Where do we start??
IMHO, This guy didn't really want to kill anyone except himself.
“This guy didn’t really want to kill anyone except himself.”
I haven’t read about this too closely, but if that’s what he wanted to do I guess, since he was armed he could have easily done that.
Instead he shot and killed that woman. So, I don’t know what his problem was but it seems murder was his aim, not suicide.
Glad he’s dead though, but it doesn’t do much for the two toddlers the ranger left behind.
We're doing more now for vets than we EVER have before--and that includes WWI, WWII and Vietnam vets who saw incredibly horrible combat conditions--or years in horrific POW camps.
One can barely turn around and not hear on TV or other media about private and public groups helping out vets... My WWII-era parents are amazed at all the focus on vets today--something they never saw in their generation--and this for all volunteer military--that, relative to experience--are very well paid in salary and even life-time benefits. Almost every (smart) job recruiter too, gives preference for veterans...as the discipline and respect for authority engrained in the military, itself pays lifetime benefits.
Yes we need to be grateful and help out men and women who put their lives on the line to serve America, but, guys who go wild like this man evidently did--are not the fault of America not caring for her vets.
I think of the young woman with the two little girls....working to provide for the public on New Years Day...I'll save my sympathy for her dtrs and her husband and family...
