“Why didn’t hundreds of thousands of vets from Korea , WW2 and Vietnam shoot up society? Why is only vets from the last twenty years or so?”
I have an opinion on that,and it’s just MY opinion.
Men from those older wars could come home and be MEN——and get men’s jobs——fire,police,cablemen,etc———before the dreaded feminist movement reared it’s ugly head-—(and I AM a woman).
Younger men just don’t have the same “macho” aspirations,and are being constantly told that women can do anything that they can do-——and it leads to frustration and the inability to handle stress the way that older men could.
As I said,just my opinion——and probably all wrong.:-)

Sebastian Junger has a similar take on the issues. He has a couple of good Ted Talks that are on YouTube.
