Response to Empire of Death
In Empire of Death and the Plague of Civic Violence the
author Hamamoto breaks down the types of killers that exist in the world. It
ranges from Serial Killers to Cannibals and Headhunters. Within those
categories Hamamoto explains what they are and summarizes a significant event
within that type. The one that stood out to me was the “A Few Good Men”
section. This type is about killers who were formerly part of the military and
then became murders. This section was particularly terrifying because I want to
believe that most killers out there or at least a good amount of them do not
know what they are doing and just follow what they might possibly see on tv,
but “A Few Good Men” listed a few individuals that used to be part of the
military. By being a part of the military it provided them with the sufficient
training to help me eliminate their targets and be effective at it. Knowing that
there were actual military trained killers out there makes it seem like the
government should initiate a program that follows up on ex-soldiers to prevent
things like this from happening. I know this is not possible due to the limited
funds and the large number of retired soldiers, but it could be a good program
of prevention.
Question: Do you think the government should redirect some
of its R&D funding to potential programs like the one I mentioned to help
soldiers who are in trouble from going out of control?
