You are incredibly dishonest. You have argued that the victim’s military service essentially ruled against him being a hothead, and that it was a statistical improbability that anyone coming out of the military could be unstable. That is an untenable argument. I countered your statement by reminding you of Mr. Nidal Hassam, an Arabic Islamic U.S. military officer who fired upon and executed many unarmed troops at a U.S. military base in a fit of jihadist rage. In your next post defending against my comments further, you very conveniently FORGOT that you had argued this point against me in your earlier post. And then you have the gall to pretend not to know what the attack I mentioned has to do with the theater shooting? It has to do with your comments! It is proof that your premise about ex military people being essentially stable and not hot heads is bunk and garbage, that’s what it has to do with!
You should have just posted the article and stopped there.
Less tenable than your position that his military experience likely made him into an unstable hot-head with problems with authority figure? I think not.

So it's your position that most officers in the military are likely to go off and shoot up their command at the drop of a hat? I would think it more likely that the overwhelming majority are stable, disciplined, controlled individuals who are no danger to anyone. But that's just me.
