It is easy to assume that anyone who volunteers to go into the military
knows there is a good chance they could end up dead or worse, but
if you look at the ads I see for the US Army and such, combat is not
the main focus.

I am sure you have already set this up to devolve into some kind of
liberal propaganda campaign by the media and I am not getting sucked
into it. I am just bothered - and I don't give a sh*t if it happened to
one recruiting station or 1000 - that the military would do that to a
group of people who did serve their country. But then again, look at
how they kept their prestigious hospital in Washington, DC. How
"isolated" do these types of things have to be before it is considered
okay by everyone?

And personally I don't buy that it only happens in Houston, or that it
will ever stop. The US military doesn't care so long as they get their
share of cannon fodder and the economy will of course help probably
just this short of a draft.
