Indeed. As could being a police officer?

There's a reason: racism.

In the case of the Dallas shooter the authority figures in the military booted him from the service. Could you see a person having issues with authority figures then?

I know a few who I would classify as weak-minded. I feel if they were put in a stress situation like dealing with an aggressive person, they would go overboard.

Haven't looked at his conduct while he was in the military to discern whether it was honorable or dishonorable, although I can probably guess.

It was honorable which his friends called a cop out on the part of the military. From what I've read I agree.

From what his friends have said is that if it had been dishonorable based upon mental health issues the military is required to get a person follow up help. If what he did (he was in possession of a pair of womens underwear the person said she did not give him) wasn't acceptable how do you boot someone honorably?

His friends did not want to see him get a dishonorable discharge, they just wanted to see him get the help they felt he needed and that they believe the military simply ignored.

Unfortunately this is common with the military especially the Army. They are more than happy to make certain issues go away especially if it embarrassing

Maybe, possibly these people(white and black) are victims of mind control and are being influenced subliminally through the media. Music, digital video, computer games. That might be fueling the violence and hatred and racial paranoia. Stir up the masses, get them to go crazy and be at each other throats and then everybody will be begging for a police state to feel safe. Of course, you'd have to disarm them first.
I guess this will be Obama's legacy, cops being ambushed and slain and his desired resurgence of racism and bigotry.

>>>> But now tranvestism is getting the green light in the military so he may have been able to get that dishonorable discharge reversed.

That wasn't the issue as to why he had them.
