Is dog red meat?
High school and college football players, Marine basic trainees and Navy SEALs can get away with eating a couple of half-pound double-cheese, double-patty burgers a day. When they go on to other things and get to be thirty-somethings, it's another matter. If they keep it up into their forties, quite a few of them won't make it to their sixties. Age and how much strenuous exercise a person does matters big time in how much meat is safe to eat. Especially how much red meat.
"And what exactly do they do at a military base? They sure don't teach knitting."
They sure don't teach cold-blooded murder of civilians, or any violence against noncombatants.
Since you're evidently not familiar with military bases, God help anyone caught pulling a knife or gun on someone on one of them. Carry a concealed weapon and get caught with it, you're chipped beef on toast the next morning — or wish you could be. No civilian community in the country regulates weapons as rigorously as the typical military base does. Punishment for misuse of a weapon is usually swift and severe.
Violence without weapons isn't tolerated either. A troop who gets into a fight on a military base is many times more likely to suffer serious consequences than a civilian who does the same thing in a nearby community. If one troop busts up another so the victim can't work, the one who did the busting can end up having to pay for medical care and for the victim's lost duty days, along with getting busted down to nothing and spending lots of time in the stockade, or getting a dishonorable discharge and federal prison sentence.
The guy who did that killing in Afghanistan lost his mind. He committed an unspeakable crime. He's not typical of our soldiers, any more than Jared Loughner is a typical citizen.
Unfortunately our vetting process for the U.S. military isn't all it's cracked up to be. In this area alone we've had soldiers: Chop up their estranged wives, rob banks, hold hostages and a host of other morbid acts. And with troops doing 5 and 6 tours in a war zone I expect we'll see more of this here when the wars are finished.
Troops have always gone nuts and done terrible things, we just have better media now so hear about it more often.
Fights in on base bars when I was in the Navy was common, but was broke up fast.
It is common for Russian Orthodox women (and men) to wear a small crucifix or something similar around their neck from baptism onwards. Tanya wears a small silver Madonna and child icon. Mostly you never see these necklaces, they are worn under not over. I'd sure too if that caused problems.
