My Theory is Valid!
In the news today there was a follow up report about the soldier who killed five fellow troops in Iraq. The father of the shooter alleged that military officials questioned him, making him "crack" and thus he "snapped" under the pressure. If you read the article (at stltoday.com) it also reports this person had a history of violent behavior and that there had been an order of protection against him that his former wife filed. It also reports that he had a few minor problems with law enforcement prior to enlisting. So lets add a prior history of violence with the horrors and trauma of war. That does not equal someone snapping in my view. This person had issues long before this incident. It does not excuse his behavior, but may provide for one explanation as to how tragic things of this nature happen.
