You could be right; a lot of good people came back from combat with shifted personalities. At the same time, the Armed Forces of every nation is representative of general populations. They have bullies, cowards, heroes, triers and every other type of person.
There's as much chance this guy was an ass when he signed up as he was made one under fire.
Based only on this snapshot of that one guy, he looks like a plain old bully. Quick to aggression, fast to violence and well-versed in threatening people.

. . . uhhhh . . . including the stupidity
involved with failing to realize the inherent evil forces and entities involved with Pokeman.
No. I don't care to elaborate. But the info is available.

1. I didn't talk about banning anything or forceably controlling such things. I think individual choice and responsibility are important free-will options.
2. I do think that folks responsible for spreading such forces and entities will bear a horrific weight ultimately.
3. I did not say Pokeman was merely non-Christian.
4. I asserted that Pokeman has to do with evil forces and entities.
5. I did not yet add that such evil forces and entities are awash in our culture from a number of directions with a list of memes, "make-believe" entities, icons, personages etc.
6. Such forces ALWAYS have destructive consequences in the lives of the individuals--attached--to them as well as in the culture collectively.
Time will tell.
