the actual problem is......i don't know. i have some guesses though. but these sorts of cases don't have a stereotypical profile. have you watched "murder by proxy: how america went postal"? it profiles workplace shootings and it seems to me most all of those shooters in that doc had zero mental issues and simply lost control due to their environmental circumstances.
do soldiers in war have mental problems? no. i was watching another documentary series on wwii, in one scene, a soldier's letter home recounts how his ship sunk a japanese troop transport ship leaving ~7000 soldiers in the water and in life rafts so his skipper ordered the ship's .50 cal gunners to open fire on those 7000, killing them all. mental defectives or just following orders?
some of the other shooters i attribute to the suicide by cop sort of thinking, these shitstains probably sit on the couch all day watching tv commercials on how to cash in on injuries, honey boo boo and the kardashians, then feel sorry for themselves in a i deserve that too sort of thinking, become suicidal and want to be on television too.

If a shooter is taking out innocent people for no reason, then yes, the shooter is insane. Even if there is a reason behind it - jealousy, rage - it's fucking insane to kill another person even if you are mad at them for banging your wife or some perceived slight.
Military is a bit different. The case you mentioned is extreme, but in most cases military forces close with and fight the enemy - it's something they are trained to do, and there is a proper reason for it. But then afterwards the mental issues crop up....
