    a heavy vehicle driver for the US military

    That’s an odd way to describe a soldier. It’s not really surprising when violent people do violent things.

      I’m not sure that’s necessarily true. There are plenty of military contractors out there, and a driver is the kind of position you would expect to be likely contracted out. That in no way makes one a soldier.

      Plenty of contracting orgs do driving for the military. You don’t need a soldier, you need a trucker, so why use soldiers?
