Ted Turner, media mogul and the founder of CNN, told a CNN news show anchor during an Oct. 24, 2012 interview that military suicides are “good.”

“I think it’s good because it’s so clear that we are programmed — and we’re born to love and help each other, not to kill each other, destroy each other,” the media mogul said. “That’s an aberration, that’s left over from hundreds of years ago. It’s time for us to start acting enlightened.”
