I guess CBS News<\/a> is competing with CNN’s article<\/a> about PTSD and the the Baton Rouge murderer today. They blame the murderous rampages of the Baton Rouge killer and the Dallas killer on anger issues that are common among combat veterans;<\/p>\n

A study published by Army psychiatrists in 2015 found “anger and aggression are among the most common issues reported by returning service members from combat deployments.”<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

But a 2013 Army study of 2,000 combat veterans found thirty-five percent getting angry enough to kick or smash something, twenty-two percent angry enough to threaten someone with physical violence and seven percent angry enough to actually hit someone.<\/p>\n

A separate study pointed to something called “trait anger,” defined as a propensity to become angry under stressful conditions. In other words, anger could have been a personality trait before they joined the military and the stress of service made it worse.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Dallas murderer was an Army Reserve carpenter who was sent home from a deployment because of sexual harassment. The Baton Rouge murderer, a Marine veteran, was a “data network specialist”. Neither was involved in actual combat, however both were involved in the Black Lives Matter movement after their military service. <\/p>\n

So, what, besides the fact that they both wore uniforms and fought boredom during their deployments, do they really have in common that would cause them to hate white cops to the point of murdering mostly white cops? Seriously. Sometimes the most obvious answer is the correct answer.<\/p>\n

The stress of living among stupid pointy-headed civilian know-it-alls makes me angry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
