The Las Vegas guy is reportedly a Special Forces drone pilot or something called Matthew Livelsberger - if it was a terrorist attack, it's weird that somebody with his experience couldn't manage something more effective than a blast confined to a single vehicle.
Also weird that he was at the same base as the New Orleans attacker, but maybe just coincidence, some of the bigger bases like Fort Hood have more than 200,000 personnel

It's all good, man
I think you're giving more credit than warranted. Being good at World of Warplanes doesn't necessarily translate to a lack of ineptitude.

Officials in New Orleans were warned five years ago that the French Quarter was vulnerable to this kind of attack
Five years before a man in a pickup mowed down dozens of New Year’s revelers in New Orleans, a confidential security report warned that the iconic Bourbon Street tourist strip was vulnerable to a “vehicular ramming” attack.
The assessment, prepared by a security firm in November 2019 for the group that manages the city’s French Quarter, warned that the bollards designed to block vehicles from entering Bourbon Street did “not appear to work.” The New York security firm recommended fixing the barriers immediately, and said that “the two modes of terror attack likely to be used are vehicular ramming and active shooting.”
...New Orleans first installed its metal security barriers along Bourbon Street in 2017, after scores of people were killed in a terrorist truck attack on a Bastille Day parade in Nice, France, a year earlier.
But those bollards, which are designed to block vehicles from crashing into buildings and pedestrians, were quickly jammed with Mardi Gras beads and stopped working, said Rafael Goyeneche, head of the city’s independent Metropolitan Crime Commission, a watchdog and advisory group. “Rather than fix them, they just ignore it,” he said in an interview.

On a related topic, just another Trump supporter! What the fuck is going on, that he is free*, and there are crickets from the MSM?
Jesse on the biggest ever discovery of explosives from a civilian, and how this nutjob is still out there. 8mins.
* I haven't seen the outcome of this yet, but was just going on comments that neighbours had said he is home. More info to come no doubt.

His family are saying he loved Trump. So obviously not a terrorist.
Cybertruck blast suspect was a ‘Rambo type’ who loved Trump, family says
Exclusive: Matthew Livelsberger’s shocked uncle told The Independent that the Green Beret was a ‘supersoldier’

Weird how the press seems so much more comfortable reporting his ravings than it was reporting Luigi Mangione's alleged manifesto
The writings found on Sergeant Livelsberger’s phone suggest that he had been increasingly concerned about politics. In one note shared by the police, Sergeant Livelsberger said that people should “try peaceful means first but be prepared to fight” to get Democrats out of the federal government.
In another, he said that “masculinity is good and men must be leaders,” adding that people should rally around Mr. Trump and Elon Musk, Tesla’s chief executive and a top donor to the Trump campaign.
