Definitely report it to the police and keep a record of all the evidence you have of this (witnesses, voice message recordings, letters, etc.). If you can, get restraining order for you, your girlfriend, and even friends/family members if it is allowed. This is a form of harrassment, so you could possibly take him to court on criminal and maybe civil charges (get some $$$ out of the ordeal).
I wish you the best of luck.

Isn't "debriefing" suppose to help stop that? From what I've heard, and this source is sketchy, military personnel get debriefed in order to become normal members of society again after being trained for so long to be able to kill people. I don't know how strong the whole post-traumatic stress thing will work, especially since the tests that they give in court to prove his insanity are very tricky and are harder to fool than most people think (at least in my region it is).

With the military guy's training, I find it very hard to believe that a civilian would be able to shoot a military guy and kill him right away before the military guy does the same. Even if you did shoot him, unless it was in a couple of immediate-death spots, he probably has been trained well enough to run on pure adrenaline and ignore the pain.
How ya doing, buddy?
