Chances Mr. Limbaugh had anything to do with this is pretty slim to none - it'd be more likely he'd win the lottery than having anything to do with this horrendous act.

There are more likely reasons than Mr. Limbaugh's radio program. 4th tour of duty? Heck daily life messes my head up, let alone being in a war zone! War is traumatic for anyone. Like USArmyParatrooper said, we don't know what caused that guy to do what he did. All I know is that this is traumatic for everyone - the victims, their families, the soldier and his family, and his comrades (for want of a better word) in the Army.
