What?
He’s 22 years old and the article says:
After the 9/11 terrorist attacks — a day before Mr. Poplawski’s birthday — he decided to join the military, stopped going to classes and pursued a general educational development certificate.
“In boot camp he had missed his girlfriend so he had to make a decision … he got himself dishonorably discharged so he could come back,” Mr. Perkovic said.
According to Mr. Perkovic, Mr. Poplawski tossed a lunch tray at a drill instructor.
This doesn’t say exactly WHEN after 9/11 he joined the military, but the way it’s written can be misconstrued as occurring when he was 14.
