You're telling me that people who are deliberately taught to be able to murder are more likely to commit violence? Wow, who would have guessed.

[-] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 55 points 6 days ago

I mean, yeah, that's what US Military Service is.

From 1990 to 2010, about seven persons per year with U.S. military backgrounds committed extremist crimes. Since 2011, that number has jumped to almost 45 per year

C'mon, those are rookie numbers. You gotta bump those up! dorner

They don't count crimes committed as part of service though.

Damn there's limits to how far you can destroy the social contract? But that might contradict with the profit motive did-someone

they-dont-know They don't know the US military is a violent, extremist organization.

It's less a military thing as much as it's an "I committed war crimes in Afghanistan" thing

Israeli is gonna have an insane domestic terror problem if it still exists in 10-20 years

When I was in Rome, we went to a beautiful Lemon/Orange Grove. It had a wall around the whole thing. They said that this was the place that they brought soldiers after war to decompress in it's majesty. We don't even do that here. We know we made them killing machines but we don't even give them peace.

All American society gives to them is marvel/hollywood slop and social media addiction and they wonder why they turn out like this

Ya'll haven't read Programmed to Kill and it fucking shows. NO SHIT. MK ULTRA WAS REAL. It's a strategy of tension, Gladio 2.0. It could not get more obvious.

Let's get even more statistically important: How many were men that identify as CIS ?

CIS American men are not OK. And we need to get them help.

The Murrah Federal building bombing, Timothy McVeigh was prior Army. Not special services but he was in an experimental unit

I’m sure there are more examples, probably within other countries as well. Makes sense for a variety of reasons.

If you know a veteran, get them social and integrated in a community. Preferably stuff like Team RWB, About Face Veterans Against the War, Veterans for Peace.
