Master Sgt. Matthew Alan Livelsberger's act, which ended his life and invoked an explosion, was framed as a 'wake-up call' regarding the country's issues.
In his notes, Sergeant Livelsberger stated, 'Americans only pay attention to spectacles and violence. What better way to get my point across than a stunt with fireworks and explosives?'
Livelsberger's actions were not terroristic; he emphasized that his intention was to highlight grievances and awaken the public's awareness to societal problems.
The explosion raised public fear about a potential link to terrorism, but law enforcement found no evidence connecting Livelsberger to any terrorist organizations.
