Post-war murder syndrome?

In Ft. Bragg, North Carolina, there have been 2 murders and 2 murder/suicides by soldiers of the US Special Forces within the past six weeks. Each case involved the murder of a military wife at the hands of her husband. Can this be what happens when you spend years molding men into cold-blooded killing machines, human weapons? Once you pass the point of justifying the taking of human life for purposes of war doesn’t that make it easier to justify it further? The Army wants to make sure we understand that this is an anomaly. Any bloodthirst is, of course, channeled cleanly toward enemies of the United States.
