Why do they have to identify the suspect as a military veteran?

To cast Vets and Conservatives in a bad light.

We're all crazed killers, don't you know... and the details don't matter.

They’ve been pushing that meme since the Vietnam War. It’s just the usual media template: Spread maximum fear on as many levels as possible.

Because they consider it an aggravating factor and it exemplifies the "violent, unstable, PTSD-afflicted veteran" stereotype that the media has played up since 'Nam.

If the perpetrator of a violent crime is a veteran, it will ALWAYS be reported.
