This story is one more incredible and shocking tale that is not unexpected considering the effects of war and our military's recent desperation for recruiting soldiers to train for war. With all the psychological  assessment tools available to the military one would think that they would want to screen for certain pathological types. Recently they've come out saying that now that the wars are winding down, they are raising their recruiting standards. Of course, it may be more complex and insidious that that. There has been a rise in the number of homicides and suicides of returning soldiers and then there's the case of the military psychiatrist who recently killed a bunch of fellow soldiers. With all the recent mass shootings, I'm afraid that this all points to a deep sickness in this society.

Pauley said Aguigui funded the militia using $500,000 in insurance and benefit payments from the death of his pregnant wife a year ago. Aguigui was not charged in his wife's death, but Pauley told the judge her death was "highly suspicious."
She said Aguigui used the money to buy $87,000 worth of semiautomatic assault rifles, other guns and bomb components that were recovered from the accused soldiers' homes and from a storage locker. He also used the insurance payments to buy land for his militia group in Washington state, Pauley said.
In a videotaped interview with military investigators, Pauley said, Aguigui called himself "the nicest cold-blooded murderer you will ever meet." He used the Army to recruit militia members, who wore distinctive tattoos that resemble an anarchy symbol, she said. Prosecutors say they have no idea how many members belong to the group.
"All members of the group were on active-duty or were former members of the military," Pauley said. "He targeted soldiers who were in trouble or disillusioned."
The prosecutor said the militia group had big plans. It plotted to take over Fort Stewart by seizing its ammunition control point and talked of bombing the Forsyth Park fountain in nearby Savannah, she said. In Washington state, she added, the group plotted to bomb a dam and poison the state's apple crop. Ultimately, prosecutors said, the militia's goal was to overthrow the government and assassinate the president.

Right-wing militias and ex-military members have been playing hobby politics since Clinton was elected way back in 1992.  Other than the questionable Oklahoma City bombing of Murrah, these douchbags haven't managed to accomplish squat.

What a waste of energy.

I wonder what those guys would have done if they had succeeded.
