Understanding the New Orleans Terror Attack

A recent terror attack in New Orleans involved an Army veteran, Shamsha Din Jabbar, who drove a truck into a crowd on Bourbon Street. His military background, including receiving the Global War on Terrorism Medal, raises concerns about the common trend of ex-military individuals committing mass atrocities in the U.S. This trend has historical examples, such as the Fort Hood shooting and the University of Texas tower shooting. A discussion on the societal implications of reintegrating military personnel into civilian life reveals the recurring issue of violence among those who have served.
