Jack Teixeira’s former classmates said he was obsessed with the military as a high-schooler and would often carry around large books on guns.
Accused US intelligence leaker and Massachusetts Air National Guardsman Jack Teixeira was fascinated with the military and war in high school and entered the same intelligence unit his step-father served in for more than three decades — before he was then accused of the biggest national security breach in a decade.
“He was more of a loner, and having a fascination with war and guns made him off-putting to a lot of people.” Others recalled that Teixeira displayed some alarming behavior in school, including making purportedly racist remarks, and once showing up to class in a T-shirt emblazoned with an image of an AR-15 a day after the deadly Las Vegas mass shooting in 2017.
Teixeira grew up in North Dighton, Mass. in a military family and joined up after graduating high school.that he even missed his high school graduation in the summer of 2020 to attend basic training in Texas.
