There's no mention, so far as I recall, of McVeigh's military career. The vexed matter of whether McVeigh failed physical or psychiatric tests in his effort to join the Green Berets is similarly undiscussed. I suspect the US Army put up the failure of a psychiatric test as a piece of ex post facto justification to show it screens out dangerous terrorists. The photographs of McVeigh outside the Branch Davidian compound near Waco during the siege are also nowhere to be found, though they advertise McVeigh's prime stated motivation, to strike back at the federal government that killed over 80 civilians including 24 children. For good or ill, it teaches the whole people by its example.
Crime is contagious.
If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for the law. There is a large map of the United States in the exhibit rooms. California offered me 15, starting with a bombing by the E.L.F. in Davis. Maybe there's more about McVeigh in the filing cabinets of the Memorial Center Archives, or in the Institute for the Prevention of Terrorism, overseen by a retired state- terrorist, General Dennis Reimer, former chief of staff of the US Army. Maybe Reimer's staff are preparing new computer maps that will assist in the prevention of terrorist acts.
