Maybe we should take their guns away

Despite what the righties here may think, I don't see anything
humorous in this situation, not even "snarkily" humorous. In case you
haven't noticed, the number of service personnel coming home from
that war after extended stays and then getting involved in spouse
shootings and suicides is way up, and this incident surely is part
and parcel of that sort of emotional stress.

It is an issue the military establishment has yet to address properly.

Something like reinstate the draft? Increase the gene pool?

I have no objection to reinstating the draft, so long as the only
exemptions are for serious physical or emotional disabilities.

Are you trying to tell us that's how you got temporarily wavered from
the draft? I'd rather think you lied and cheated your way out.
