Post by mainejeff »

NBC: 7 dead, 12 injured in Fort Hood shooting
No word from the military base whether the victims are military or civilians

At least seven people are dead and 12 wounded in a shooting at Fort Hood in Texas, the base's public affairs office told NBC News on Thursday.

Thanks T-Man, Z, 1990, CitadelGrad, Col., etc., etc.....another soldier back from a war started by somebody YOU support goes wacko, and another 7 people die needlessly.

Isn't going on a killing spree on a military base filled with armed, war seasoned, soldiers borderline retarded?

The shooting happened "near the soldier readiness processing center, where soldiers cycle through as they prepare to deploy," according to Sgt. Major Jamie Posten from the Fort Hood public affairs office.
ugh......that makes it sound like someone had a problem with deploying.

You're right this should be moved out of the poli board.

Just asking a question. Relax (I know, hard to do with all the coffee you drink).

Maybe we should just post everything in here, since more people will read it. :lol:

Yeah, I'm sure anti-gun people will argue that the US Army should not be armed. :roll:

Just reported on NBC that one of the suspects in custody is an Army Major with an "Arabic sounding name".

If that is true.......than they have infiltrated our military. Why conservatives have not gone after the issue of allowing the free flow of immigrants from the Middle East post 9-11 and while we are at war in that part of the world is beyond me! Instead they go after the Mexicans picking lettuce and strawberries in the fields of So Cal. :roll: :roll: :roll:
