 | | McVeigh, never an outgoing man, became increasingly isolated in his three years and seven months in the Army, retreating into a spit-and-polish persona that did not admit nights away from the barracks or close friendships, even though he was in a "Cohort" unit that kept nearly all the personnel together from basic training through discharge. |
 | | McVeigh tried to be the perfect soldier, working longer and harder than anyone else, winning quicker promotions, even re-enlisting just before the Persian Gulf war, in which he killed Iraqis as the gunner aboard a Bradley fighting vehicle in the thick of action at the Kuwaiti border. |
 | | McVeigh was seen at a Michigan Militia meeting in Jackson, Mich., where speakers talked of a need to take action against the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms, one of the main Federal agencies in the Waco incident and one of the agencies housed in the Federal Building in Oklahoma City. |
