Some of his thinking at the time is revealed in his last e-mail to his parents before his capture:

And this is sad and disappointing. Clearly this person was not cut out for life in the military.

When he says "In the Army they cut you down for being honest". The term I use to describe such people are "failure to adapt" (which seems to be a common military term). Most likely he disagreed with why were are in Afghanistan, and that's his right. But what he sees as the truth isn't what the vast majority of people see as the truth.

He just wasn't cut to be in the military, just like that guy that gave all of that info to wikileaks.
