Yep.. see my first post.

He was also a Mental Health Professional and was stationed at Walter Reed Army Hospital before being transferred to Ft Hood.

I have a feeling that there's going to turn out to be a heavily complex story behind all of this.

Plus one can't help but notice the Arabic name of the shooter. Whether this is an incident of terror or not, you sure as hell know that there were plenty of people out there thinking "that figures" when they heard the shooter was a man named Nidal Malik Hasan. That will surely serve to, in some extent, plant the seeds of distrust in the minds of those serving with Arabic comrades.

Aye, particularly so soon after what happened with our lads and that Afghan policeman.

Apparantly the suspect is alive.

I suspect not for long, as military justice will likely put him down like the animal he is.

I missed Obama's speech about what happened, and after looking it up on YouTube, maybe I shouldn't have.

I seriously hope the shooter is not of Muslim faith. The last thing we need is another run of racism and hatred in this nation. This could be very very bad for relations.
