Two U.S. soldiers behind the fatal attacks in New Orleans, Louisiana and Las Vegas on New Year’s Day served on the same Army base and were both sent to Afghanistan at the same time during the U.S. “surge” there. The new timelines of the two men’s service record appear to contradict a law enforcement official’s statement last week that there were no overlapping assignments in the service record of the two men.
The two men served in different units under separate commands on Fort Liberty, North Carolina — then known as Fort Bragg — for 11 months in 2012 and 2013.

But for some recent Marine recruits, the uniforms in their photos were ‘photoshopped’ on.
