性视界传媒

性视界传媒淚 need to cleanse my mind of the brothers I性视界传媒檝e lost,性视界传媒� Army Master Sgt. Matthew Alan Livelsberger allegedly wrote in an explanatory note on his phone before shooting himself inside a Tesla Cybertruck packed with fireworks and gas tanks set to detonate outside a Las Vegas casino, 性视界传媒渁nd relieve myself of the burden of the lives I took.性视界传媒�

I say 性视界传媒渁llegedly性视界传媒� because, as is often the case, we性视界传媒檙e only getting details and versions of the story that the government and its law enforcement agencies choose to release. Those details and versions are at best incomplete and at worst not necessarily true. But I consider that particular sentence the elephant in the room.

The rest of the released content indicates a kind of fuzzy political motive, but Livelsberger性视界传媒檚 personal life and mental health also seem to have been unraveling in various ways leading up to the incident.

Yes, incident 性视界传媒� not, really, an 性视界传媒渁ttack.性视界传媒� Based on what性视界传媒檚 been publicly released about his Special Forces experience and skill set, if he性视界传媒檇 wanted to create a true mass casualty event, he wouldn性视界传媒檛 likely have ended up killing only himself (and inflicting allegedly minor injuries on seven others).

While the whole thing clearly didn性视界传媒檛 amount to a 性视界传媒渃ry for help性视界传媒� 性视界传媒� he no longer needs, or could use, help 性视界传媒� it was definitely a cry of some kind rather than an attempt to kill others.

Back to that elephant in the room: More than one in four American 性视界传媒渕ass shooters性视界传媒� come from military backgrounds, while only 7% or so of the general population has that kind of experience and training.

On the same weekend as the Las Vegas explosion, Army veteran Shamsud-Din Jabbar killed 14 and injured dozens in a New Orleans rampage using a truck.

Timothy McVeigh received the Bronze Star as a Bradley Fighting Vehicle gunner in Desert Storm before going on to commit the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.

Does military 性视界传媒渟ervice性视界传媒� make one more likely to engage in violent conduct?

Or does a proclivity for such conduct cause future mass shooters to seek out such 性视界传媒渟ervice?性视界传媒�

Maybe it性视界传媒檚 a bit of both. Maybe there are other factors. But the correlation seems strong enough to believe there性视界传媒檚 a connection of some kind.

While the whole subject is likely too complex to admit of simple solutions, the problem can clearly at least be reduced at one end 性视界传媒� by creating fewer people who find themselves mentally twisted and morally haunted by the experience of killing other people.

Preferably, none of those people at all.

But even just adopting a sane foreign policy that doesn性视界传媒檛 entail decades of needless war without end, and significantly cutting the head count of the U.S. armed forces to match, would be a good start.
