i agree with the people that are expressing outrage, but there's a bit of privilege in the argument and it's producing a touch of circular logic. "why not wait to have children?". for most military families, the military is the only option they have to generate enough income to raise a family. it's the only way they can afford a house and the only way they can afford to go to school. now, it's true that, by the time they're done training, they're stripped of compassion and converted into subhuman monsters that cannot be deconditioned properly and ought to not be anywhere near children in the first place, but what drives somebody to stand up and consciously make this decision, to stand in front of their families and state "i aspire to murder in cold blood", is generally the level of desperation that is brought on by the extreme levels of poverty and inequality that exist in america.

america's leaders are bloodthirsty tyrants, the bulk of whom deserve to be strung from lampposts and spit upon like the fascist scum that they are. but, the soldiers are mostly victims of a system that creates them and gives them few other options to live a life of prosperity.

that doesn't mean they should be allowed to reintegrate. that child should have been taken away from these lunatics, placed in protective services and put up for adoption. mom should be banished to an island...
