well true on that.

But if you are on a navy ship out at sea- you will se that virtually no crime other than theft and assault occurs out there. Even though I worked in a fairly dangerous place in the navy, I was still safer there than most major american cities.

Theft was unheard of in the old navy though. There used to be a code sailors went by. But that no longer exists. If you leave something in plain view- it's gone.

When did this change?

You can either :

1. Kill him
2. Send him on holidays to Kolyma or PyongYang
3. Explain him that war is uncool and that he'd better smoke happy grass and drink xenobrewerages.

You should remember, that while many people here are ex-military (or even current), only one of them has turned out to be MtG. The military, while it has much to offer, also takes your personality away.

Are you serious?

I think I've met more diverse personalities in the Navy then I did in college. Are you really calling me, an active duty USN sailor, devoid of personality?

(incidently, I often have mad LAN counterstrike games, and D&D adventures, does that fit your obvious view of the military?)

McVeigh didn't exactly break down. He did good in the Gulf war I heard.

Was the DC shooter in the military?

The DC shooter was a marksman during Gulf War 1. He didn't totally break down after more than 10 years later.
