Thank you, pug. LOOK, and I normally don't SHOUT, some of us KNOW PEOPLE who are stationed at Ft. Hood. I literally have known two soldiers there since they were babies--I used to baby sit them. Have no idea if they are among the victims. PLEASE, in the name of all decency, give it a rest for a little. Maybe a couple of hours?
Hang in there Diva. I'll pray for them and for all the other troops there. Let us know if they are okay.
Not to sound like a bigot here but I think its reasonable for people here to suspect that religion and culture had something to do with the attack. Malik Nadal Hasan (the dead gunman) had allegedly expressed discontent with the wars in the Mid East..
I think it would be irrational not to consider whether religion played a role in the attacks.
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.
The suspected gunman in the Fort Hood shooting has been identified as Major Malik Nadal Hasan. He was killed and two other suspects have been apprehended, according to Army Spokesman Lt. General Robert W. Cone.
A defense official speaking on condition of anonymity to the AP says Hasan was a mental health professional — an Army psychologist or psychiatrist.
There are unconfirmed reports that Major Hasan was a convert to Islam and originally from Virginia. He was reportedly scheduled to deploy to either Iraq or Afghanistan and was unhappy about it
If you people can't see that this man was selected because of his "expertise in mental health matters" (because he's the one least likely to be suspected to go "full metal jacket") recruited to Islam and converted schooled and brainwashed into the fold and then hooked up with a couple other conspirators to ATTACK OUR MILITARY FROM THE INSIDE.

That is very disturbing if that turns out to be true.

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.
Lets not keep beating around the bush here...this was essentially a terrorist attack. Not necessarily because the men may have been Islamic, but because authorities are describing the attack as calculated, premediated, and execution style..with, of course, mass casualties.
You are correct. Very similar to the Fort Dix plot that was disrupted.

So that we don't have to fight them over here . .
Chickens roosting here?
