“Does military ‘service’ make one more likely to engage in violent conduct? Or does a proclivity for such conduct cause future mass shooters to seek out such ‘service?’ Maybe it’s a bit of both. Maybe there are other factors. But the correlation seems strong enough to believe there’s a connection of SOME kind. While the whole subject is likely too complex to admit of simple solutions, the problem can clearly at least be reduced at one end — by creating fewer people who find themselves mentally twisted and morally haunted by the experience of killing other people.” (01/05/25)
