  > son of a senior official in the CIA. Not the son of a CIA Director, as the title seems to imply. Reading the article's account of his behavior - I'd say he was a seriously troubled young man, desperately searching for some sort of meaning or purpose to his life. > He told “Mert”, a Rainbow Family friend, that he joined not to fight but to gain a passport. > In one message, he said: “My goal in life is to build an infrastructure for the oxidation of water in a supercritical state. To put an end to environmental pollution and the diseases and deaths associated with pollution, that is: cancer, lymphoma and all the hormonal problems associated with microplastics and estrogens in water.” > Important Stories spoke to a member of the 137th regiment who said that, after training, Gloss was sent “to the assault units”. He last logged into Telegram in March. Sound like the Russians found a cheap meat shield. And Michael at least found an end to his troubled life.

    Nothing in this story suggests "seriously troubled". desperately searching for some sort of meaning or purpose to his life. Like a lot of people, young and old. That (or being a blithe traveling weirdo) doesn't make you 'seriously troubled'.
