Answer

He was in the marines, and he was suffering from a brain tumor pressing against his amygdala

Step-by-step explanation:

the amygdala is what decides the emotional impact of things, he wasn't capable of thinking what he was doing was wrong basically. He was a perfectly normal human being before he got this tumor. Hope this helped!!
