“Of course the military considers itself involved when its members commit crimes.”

Definition: “Being involved means being a part of something or associated with it. If you volunteer on a team to clean up the playground, you’re involved...”

The military is NOT “involved” in a crime if the person doing it has some previous or current association with the military. The military is not causing, agreeing to, supporting or helping in the criminal act, nor does it know or suspect it will happen.

So your definition is bullshit.

Further: Tyler Robinson is not “involved” in the military, nor is the military “involved” with him! This is the guy whose DNA was found at the site of the shooting.

So on a more general level, how do we approach the concept of any rogue members of the military committing crimes like murder, in the future?

Is it better to be open about the circumstances and the evidence, or should we always believe only what we’re told?

That is, should we apply common sense and intuition, or should we only trust the government to tell us what’s true and what’s not true?
