Now, why isn't the headline: "Man Who Opened Fire on SC Police Identified as 74-Year-Old FORMER ATTORNEY"?
Which is pertinent? His service in VN or his years as an attorney.
Hate to side with the media, who will beat this "crazed vet' senario like a dead horse but his skills learned in the military probably increased his deadly accuracy more than his verbal skills as a lawyer.

Depends on the branch. Army and Marine Corps, sure. Air Force and Navy? Less likely. Hell, I was Air Force, and firearms training for us was bupkiss. I've learned more and done more since I got out to improve my skills than I ever got in the service.

That’s exactly what they did with the thug that massacred the Dallas Police officers.
They kept talking about his being ex-military.
