How about military combat vets who were involved in killing in unspecified circumstances in the civilian world?

You should. It's a good movie. The later ones (and most especially the most recent one) are dumb action movies, but the original is pretty good.

I would trust the first group to act less erratically than the second. It's well-documented fact that getting hit in the head as much as boxers (and pro football players) do fucks you up, and makes you violent and erratic.

I guess we've got nothing left but to see whose life turns out better. You do your thing and I'll do mine and may the chips land where they do.

Hey, sorry, man. But I woke up and I gotta say, I'm just not interested in discussing the subject any more.
