On that one I think everybody was distracted by trying to tie it to the fact that the soldier is a Muslim and therefore must have been in the pocket of Al Qaeda or, as this NRO article suggests Saudi Wahhabists.

But here's an article tying his action to his anti-war views and involvement. Here's another linking his actions to slogans from the anti-war movement (and a perfectly awful slogan it is). Here is an article connecting the dots between the anti-war movement and Asan Akbar.

So rather than saying it didn't happen, maybe you just didn't notice it so much when you were likely more in agreement with the connections being made.
