Does more war lead to (post-bellum)

[Ilsa]

1) more insurrection at home
2) more white supremacists and other hate groups rising
3) more trigger-happy police targeting minorities
4) more other bad shit

It seems like once we have soldiers coming home from war, all kinds of bad societal shit follows.

1. I think the military attracts those types, don't think military or wars turn them

into white supremacists, bullies, trigger happy, etc. Most were like that.

That’s not saying all, or even over half, are like that. But a lot are. Police departments give these people special consideration because they too often view intimidation as policing.

For a lot of reasons, we’d obviously be better off without wars.

3. i think "those types" are bred and dehumanized for a generation ante bellum

the "baby boomer" were bred in large numbers and conditioned to violence for a planned conquest of china. it was not the brightest plan, and our failure in indochina left the survivors unwanted and unnecessary.

2. History shows that there's no doubt about it.
