    1 captured, 1 more cornered. We have people in and out of there all the time. Thank God nobody is there at the moment. Well now they just said one more is on the loose.

    They are using M-16s

    3 Soldiers were the gun men. One is dead and the other two are in custody. 12 dead and 31 injured. Wonder what the hell happened for them to go on a killing spree?

    Christina was at Fort Sam Houston, I believe. Jason is in Jersey.

    There are so many things I want to say right now about this but, I'd have to slap myself with a permaban. :mad:

    I'll freakin' say it. I'm sorry but Islamic extremists have infiltrated everywhere. Time to start taking a real close look at "converts". Seems they are the ones who end up in all these situations.

    At the moment, my prayers are with the families. However, COramprat hit the nail right on the head.

    First let me say Holy Moly that is scary and I can't even imagine and my prayers are with all of them.


    I just want to also interject the mental status of some of our soldiers, especially those returning from combat. Some people are built for those horrors, some are not. And although I do not know firsthand at all, but my impression from the info I have is that soldiers returning who have handled it in less than ideal ways....are not supported like they should be.

    So anywho....this may not even be the case here....but its something worth mentioning. And I only mention this because it seems like there have been other incidents on bases, here and abroad, that were the result of an instable soldier. I just ask that we support our soldiers....those in active zones....and those that need us when they return. I would be the first to admit that I could not understand it unless I was there, but I'd always offer a shoulder and an ear for those that endure the worst for my benefit. Thank you. :flag:

    I hope nobody takes my comments the wrong way, I just don't want to assume based on a name. That is all.

    A comment I posted elsewhere, I want to post here as well. This stuff bothers me....

    To the families and loved ones that support them and make sacrifices in their lives for all of this to happen....you too! THANK YOU! Without these people, present or past, we would not have the life we do. prayers and thoughts go out to those at Ft. Hood. THANK YOU to all of those that serve our country! Prayers and thoughts also to everyone who defends OUR country and/or has....and helps me sleep safe at night and for those who have sacrificed and continue to do so.

    Seriously. WTF is wrong with people. You know I'm not saying this is terroism ( which by defenition this is) but it seems these "people" who are all about killing strangers do so by suprise attack. Man up and face your enemy. IF you are out to prove a point, a sucker punch isn't the way to go about. Hang these bastards
