On May 7, 2004, Snowden enlisted in the United States Army with the hope of eventually joining the Special Forces.[1] He said, "I wanted to fight in the Iraq war because I felt like I had an obligation as a human being to help free people from oppression"[6] but was discharged just months later on September 28 after breaking both of his legs in a training accident. His next employment was as a National Security Agency (NSA) security guard for a covert facility at the University of Maryland,[15] before joining the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to work on IT security.[16]
In 2007, the CIA stationed him with diplomatic cover in Geneva, Switzerland, where he was responsible for maintaining computer network security.[17] Snowden left the agency in 2009 for a private contractor inside an NSA facility on a United States military base in Japan.[6]
At the time of his departure from the US in May 2013, he had been working for consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton for less than three months as a system administrator inside the NSA in Hawaii.[18][19] He described his life as "very comfortable," earning a salary of "roughly US$200,000",[6] although his employer disputed this claim on June 10, when he was fired "for violations of the firm's code of ethics and firm policy."[20][21] Glenn Greenwald, a journalist who initially interviewed Snowden and reported Snowden's revelations, later wrote, “It's possible Booz Allen is using a pro-rated figure, or it's possible Snowden talked about his salary at his prior NSA job at Dell.
"The Guardian describes Snowden as intensely passionate about the value of privacy; his laptop displays stickers supporting internet freedom organizations including the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and the Tor Project.["
