Many lesser known serial killers have been vets of the war. I don’t know if they have been proven to actually fight in it. But it doesn’t matter because when all your buddies brag about raping some woman or burning down a village because he felt insulted, you normalize that forever.
We don’t really see a serial killer phenomenon with the war on terror. But we do see a mass shooter phenomenon. Again, it’s the propaganda, dehumanization, and sanitization of violence.
This is completely speculation on my part, but I think there is a serial killer phenomenon in the war on terror. It’s just not as visible in the imperial core because for the last 20 years you could sign up to a voluntary military and then go on a spree of whatever depravity you desired and it would be covered up or ignored
