Though that post was long, I am left to wonder what was omitted.

He encountered a man trying to load his daughters car onto a flat bed truck. He approached and asked, "what's going on", at that moment the man at the truck hollored to him. 'STOP'. and pushed him abruptly on his right shoulder, enough to compel the veteran to draw his handgun and defend himself.

The story places great emphasis on the defendant's status as a veteran. Why?
It doesn't seem sensible to come within reach of someone who could threaten you with grave harm just by pushing your shoulder, or to fail to appeal a matter with merit just because someone told him he can't appeal.
