Hundreds of Americans have lost their minds and used guns to cause multiple deaths. One thing unites almost all of them: military training.
Mr. Muhammad served in the Persian Gulf war, as did Timothy McVeigh, the Oklahoma City bomber. Both received weapons training and basic military training designed to psychologically condition soldiers to kill. They are far from alone.
Serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer received military training in Texas and Alabama. David Berkowitz, the “Son of Sam” killer, was an army veteran. Charles Whitman, who killed 16 people and injured 31 in a 1961 sniper-shooting rampage from the top of a tower in Austin, Tex., had just been discharged from the U.S. Marines. Arthur Shawcross, who killed 12 people, was a Vietnam veteran.
So this is what the great USA makes when they send young men into the military. What a great record. This is puke poor and you know it.
For everyone you cited there are more that did not have military training. You need to learn how to draw conclusions based on all the evidence not just cherry picking.
Look, a USA hater, how quaint.
Notice he neglects to mention the tens of thousands of police officers protecting society every day who were originally trained in the military…
I can give you many more examples of construction workers who were killers, than you can give of former military washouts…
But if it makes you sleep better at night to blame all of your troubles on the USA, then good for you.
McVeigh, like oswald, and Bin-Laden are just patsys.
The Clinton Admin. and the CIA orchastrated the OK City bombing.
There are mountains of evidence showing that government officials were behind OK City.
People really need to stop believing everything they hear and see in the mainstream media!
The same thing happened on 9/11!!!
They also all drank milk as kids. Does that mean that drinking milk will turn you into a serial killer?
You state that “almost all of them” have military training. Please site your source for this claim. If there are hundreds of mass murderers, noting four that had military training is not “almost all” – it’s a fraction of a percent.
Ok you named a few people…now lets look at how many people went in the military in the last 40 years,lets go back to your oldest person from 1961. lets see how many murderers drove a chevy car….lets see how many murderers left the toilet seat up…This has nothing to do with military training. I served proudly for 10 years and you are the first person i thought about killing all day
Oh that’s very intelligent, based on high profile murder cases you can assume that all those with military training ending up killing people because they go crazy. Hmm. Checks the facts, the WHOLE of the facts and look into actual murderers sitting in prison you might find that most do not have military training of any sort. Check all the records of ALL men and women who have been in the military and see how many of them turned to a life of crime afterwards. I mean seriously you named 5 people! FIVE. Out of all the murders that have happened in this country you picked five of them and you assume that any man/woman with military training will do the same. You have a very judgemental and narrow view of the world.
What else did you expect.
They are trained (brainwashed) by the military to be killers and for it not to bother them. Did you really expect them to become unbrainwashed when they are discharged?
My ex-father in law was a covert op seal running around Vietnam after 1974 springing POW that “did not exist”. Now the man attacks and intimidates pretty much anyone he doesn’t like. Just another government trained psychopath that hasn’t killed anyone here yet..
WILL YOU PLEASE GET A LIFE !!!
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? Did a Military man take your wife or girlfriend from you? Or is it your a coward and have to put down our troops to make yourself feel better.
It makes me sick knowing I had family members die for your right to say stupid things and knowing my son is in the Marines ready to die anytime to protect your butt.
So please grow up and get a life outside this computer.
nope i am not ashamed because out of the hundreds of thousands who are serving how many will actually commit these acts? hmmm……………prob not as many as normal american citizens who are just out there plotting today to kill their cheating husband or wife or just kill because. i think you picked out a few isolated cases and are trying to make a case out of nothing, just my opinion though.
I think this site makes you feel confident making stupid accusations that you would be afriad to make in person. I also think you are only doing this for attention, and to tick people off. Your a coward dude, so you attack what you wish you were. The draw back is that you will never have guts to stand up and protect the right that you have been given to say these idiotic things. You spout the crap out while being protected by your computer. I am so happy that you enjoy the freedom of speach that we have give to you. Please remember that with that right also come the responsibily of knowing when to shut the hell up.
You’re welcome, you hate us so much but use the gift we have given you. You’re welcome for the freedom and the right to be a dumbass. I have protected that right for you, as a gift, because I know that you will never be brave enough to protect that right yourself.
Sorry you moronic liar, but you leave out a couple points.
There was a time when even cowards like you were drafted so ALL men served in the military.
So that eliminate Berkowitz, Whitman, and Shawcross.
Jeffery Dahmer was weeded out by being dishonorably discharged before he ever served in a military unit.
You, sir are a f*cking moron and that’s about as polite as I can put it. You cite six, but how many millions of Americans served in the military who aren’t serial killers.
You’re a left wing anti American butthead who has nothing better to do than dishonor the memories of those soldiers who DIED so you spout off this sh*t. You need a swift kick inh the nether regions.
Go join the Taliban.
What’s the matter, did you try to get in the military but were rejected? McVeigh used fertilizer, not guns. Jeffrey Dalhmer used knives and ropes (no guns) And yes, I, along with the millions that are rescued by the US military WORLDWIDE (Katrina, Tsunami, earthquakes, typhoons, etc….) are grateful and do LOVE the US military. You seem so sad and angry. I pity you.
Sorry liberal supporter, your facts are in error. For every person you decided to list, there are over a hundred thousand that have served honorably and faithfully without incident.
What are you gonna say, that the college football players who are accused of rape, do it because they went to college?
Yes, this country has its problem like any other country. So sip your import beer, flaunt your choice of lifestyle and hang around with your loser friends. This country lets you do that because the soldiers you criticize ensure your freedom to do so.
Gosh, I served in the US Army nearly 30 years ago and I haven’t had a single urge or thought about using a gun to cause multiple deaths. Did they forget to teach me something or was I sick the day they had the class on becoming a serial killer? Does anyone know if they are offering a make up class? Hey, maybe they are combining it with the class on how to become a suicide bomber in the middle-East?
i f you are so anti military why not move to a country without one and try feeling safe there. i stand behind our military, you have no idea what it is to serve and defend this country. no one is forced into the military…they all join b/c they have one thing in common, which is to serve and protect fully knowing that they may have to make the ultimate sacrifice. don’t you get that?
You listed six people to support your argument. Now compare that to the MILLIONS who have served and maybe you’ll realize that serial killing from veterans is statistically neglible.
what is your point? ill take my two points now
How many murders were committed in NYC this past month and how many of those were by ex-military personnel?
