Yes, a real act of aggression to do it in front of his wife. Of course the ‘vets are special and entitled’ folks are going to flame both of us.
The wife knows something or the soldier found out something about the wife that just cut his heart out from him....otherwise most just go somewhere privately to do the deed....
Something indeed stinks about this....
Perhaps he just went crazy out of solipsistic guilt, being tired of feeling like he was carrying the weight of the world and just ended it all, not caring who was around....
But the wife knows something...and she ain’t telling what. I wonder what a bit of digging around would uncover....
