View

This document is page 18 from the book 'How America Lost Its Secrets' (likely by Edward Jay Epstein, given the filename 'Epst'), processed as a House Oversight Committee record. It details Edward Snowden's discharge from the Army in 2004, disputing his claims of medical discharge (broken legs) with neighbor testimony and Army records citing an 'administrative discharge.' It further covers his subsequent employment as a security guard at the University of Maryland and his online activity on Ars Technica, including his aspirations to be a male model.
