I have always had a problem, even when I was in the military, with
military bases that allow ONLY the military police to be armed. This
is exactly what you get. This is not the first time this has happened
and it won't be the last. The only difference here is that the media
found out about it. Usually they don't.

So are mine.  They are also with the majority of Muslims in this country who
are good, law-abiding citizens, but who will suffer vilification because at
least one of the shooters turns out to be a Muslim.

It sounds like the shooter might have snapped after harassment because of
his backgound.

Absolutely Joy, I see that all too many were ready to jump to the wrong
conclusions some even suggesting that he must be black because it is
mostly blacks who become Muslims. This, even before any real accurate
news had been broadcast.
Moderate Muslims are suffering the most awful abuse because of the acts
of the radical and fanatical few who kill and maim in the name of their
religion.
It is the most awful tragedy.

That hasn't been reported here at all, but it did sound like he was mentally
ill. He was fearful of being shipped out, and had heard all the terrible
stuff from his patients.  He was terrified and took a very bad turn in life.

According to radio reports, he had been giving his furniture and things
away, so he was suicidal, and, maybe, took others with him.  Who knows?

Just let those in charge do the investigation and stop with your rumors of
abuse.  I doubt that would be allowed at his rank.

Not my rumors and speculations at all.  Read the news or watch it or
whatever...

He had been identified as a person with problems, of some standing. His
family is telling the news reporters, as I write this, that he didn't want
to ship out.  When he joined the military,  he wanted his medical education,
but didn't think he should serve as others did.

Geno,

Your day and mine have changed a lot of things in the military.  They
use the military to fight and support the fighters and not do mess
duty, laundry or house cleaning.  They hire civilians to that now.  I
think you'll notice that many civilians are engaged in Iraq and
Afghanistan doing construction work and the Military Engineers are
building forward operating bases like airstrips or villages for tribes
to live in.  It must go with the territory when you are fighting a war
and trying to rebuild a country at the same time.

I doubt they would be surprised...  After living with Wahabbi's for some
years, this is not so shocking as it is to others.

If you read the Qur'an, this is a matter of the religion.

The investigator's will get it right. The appearances of the Secretary of
the Military (? title) and the person in charge of the fort, it looks quite
different than what the BBC apparently has reported.  Time will tell.

The shooter is apparently intubated and paralyzed, and he might have a long
while to think about it, if he survives.

Indeed.  But noting Norma's comment about the alleged harassment not being
reported I did a google.  I certainly heard it here in Oz and  it's been
reported all round the world but fewer hits in the US than I would have
expected.

Sacha,

She was to undergo surgery this morning to have the bullets removed
from her leg, the right one I think.  Her spirits are good and of
course she is being praised for her quick response.  There are some
errors in what was reported.  She didn't retire from the Army and she
is moving back to North Carolina to be with her Husband who is in the
U.S. Special Forces.  I believe he is with her in Texas now as a
result of the shooting.
They said the shooter shot around 100 rounds in three minutes or so
and she shot four that put him down.
This is going to be a long investigation I think mainly to find out
what the trigger's were that set him off.  He was due to go to
Afghanistan but they didn't say when.  This is all from the press so
take it for what it is worth.
Did I tell you that the BBC was the first to report this incident
followed by CNN?

The unusual thing about this shooting is that it was a muslim who
carried it out, and that he was born in America.

What is inevitable is the flood of uninformed speculation about him, and
his alleged recent behaviour.
The truth will out eventually, (perhaps, but perhaps not).
