What are your views on gun rights?

Why are you discriminating soley against combat vets. And what is an example of a "trigger" or symptom of PTSD that could 'set off' a veteran?

I'm asking because you sound like you are tailoring your question to get a specific answer. I'm curious if you are actually educated on the issue, or if you have some research showing combat veterans are more likely to be "triggered" into violent action.

The way the questions are worded, it definitely seems as OP is fishing for an answer to fit his agenda. IMO

Fuck your downvotes man. People on reddit love to yell from the rooftops how the US sucks, or the military is just feeding the "military-industrial complex. Honestly, they probably don't know more about it than the Wikipedia article states.

Thank you for your support and for your love of this country.

Please don't subtly impose your view to make it seem that only enlightened people share it. Of course there are questionable motives in most forms of politics, especially with war being a means of foreign policy.

While war has made many men rich, it has also deposed some horrible regimes that have no place in the civilized world.

Just going over this century, WWI and WW2 were fought to stave off expansionist neighbors and to protect allies from aggression. Korea and Vietnam were fought as ideological struggles against the two global powers. The motivations for the Iraq War, whole muddled, still removed a dictator who tortured and gassed his own civilians. Honestly, if you wanted to make an Anti-Iraq war case you should argue that Israel provided faulty intel and pressured the US. There is no evidence to support the "blood for oil" byline however.

People like to cite the US' so-called "military industrial complex." If those people looked back on their own European history, they would see a much darker, far more muddled, and darker history than they like to push onto the US.
