From the blog with the attached story the writer said he had no previous issues. How does the military weed out someone with “no previous issues”?
Surely they can do better than that.....

Ms. Donna “it could have happened in my family” Gundle-Krieg, the writer of that very subjective blog, has updated her “no previous issues” report with this link to an interview with one of the killer’s teachers.
Just your typical, expressionless, friendless non-performing student much occupied with violent imagery.
