I'm sure that was the case. The guy killed these soldiers motivated by vengence for how the US treats Muslim Nations.
We bomb these countries, we kill their civilians, we occupy their countries, we support their dicatorships and monarchies, we make excuses for Israel's brutality, we break International Law, we torture suspected prisoners and then cover it all up.
Just today 22 CIA operatives were convicted in a Italian court in abstentia for kiddnapping and torture on an innocent man.
Violence begets violence. He who lives by the sword shall die by the sword.....These truths are timeless.
We do NOT maintain a military so that they can pet puppy dogs and spread rainbows. We maintain a military in the interest of our national defense. The military kills people and breaks things. That's their job. Get over it. You live in a mamby pamby country where it's all kumbaya and the bullies will find you.
And live by the sword die by the sword is not a universal, timeless "truth." Innocent people die every day. Bad guys who live by the sword go unpunished and run rampid.
How utterly sad, I pray for all the families affected by this. It is truly sickening the party hacks have turned it into a political debate, rather than another sad story in america.
I agree with you on all points..however you quoted my comments about Religion/Culture...How do the political discrepancies by the U.S which you just highlighted, justify an attack by ONE OF US (an AMERICAN citizen serving the govt.), ON US?
If he were from one of those countries that we have mistreated, then perhaps his discontent could be understandable. But some faux-Islamic lunatic from Virginia!? ... please.
Well they are alot more serious than "poltical discrepencies" and there is no excuse for what he did. As there is no excuse for US actions in the Middle East.
If you lived next to a foul tempered next door neighbor.
Wouldn't you at the very least want to examine on your own actions to see if you were doing anything that was unfair towards him?
It's one thing if you're minding your own business and somebody attacks you.
It's quite another when you are contributing to the cycle of violence.
Its been confirmed shooter was a doctor (psychiatrist) active duty - as said before docs can go in as Majors right when they enlist and he was scheduled to be deployed to Iraq.

Sounds just like those who justify the 9/11 attacks.
Why would an apologist for such terrorists want to continue to live in the US?

Thanks LML. The boys--I will always think of them that way even though they are soldiers--are fine. I just talked to my mom, who they are still close to. They called to check in. No more info because they had dozens of calls to make.

Grow up.
I have grown up Pops....and I'm wise enough to know War is stupid and we need to keep our nose out other Nation's business.
If we did that threats to our Nation would almost be non existent.
