Lt Col David Grossman www.killogy.com has been saying for YEARS that TV violence is training our kids to kill. That the military use similar training techniques to train troops.

I don't understand the point you are trying to make.
I agree the level of violence on TV and in the movies is way out of control (reason I don't watch much of the first, or go out to the second).
What I don't understand is your bringing the military into the discussion. I don't remember receiving any such training. But then again, Isn't it the job of the military to kill people and break things?

Funny, when I was a tyke, I learned that killing bad guys and evildoers was a pretty
good thing after watching too many episodes of "Bonanza" and the like.
Despite living in a house with two shotguns and a rifle, I never even considered
shooting anyone.
I guess the problem today is that the kids get a lot trashier kind of violence and moral
consequence is not tied to the use of force.
