While the dramatic increase in mental illness mass murders of the post-Civil War period does not make itself very obvious after the World Wars, I do notice a lot of veterans. One had been a POW of the Japanese. Another used “his German war souvenir” pistol. I wonder what I would find if I could match service records up to these mass murderers.
War is a nasty business best avoided or fought by proxies with more at stake to justify the post-war suffering.
