Sniper

[Max B. Sawicky]

I think that stereotypes of the military's effect
on individuals, or of the personality of those
drawn to the military, are not informative of
why people go off the deep end.

For one thing, I doubt the stereotypes are
true even as rough generalizations.  For
two, cases like this are so singular as to
defy the relevance of such general factors.

It may be frustrating, but the truth IMO is
that we will never know why Tim McV did what
he did, and we may never get far inside the
heads of these guys either.

Are you here objecting to specific explanations, or any attempt to portray 
Muhammad's killing spree as somehow linked to his military past?
