I expect that if you tell me how combat in Iraq is making people do bad things that you actually have been in combat or at least in Iraq. Otherwise, write an article about how mean people get after boot camp.
BTW-I asked my neighbor, a Vietnam vet what he thought about boot camp grads suffering enough "hardening" effect from camp that it was tantamount to actually being in combat (the writer explained the incident as occurring after being in Iraq). He just laughed in an eerie way. I think that means he disagrees with you. You don't want to pull your little $3 offer with him, for sure. Something tells me he doesn't find Kubrick a persuasive source on this issue. I'm just saying.
