13. Well, I guess that's a way of getting rid of excess young men that he's suggesting.

Because you certainly don't want that kind of "warrior-man" back in the States unable to function in a civilian life interacting with average people going about a quiet daily routine.
He is saying he wants stunted man-boy psychos in the military - "killology" graduates that can carelessly justify shooting six-year olds and rape of females who don't "respect" them.
He used to play this "support our homeless vet patriots" locally, but he has never really seen soldiers and sailors as real people and never really cared about what made them unable to function or addressed the problems that are part of the military in the first place.
And the BS about always pregnant military females - oye. I've seen studies in the 90's where females are less likely to miss duty or deployments than young males for sick call issues over a 4 year enlistment, even taking into account issues with menstruation or pregnancy.
More young men call in sick due to alcohol, parties or other young man foolishness than the same percentage of young women for any reason whatsoever. And those young men typically have chronic issues by the time they hit the end of their enlistment, basically wasting whatever training the military invested in them. And these are the guys Kelly wants in society after a stint in the military? Or is he talking about making young men who aren't already set for life disposable?
