According to the news the killer spent 4 months in Iraq in 2011. No time in Afghanistan. He was never wounded. Never in combat apparently. What trauma did he endure to stress about?

The FOB Green Bean ran out of white chocolate mocha syrup. It’s very, very disheartening when that happens.

Perhaps he he had been indoctrinated to believe - to KNOW - that he MUST suffer some form of disorder after serving in a war zone.

The modern explosives are so powerful that they can cause brain bruising or brain bleeding in bystanders 1/4 mile away from the blast. That is why we have a lot of guys returning with TBI (traumatic brain injury). This related DailyNews article erred when it said:

Lopez reported that he suffered a brain injury during his tour in Iraq, but was not wounded in combat, Milley said.
Brain trauma is a wound, and it is much harder to treat in many cases than a physical injury.

The use of drones and high-powered sights is a good thing to keep our soldiers far away, because wars against these ghouls cannot be fought humanely or face-to-face. That's an "antiquated European notion" of honor among soldiers.
