I wonder if this is related to combat caused mental issues. With multi deployments into combat zones, the mental health community has warned of increased violence. And the defense department failure to provide adequate resources, they continue to re_deploy head cases. What was once fistfight or shouting matches could now escalate to mass carnage. We'll see. |

My VA doctor lost her civilian medical practice because of three tours. Even during WWII the GIs didn't fight for such a prolonged time. |

In a month or so we've had 2 cops killed by teenagers or close in age that committed suicide after killing them. |
