For all you super patriots who refuse to believe that veterans are capable of violence to the public, another one bites the dust.

Re: Another violent veteran
Everyone is capable of violence. Why point him out as being a vet? Are vets more prone to violence than say postal workers? Where did the term "going postal" or "went postal" come from?

Re: Another violent veteran
The point is that you super patriots ridiculed and scoffed and called the Secretary of Homeland security for saying that some veterans are capable of causing much violence because of their war time training and experience. I pointed him out as a vet because that is what he is and the national news pointed it first. The term going postal started about 20 years or more ago because so many postal workers took out their anger and frustration with a gun and some stupid jerk rightwinger decided it would be funny to start applying the term to anyone who lost it with a gun.

Re: Another violent veteran
Why would you suggest that the term "going postal" was generated by a "stupid right winger"?????
The gal that told me what the term meant 15 years ago or so was a post office worker, and definately not a republican.

Re: Another violent veteran
Why does the government single them out?
