unit had caused. "He would tell me and our friends that their military operations were very tough, their job was very difficult, and they were under a lot of pressure," Muhammad said.”
