Portions of the Washington Post article, "An Ordinary Boy's Extraordinary Rage" from 1995, that I find the most thought-provoking.

"For the most part, any aberrations in Tim McVeigh's life were hidden under an exterior so bland as to be nondescript. Many acquaintances had to struggle to think of something -- anything -- to relate about him. His interest in firearms was known only to friends who also liked them; a good friend from the track team never even knew McVeigh owned a BB gun. In retrospect, merely appearing regular seems to have been a lifelong pursuit."

"Neighborhood boys noticed differences between the McVeighs' home and theirs. Adults were rarely around. Tim never had birthday parties. His chief disciplinarian was his sister Patty, only two years his senior, who summoned his friends' mothers to reprimand the boys when they got out of hand."

"Only in retrospect would friends find it odd that Tim never mentioned his mother, almost from the day she left, although he spoke fondly of his father, who coached Little League, raised him as a Buffalo Bills fanatic and never raised his voice. "I thought his mother was dead or something," said Army roommate and friend William "Dave" Dilly."

"In a region of hunting enthusiasts, it caused little stir when Tim, at 10, became interested in guns. But a close relative said that the family saw this as a bid for attention by a boy who didn't know how else to ask for it."

"The neighbor said Tim had always talked patriotically of defending America. Perhaps it made sense that a young boy often forced to fend for himself would fantasize about fighting the world all alone."

"McVeigh, who seemed bland in the extreme in high school, struck a co-worker as wild. McVeigh gave him rides home, tearing down side streets at 70 miles an hour. From the truck, the man said, McVeigh yelled at slower drivers and grabbed the butt of his shotgun, "like he was going to blow them away."

"Sometimes when I was driving, he'd put his face right next to mine and scream that the cars were going too slow, and then just keep his face there and stare at me," the co-worker said. "Other days he'd be all right. It was like sometimes he was on medication. I think maybe he was just starting to go crazy when I knew him."

Jennifer was the only female McVeigh mentioned fondly, other soldiers said. Family friends said Tim loved protecting her as a child, as if it filled an emotional hole. Dilly said he used to call her often from Riley. "I remember him saying that he loved her so much," Curnutte said.

"There were things we never knew about him because he was so much to himself, and I wonder if there must've been an emptiness there," said Anderson. "He was always the perfect soldier, uniform always perfect, and yet here's this guy who I don't know if he ever had a date. One side is outstanding and another side so lacking. It makes me think the Army filled a lot of voids, and when he no longer had the Army, he had to fill the void with something."

"A rail-thin, low-wage security guard patrolling the desolate grounds of a Buffalo defense contractor was hardly the way Dilly envisioned McVeigh's future. But that was where he landed after a Dec. 31, 1991, discharge. Outside the Army's rigid structure and expectations, outside a world organized around guns and uniforms, McVeigh was rudderless."

"I always thought he was the lost child looking for something solid, to be accepted," said Irene Fortier, mother of Michael, an Army friend of McVeigh's now under investigation as a possible conspirator in the bombing. "There was something about him that wanted normalcy so badly. Each time he came back and got a job I thought, Well, he finally settled down,' and then he was gone again."

"He showed up in his hometown of Pendleton; in Decker, Mich., home of Terry Nichols; and in Kingman, Ariz., home of Fortier, each time telling people he was looking for a place to settle after the Army. But no matter how much time passed, or how far he traveled, he wore all or part of his Army uniform. The shirt around Pendleton. The military-issue underwear in Decker. The hat at the lumber yard at True Value hardware in Kingman. The full battle fatigues at his grandfather's estate sale in Lockport last November. The pants when he rented a motel room days before the bombing."

Sketch of Tim and his mugshot as they appear on the FBI's website about the Oklahoma City bombing.

"A day after the bombing, the FBI released a sketch of a suspect who rented a Ryder truck in Kansas. That suspect was Timothy McVeigh."

"McVeigh was responsible for bombing the federal building in Oklahoma City on April 19, 1995. After the rear axle of the Ryder truck was located, it yielded a vehicle identification number that was traced to a body shop in Junction City, Kansas. Employees at the shop helped the FBI quickly put together a composite drawing of the man who had rented the van. Agents showed the drawing around town, and local hotel employees supplied a name: Tim McVeigh."

Here's that picture in two different lightings. He was 27 at the time of this photo being taken and it was only hours after the attack.

what was tim mcveigh like in the army? since he was a veteran and all

Ah, you reminded me that I still need to research more but in one of the articles I've read that outlined his past experiences, it mentioned thag he mostly thrived during his sefvice and embraced the disciplined lifestyle well.

However, as opposed to Tim's enthusiasm for the military lifestyle, he also had a distaste for some of the more violent aspects of army culture. He deemed that the violence was sometimes unnecessary and sickening.

He  was assigned to Fort Riley, Kansas, which is training ground for tank and armore vehicle operation. He was quite successful so he was invited to try out for Special Forces, one of his goals since joining the Army. However, he didn't get the chance because Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, prompting him to be one of the many other American soldiers sent to the Persian Gulf.

According to him, he didn't like the plan because they were set out to war like sacrificial lambs. On the second day of the conflict, he made a shot that earned him several medals. It was 2000 yards away, where he hit an Iraqi soldier manning a machine gun nest in the chest with his cannon. Tim's sentiments on the incident was that he was taken aback, especially after he discovered that many of the Iraqi soldiers did not want to be fighting and were equipped with inferior weaponry.

He wrote to one of his friends in Kuwait blaming Saddam because he didn't show up and that because of him, he killed an innocent man who was forced to fight. Something he wouldn't have done if he knew the circumstances beforehand. According to his aunt, "Tim came back broken." after the war because he felt extreme guilt for killing people who he didn't want to kill.

Then from there, he started to grow more opposed to the government and he had several heated debates with peers, his sister, even news articles and such. He didn't like the authoritarian nature of the military where he just followed orders and killed because he was told to. A common sentiment many other soldiers often share.
