U.S. Military Service Is the Strongest Predictor of Carrying Out Extremist Violence
The mass murder in New Orleans and Cybertruck explosion in Las Vegas fit a troubling pattern among U.S. vets, research says.
You're viewing a single thread.
A lot of wannabe extremists are encouraged to join the military to receive training by other wannabe extremists.
yeah. street gangs do the same. young kid is reticent about killing. get them to join up at 17 and comes back with valueable skills and if a war was happening then all the better as they will get rid of that hesitation they had.
I wonder what the balance is between that killer conditioning & training coming right back to the streets versus an unexpected career that takes the person away from the gang.
That's the problem of the other side, sorry. Leftists should join the military to receive the necessary training. Why - because a knife is not good or bad, it's a tool. If your enemy is buying a knife, you'd better buy a knife too.
Joining the brown children murder brigade for the valuable experience to oppose the brown children murder brigade is a pitch hadn't heard before.
I think you should exercise your own best judgement on whether your service will involve murdering brown children.
But it's strange you haven't heard this before. It's a rather old story, of needing to have soldiers to do an uprising, and one doesn't become a soldier by doing what I am, writing stupid things in the Internet.
Working for the brown children murder brigade with no intention of murdering children seems a bit misguided but what do I know.
Well, there were some field commanders in Artsakh in the 90s who'd volunteered to be sent to Afghanistan with Soviet troops before with the sole purpose of getting experience. So ... it's fucked up, but not misguided, and it's not what you said.
That’s the problem. These guys get out of the military and there are no enemies, so they have to invent them. Your solution just produces more people looking for enemies to stab.
If there are already a lot of such guys on the other side, and these ones will be on your side, then it's still right.
“Side”
This isn’t a sports game, it’s real life.
When I had a yellow jacket nest in my garage, the solution wasn’t “more yellow jackets,” it was to get rid of the nest. When your house is on fire, the fire department doesn’t show up with flame throwers to make more fire. When you accidentally poop your pants, the solution isn’t to poop some more.
Yet somehow when the problem is gun violence, people think the solution is somehow more guns and more violence.
One can find such analogies and one can find analogies with the opposite result.
That'd be because analogies don't prove anything.
