Pretty crazy is right. The US needs to work on its violence problem. The US is a marshal society where killing people, as long as they are the currently officially designated people to hate and kill, makes you a hero. Even though the most recent wars were illegal wars of aggression, there were "Support the troops" signs everywhere. The local dollar store even was collecting donations to send to soldiers in the illegal wars. The US has been in a nearly constant state of war for its entire existence. It is possible to count the total years the US was at peace on one's digits[1]. The US military propagandizes our youth by paying millions to exert editorial control over content of movies[2] and video games[3]. It will cost Hollywood more to create a film critical of America's foreign policy than the DoD subsidized pro-US military propaganda, and that determines what films are made. The CIA payed American journalists to ensure the "correct" narrative[4] regarding the US violence against the rest of the world[5] was reported by the major news outlets. The American people have been fed a constant diet of propaganda with the aggrandizement of soldiers/police/lone action hero through violence. It is no wonder some people engage in violent acts (sometimes live streamed, and often using the same weapons / cosmetic look-alikes used in the propaganda) as a way to fame. And, with so many of our young people trained to kill, it is no wonder that this has caused problems when those soldiers come home.
