Iraq: the gift that keeps on giving. Enjoy America!
OKLAHOMA CITY — Police spent the day searching the house of a decorated, two-tour Iraq war veteran on Tuesday, one day after he was arrested and charged with making explosive devices and attempting to sell them.
The investigation and arrest was prompted by a tip that the former Soldier was supposedly making improvised explosive devices to sell to gang members, according to a probable cause affidavit. […]
For as little as $100, Jordal was making the same kinds of weapons he saw used against his fellow soldiers in Iraqi and selling them on the streets of Okalahoma City to gang members and known criminals, according to the document.
The police informant had seen Jordal testing explosives in an area near N. Western and 122 Street and said Jordal had custom- made a device for someone who wanted to damage the vehicle of someone who owed money on a drug deal.
Sadly, this is one present that’s nonreturnable. But at least this soldier’s experience in Iraq wasn’t all wasted. He clearly picked up a valuable entrepreneurial skill set over there while defending our freedoms.
