“The level of sophistication is not what we would expect from an individual with this type of military experience,”

The lack of sophistication, surely. Guy apparently filled the truck with actual boxes of untampered fireworks, most people could tell you that's not gonna work as a bomb.

Not really, you see some shit and endure some shit in the military. If someone then comes along and shows you that everything you endured was not only pointless but actively made the world worse, you might lose your shit. Most that go through that just become opioid addicts though.
