Drew you are both insulting and smug at the same time.

I handled a weapon during boot camp and never again during that 21 years.
Nope, there was another time. I had a chance to qualify with a 9mm some
years later and took it. That took half a day and was fun.

People are people, going into the military does not change who you are. It
will push some limits, and for some it puts them in a position they wish
had never happened.
The last I heard only 10% of the military where in the combat end
of things, the rest were in some type of support.




hmm, you obviously are not understanding that we are in complete agreement.
That is my
point exactly. If you read my post and the one I was replying to, you will
see that. I stated that the people she referred to as former military with
violent tendencies were not created through military training. I pointed to
the
millions of law abiding mild mannered former military people that went
through
training and are not fundamentally changed by it. I also pointed out the
someone
with a violent tendency beforehand might be attracted to and join the
military. they would leave with the same tendencies they entered with. In
other
words, the training is
not creating the violent tendencies.
