My point is that both groups have murder on their mind much more than the average person and that is apples and apples. Most people know a few ex military guys who are clearly messed up in the head, paranoid, etc. I'm grateful for their service, but I think seeing death overseas changes who you are, that's clear. PTSD is sad, but isn't it scary that we have millions of American soldiers here with mental impairments that make them more prone to violence?
People are okay targeting Muslims, but saying it about an ex military member is sacrilege?
So, we should encourage people to join the military, roll commercials, send recruiters to high schools, promise them great benefits, like schooling, train them to be killers, send them a world away, tell them it's okay to kill, have them come home messed up and spy on them, maybe lock them up if they seem dangerous without actually committing a crime?
I don't know, I think some real well funded programs to help them adjust to civilian life, good hospitals and mental health care for our veterans would be nice. But, we can just shit on them.
I draw the difference between islamic terrorists and veterans with the fact one is purely ideological and the other typically stems from things like PTSD, poverty and all the other things that come with the failure of re-assimilating into society. Not a lot of veterans shoot their dads in a fit of rage to send a message to the world.
Guys like Omar Mateen, Syed Farook and the Tsarnaev brothers weren't targeted and under surveillance because they were simply Muslims, they all had done similar things to raise warning. It kind of helps when you see people associating with or pledging allegiance to known foreign terrorist organizations that target the US.
