Really? You don't think that is a bit of a stretch? You think people in the White House cabinet are sitting around thinking about how theu can instill and nurture violence in people so they can have "kill bots" in the military? You've got to be joking -- that's tin foil hat stuff.
Besides, the military has a pretty straightforward program for training civilians to be soldiers, it's not this great big conspiracy as you suggest.

But armies have developed sophisticated ways of overcoming this instinctive aversion. And contemporary civilian society, particularly the media, replicates the army's conditioning techniques, and, according to Lt. Col. Dave Grossman's thesis, is responsible for our rising rate of murder among the young. Upon its initial publication, ON KILLING was hailed as a landmark study of the techniques the military uses to overcome the powerful reluctance to kill, of how killing affects soldiers, and of the societal implications of escalating violence. Now, Grossman has updated this classic work to include information on 21st-century military conflicts, recent trends in crime, suicide bombings, school shootings, and more. The result is a work certain to be relevant and important for decades to come."
