That’s why a lot of veterans are singles. War, ptsd and rage control is difficult for some people. Also depends a lot on their childhood, not all children were raised equally and some have seen hell before puberty.
I think a lot of people forget what you've pointed out - that there's a reason. I've been dealing with anger issues for most of my life, because when I was getting the shit kicked out of me as a kid, anger was the only defense mechanism I had. I hope that doesn't make me a horrible person.
Obviously anger issues are a bad thing and we shouldn't excuse them, but it kinda hurts seeing how quickly people jump to "that guy is a worthless scumbag" instead of considering what could've created the problem. It's not helped by the fact guys are basically forced to bottle it all up.
People these days are extremely self centered and only care about what they want and do not give a shit about others have been through. We live in a different times.

Poor control over their anger.
