Shooter, Wade Page, was Army vet, white supremacist

[MADem]

24. He was a frigging recruit assigned to a unit. Do you know what he did there?

In Clinton's peacetime Army?

Please. For all you know he could have been the supply clerk for the unit.

This is the kind of shit that is embarrassing to read on this site; this outdated "babykiller" assumption that is implied.

My initial assignments weren't in the area/speciality where I eventually ended up. It happens--a LOT. It happens even more frequently when the services are experiencing a drawdown--which they were during the time this nitwit was in uniform.

The fact that this guy's discharge was NOT honorable when the Services were pleading for people to quit and would gladly have given them a high five and an HONORABLE if they'd just LEAVE tells me that USA noticed this guy had some kind of a "problem" and they reacted apppropriately. It might have been disciplinary (repeatedly), or it might have been something else.

We will have to wait and see what the reasons were for this discharge, but I would be entirely unsurprised if he got the boot for being a racist asshole who consorted with other racists and someone noticed. Or it could be something much more pedestrian, like he got caught stealing, or something. Who knows?

Time will tell, but broad brushing like you are doing is irresponsible and unhelpful.
