“Soldiers and other killers for hire in Iraq and Afghanistan are carefully trained to stop thinking of their targets as human beings. Otherwise they’ll flinch and hesitate when they need to kill. ‘If you ask yourself, ‘did he kiss his kids goodbye this morning,’ you’re through,’ I remember one sniper saying. And I remember this one, too: ‘Sorry, The chick got in the way.’ Many LAPD and other police force members are veterans of those wars. Do you think they can forget that training? Turn it off like a switch? The LAPD-Dorner case has proven that they can’t.”
