About a year ago, a fellow tennis player who had been in the US army and I were talking about how he had joined up (he's retired now and in his 60s.) He is black and came from an Eastern city not known for being wealthy. He said to me the one thing that really worried him about joining the military was that he might have to kill someone and that would make him a murderer. Just thinking about that boggles my mind. How have things gotten to the point where a young man trying to make a future for himself has to face something like that?
