After reading this whole thread today I can't decide whether I'm disappointed or not with the lack of closure, what more can people say unless Nola writes some more.

I don't understand why a educated/privileged person would join the FFL, it makes no sense to me. Initially I thought, ok maybe he wanted a EU passport, but then we find out for whatever reason he renounced his French citizenship for some other EU country.... we then find out later that he has/already a Estonian passport. It seems to me that the only people that join are from "shithole countries" or people with shady pasts.

What is the motive for someone to join the FFL after already being in the US army?

I think it might be pretty easy to lie about going to MIT if he had a friend or family member that went there.

I'll cut the guy some slack as far as timelines being exaggerated but I find it difficult to believe why he would want to do half of this shit he has allegedly done.

Sense of adventure really, some guys are just like that. Nola also mentioned a DUI, and a drunk purchase of a plane ticket. To be honest, I make a lot of brash decisions when drunk, and if I got a DUI in the States, I'd probably do something pretty crazy too. You're incorrect about french citizenship, I have to stop you there. You're eligible for it after 3 years, but you don't have to take it. If you "spill blood" then you're eligible for it immediately. You're making an over-broad generalization about the type of people that join more than likely.

Why would someone join after being in the navy (not army)? Maybe an existential crisis, or a desire to get out of the US?

MIT claims have been checked by Quintis, and he indicates that he buys Nola's claim to have attended MIT.

I am sure the timelines are obfuscated a bit to protect privacy, I do the same thing commonly.

So he joins the FFL out of a sense of adventure after already having been in Navy?

As far as the French citizenship, in one of his posts he clearly states that he received it and then later renounced it.

I don't see why you're being so defensive of a guy that you briefly talked to over Skype or whatever it was.
