Started in a readiness area (deployment business). Mentioned that Ft Hood has had a lot of suicides lately.

Isn't Fort Hood the largest military base in the world? Sounds crazy, I just flipped on the tube and its all over the media. Makes you wonder why a couple gunmen wouldn't pick an easier target.
Ft. Hood would be the WRONG place to attack. Something like 40,000 troops there, its a small town.

must be a crazy left-wing terrorist. If there was one shooter I would think a good possibility of a crazy soldier suffering from PTSD, but multiple shooters means anti-troop left-wing nut jobs.
edit: wow, it ended up being a crazy left-wing soldier

Should be interesting to see how this develops.
Losing 7 soldiers on our own soil is a tough blow to hear about though.

I hope this doesnt turn out to be some homegrown terrorists like the one that shot up the recruiter station.
