2. The reason for this incident...
in my opinion is a failure of leadership from top to bottom, and when I say top, I mean the Commander-in-Chief, who has failed us and our military on such a profound level, it's mind-boggling.

As for the "ethics and values" training, it's total bullshit. Do we have to explain to people that cold-blooded murder is wrong? Do we have to explain that you don't kill innocent children out of revenge?

It is so obvious that this situation is completely out of hand. There is no "winning" this thing. It's only going to get worse. My gut feeling is that there are probably dozens or more of incidents that have occurred similar to this one, but have yet to be uncovered.

There is no question that stress and psychological trauma are contributing factors to the chaos that is unfolding.

What a sad chapter of history we are living in.
