It’s the system that produces a restricted rules of engagement and a general fear of punishment if you do something wildly out of line and a strong Management that induces discipline and restraint. If you take one crazy guy out of that system and then hand him a gun and tell him that he can do whatever he wants with full immunity then you don’t get restraint.

There are plenty of shit bags in the service. There are plenty of fantastic people too. The military is a great representation of all proletariats.

So what?
