Almost everyone I've known or talked to about military service approached it as a job.  Usually in pursuit of some educational prospect.  I can think of one person who actually wanted to see combat, and he was discharged pretty much for being too dumb to live.
This was how the really smart draft dodgers got out of it back in the day. You get drafted, you show up on schedule and constantly talk about your love of death and how eager you are to kill as many people as possible, including those who are traditionally civilians.

Bam, discharged by the military and in no legal trouble.
Now? They just put them in the Marines, Haditha battalion. Hey-o!

Not much more information available right now. No confirmed injuries or fatalities yet, so that's....better than usual? Still uncaught as of the moment.

Mass shootings seem to be becoming the crime of choice in America.

Obama could stand to be more sensitive in this time of constant national tragedy. Bad show, Mr. President, Bad Show.

He's in his second term, who cares about his electability?

Sometimes I wonder why Presidents don't go batshit crazy in their second terms. They're already rich, they don't need a job after presidency, and they don't need to remain electable...

Because if he does anything to fuck up his successors chances then both sides will be calling for impeachment, and I don't think he has the political will to survive that.

I strongly suspect that it's somewhere between force of habit and a need to maintain political currency in order to actually get shit done.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

They do, from time to time. Clinton used as many pardons as he was allowed to and stole all the "W" keys in the White House at the very end of his presidency.

The keys. From all the keyboards. He stole them because the incoming president was named George W. Bush.

If the intent of this was what I think it was, that's hilarious.
