The mass murder in New Orleans and Cybertruck explosion in Las Vegas fit a troubling pattern among U.S. vets, research says.

    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.

    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.

    It’s less a military thing as much as it’s an “I committed war crimes in Afghanistan” thing

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
