The consequences of making the U.S. military conform to the larger society

I came upon this in today’s New York Post, a paper I still pick up occasionally, against my instincts, when I feel I need something to read:

InterContinental ‘killer’ confesses to castrating dead journalist

A male model has confessed to brutally torturing his journalist sugar daddy in a Midtown hotel for more than an hour—and then castrating him with a wine corkscrew—to get rid of “demons and a virus,” law-enforcement sources said yesterday.

I stopped reading at that point. But immediately the thought came to me that in another ten years we can expect to see a story like this:

Fort Leavenworth killer confesses to castrating dead colonel

A U.S. Army technical sergeant has confessed to brutally torturing his colonel sugar daddy at the colonel’s residence at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas for more than an hour—and then castrating him with a wine corkscrew—to get rid of “demons and a virus,” Army sources said yesterday.
