Just goes to show you the level of stress these soldiers are under.

My prayers go out to the victims families.

They're not necessarily soldiers, just guys in uniform.

Agreed.

[Jerhart]

12 Dead and 31 wounded as of now...

Nevermind.

True.

I would expect them to be soldiers though.

The amount of security you go through to get on an army base is nuts sometimes.

Agreed.

They just had a press conference and said that the one shooter shot and killed was a soldier. 2 other soldiers have been taken in as suspects.

The shooter was apparently an Army Major, and some type of mental health professional at that. He was being deployed, and was upset about it. Yeah, well buddy, join the club.

I have no problem with people that can't take it anymore and end their own lives, but when you take other people out with you, you're just a disgrace What really sucks is that the shooting took place at a deployment processing center which handles both those outprocessing to deploy and those inprocessing upon their returns, which means there's a good chance that at least some of the injured/killed were people that had come back from deployment and were getting ready to finally enjoy some time with their families.

My thoughts are with the injured and the families. May whatever spirit of good that exists in this world help them through this difficult time.

He was also a muslim who supported suicide bombers and said they where not commiting suicide but dying for a just cause.... yeah he belonged in the army. Should have been hung.

Big Gunns doubts he really said this and was able to stay in the army. This sounds like media "sensationalism" to Big Gunns.
