Yes, eleven incidents in twenty-five years deserves scrutiny.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the veterans listed in the slide show were deployed to war, but most weren&#8217;t. The ones who did deploy weren&#8217;t in military occupational specialties that would have trained them in their nefarious endeavors.<\/p>\n<p>They include Nidal Hasan without mentioning that he was actually a terrorist on a jihad at Fort Hood, Texas on November 5, 2009. In fact I wonder if they have a slide show for folks that singles out mass shooters of the jihadist variety.<\/p>\n<p>The list includes Micah Johnson, who even the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2016\/07\/10\/us\/dallas-quiet-after-police-shooting-but-protests-flare-elsewhere.html\">New York Times<\/a> admits &#8220;had an affinity for Black Power organizations&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Wade Michael Page was dishonorably discharged for being a racist more than ten years before his crime, but he makes the list for shooting Sikhs at their temple. Aaron Alexis, the Navy Yard shooter is on the list, but he had his military career cut short because of his mental problems, again several years before he committed his act.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, eleven incidents in twenty-five years is not an epidemic &#8211; nothing more than click-bait for low-information voters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NBC4 New York City took the opportunity that Esteban Santiago, a Puerto Rico National Guardsman, shot &hellip; <a title=\"NBC New York; Veteran and Active Duty Shooter Incidents\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=69726\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">NBC New York; Veteran and Active Duty Shooter Incidents<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[226],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-69726","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-veterans-in-the-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69726","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=69726"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69726\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=69726"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=69726"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=69726"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
