Now they need to demonize them to make us all look like a bunch of gun toting gangsters.
I don't think that has anything to do with this. Gangsters join the military to learn tactics and get access to weapons/etc. I don't think these reports are being made to make all vets look bad at all.

It looks as though once again, history may be repeating itself?

they're not talking about veterans. they're talking about gangbangers like ms13 and latin kings. thugs getting military training to then go back to the street and use it in their lives of crime against law abiding citizens.

But, I'd like to suggest that history doesn't actually repeat itself, it merely echoes itself. We're probably not doing the exact same things they did in Rome, but we're probably not far away from it either.
