I have never linked this kind of an event to the perpertrator's occupation as an influencing factor in why they did it. For example, we had our infamous Green River Killer here in the Pacific Northwest who murdered dozens of women over the course of a decade or more. He was a truck painter. Is that related or significant in any way? Probably not. So while this was a horrible tragedy, I dissagree that it was any more of an "event" just because he was a Marine.

Because of their training the Marine can make it an event. Such as DC sniper, JFK, OKC, Bell tower sniper.
The average joe can't level this much destruction. A marine with a butter knife can do more damage than a redneck with a M16.
