I head at least three shot one dead. I hope it's just a mistaken early report.

One thing we know, Fort Hood has another active shooter situation. It's one of the most deployed, if not the most deployed bases in the country. They're bound to see a disproportionate number of PTSD.

Very true. Even if you support a smaller, less aggressive military - as I do - you can't expect nomorenomore08 Apr 2014 #40

Of course I expect members of the military not to kill fellow members of the armed forces onenote Apr 2014 #50

Obviously the vast majority manage not to do so. But I'm still not shocked when it happens. n/t nomorenomore08 Apr 2014 #57

I guess when people are trained to kill, not all of them are able to compartmentalize that. nomorenomore08 Apr 2014 #59
