Since we all seem to keep linking these things back to radical islam, al Qaeda etc whether true or not..I am sure by now you have mentioned Yemen being in the picture as well which brings me to my question.
How are things coming along in the Gulf of Aden? Inquiring minds would like to know
""""A cousin, Nader Hasan, told Fox News Malik Hasan has "always been a Muslim" and was not a convert as had been reported.
Nader Hasan said his cousin, of Middle Eastern descent, was born in the U.S., attended high school in northern Virginia and graduated from Virginia Tech.
Hasan's name was on a list of officers who received promotions in May, published by the Army Times.
Retired Maj. Gen. Robert Scales told Fox News the massacre did not appear to be the act of a mentally ill or extremely stressed person.
"This was a deliberate act of execution," he said.""""
Crap. I'm 71 yrs old and spent 22 years in the Army. I don't remember anyone who had the guts to harass an Army major. A major is a field grade officer and carries a lot of power. Majors can take care of them selves. There are only a few officer grades above a major, so only a few folks could 'bother' him. Even if a colonel or general chewed out this major, going around killing a lot of soldiers does not float. Sounds like those other nuts in VA who had planned to attack an Army post and kill as many soldiers as the could. This guy was operating under someones directions.
First, my sympathies to the families of the those who died and those who are suffering presently, so they will be healed and back on their feet again soon and healthy. A special one for Sheriff DeBeery whose nephew is fighting for his life as well.
I am reminded that communication is so important because it affords us opportunities to disemminate information. There is a RUMOR this man had expressed his thoughts over the internet days/weeks prior to this attack. Accuracy? What happens when we have information and don't follow through with affording the appropriate authorities or any person in due time?
There is a specific lady in Cleveland who knew about the serial killer of those ladies months prior, and yet said nothing. There are 'rumors' there were people in the military who knew about the plight of the warship Indianapolis when it was shelled, but yet the men stayed in the water for days without help. There is rumor that some people knew about Pearl Harbor prior to the bombings and either failed to inform or ignored the warnings. There is rumor that people knew about Amelia Earhart when she went down but yet her disappearance remains a mystery today. In WW1, all they had were telegraphs and letter carriers, do you think anything was lost or intercepted/non-delivered?
I was listening to a radio program this morning and they were laughing about their 'doofy' mailman who would just keep letters without delivering. Every once in a while we read where a letter is delivered to a residence 40-50 years after it was sent. The consequences of non-delivery of information can mean the difference between life and death and I would hope I would be cognizant of any information availed any forward it. With today's technology and delivery systems it appears this should not happen.
If in fact this gunman gave telltale signs and stated his feelings or intentions over the internet as it was RUMORED, than how did anyone miss it without saying anything? I know I have sent numerous letters and correspondence to people and do so not on a whim but with a purpose.
The bottom line is we need to be cognizant of the messages we receive through first hand knowledge, and deliver the message/feelings to the appropriate authorities and not after the fact. Can you imagine if people could have changed events in the cases of Pearl Harbor or the Indianapolis, what impact would have been created? That is heavy when you think about it. Have a good day.
I want to say some thing about VAMCs. I am not a vet. I do live with a vet. He is grateful for the care he get at VA hospital. Vets earnt that care. My late father got care at VAMC. Some staff are rude to vets. My friend has brought that up with me. We thank them for the care they give the vets.
"What was Fort Hood Shooter's Motive?' HEADLINE. He didn't have a motive. That's why people like him are called insane. Still, I want him shot in front of a firing squad. I was never one to forgive murder because someone was insane, that just makes it more likely they will go insane again after being "cured" and released and then kill even more people. Give him death, no, I really mean it. If that guy is not shot in front of a firing squad our troops should refuse to do their duty until he is.
Typical raghead. Pinko Dr Phil was rinning his choppers about stress and other B.S. No one believes that crap. except maybe a few commie Democrats. He is a R A G H E A D

It's often said that if you think you might be going crazy, you probably aren't - it's the person who sees nothing wrong with his violent fantasies that is in trouble. Sadly, psychiatrists as a profession exhibit one of the highest suicide rates of any - "May have" reached the boiling point is pretty funny, so is "He's in stable condition" which is currently being reported. really?
tool,and I have not read every one say. The one thing one over looks is bulling in the home as well. Some never put their foot down and stop that behaviour and parents and children bully. They have never stopped hthe bully mind set. The bully is on a power trip. The bully has issues. The don't care who they hurt. The bully think he/she controling others if allowed. Rage is a form of bullying. Ye brought places.. It happens every where. The home,school,church,business,etc. Why do bullys gain power. They form gangs. No one bothers to stop the bullys/gangs. Their rights. That is why the prisoms are full. there are other crooks there. I partly blame the home and the govt. Bully starts in the home and the parents are blind to it. They think *not my child*. Yep. Bullying needs to stop at all ages. Adults should know better. Those people in the military raised their right paw to join. I do not like war. I never have. I live with a vet. I HATE WAR. I do want to thanks the vets and troops. I may address one person on the boards but every one is free to read it.
I never tolerated bullying OFF the battle field.At 6f6 and 270 lbs Ijust shake hands with the bullying and tell them to find a new hobby before I tore thier f---in arm off and beat them over the head with it. Maybe a little harsh but in the 50s I was considered a big man.
Viet Nam era protesters fled to Canada because they didn't want to be drafted and serve in the military. Of course their chances of being deployed to that country would have been likely if they were drafted. So why didn't this guy just flee to another country if he didn't wish to be deployed to Iraq? No, he had other motives, and we now see his actions were most likely formulated long ago. I'm not buying the political correctness slung around by the media.

You'd think being a psychiatrist he'd have realized he was going nuts. Right?
