We create monsters then wonder why they do monstrous things. How confused we have become. Disturbing stuff thanks for sharing.

i guess,unless your a full blown bona fida psychopath,how could a human being enjoy murdering someone?
a life cant be taken back,and i suspect many of them are questioning what the hell they are really doing there ,and why,i feel very sorry for them actually,its portrayed as manly and all that chit,but murder is never manly ,

this is such a reflection of the pointlessness of war,spin it any way u want,cal it necessary evil and all that crap,call it necessary cos the other guy does it,it aint and never will be,

it will always be glorified murder,folks are evolving,whether they like it or not,it cannot be helped,

what the hell are they dying for? liberty,freedom?democracy? come off it,there dying for resources,

yeh label me an idealogue cos i find it abhorrent,wait till its your relative,son,brother,father,then see how you feel about"democracy"-so not necessary.

In the 1920's, the prohibition gangsters actively recruited WW1 Vets because they had been hardened by war and had no qualms about bringing the skill-set they learned on the battlefield into play for the gangsters. War is a Pandora's Box, when you create a blood thirsty killer for the battlefield you can't expect them to come home and be normal. The psychological traits and patterns that a soldier develops, and then hones in battle, are still there when they return, and unfortunately can be triggered resulting in violence. It's one of the costs of war, and one of the reasons I believe the cost of war is too high.

now is a good time for humanity to grow the fuk up i say. if we dont,we may induce catastrophe on ourselves,im sure there are some who even want that to happen,incredously.the population can be managed with sensibility,not destruction.

Take 1,163 civilians and drug test them! I bet you'll get more then 70 people who would fail, me included :p Marine for 8 years but I only like the ganja always have but for those 8 years never touched it and most other Marines/Sailors/Soildiers/and Airmen never do either. However I bet the number of alcoholics may be higher in vets. Nothing worse then getting deployed to a dry country with a bunch of alcoholics who cant get a fix.
