He was a war vet who surely was influenced by the crap he must have endured in the Middle East. When you are fighting an enemy who dresses like all the civilians, or when a teen ager comes toward you smiling then blows him/her self up it makes fighting that kind of war bend your mind out of shape. Stating the he was this or he was that is pure goddam conjecture,
