Sad shit
Hellraiser, I know that just because you are in the army doesn't mean you know everyone, but do you know anyone from Ft. Hood?

Truly disgusting. I heard on the radio that he was mad because he recently found out he was being transferred to the Middle East.
-
Didn't something similar happen not too long ago at another military base? Guess military bases arent even safe anymore. Didnt want to go to the middle east...why the fuck did he join the military then and make it all the way to a major?
Guess even military bases arent safe any more. Hope the rest of the soldiers are ok.

I do know people at Fort Hood. I haven't heard anything from them yet. I was actually stationed there from 98-01. That place has always been on the go. It is known as a "Rapid Deployment" station. I am sure the constant on the go type shit has gotten to some people. However, reading all that shit, I am starting to wonder about this Maj, and his motives. It is a sad day.
-
Hopefully he wakes out of coma so we can ask him politely why he did it, since we can't interrogate anymore.
-
He's awake and talking, his lawyer is a previous military judge and retired Army officer. Total death count is 13 as of now.

The news is incredibly biased. I know that there are 13 dead, however, depending on who you listen to, his motives are different. Extreme right wings say that he has links to people over in Afghanistan and that, because he was a Muslim, he must be doing it for terrorists. Other people say that he was just angry about being shipped off to fight a war that he doesn't support. Who knows what to believe these days...
Edit: My dad watches a news show called The News Hour with Jim Lehrer every weeknight. It is actually a very good, mostly non-biased news show. If anybody wanted to see it, there was a really interesting discussion about the Ft. Hood tragedy. Here is a site to access tonight's episode.
Tonight's episode won't be up until tomorrow, but it is still work a look.
