What do you expect? Send soldiers to commit horrible crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan and they come home and commit horrible crimes against Americans.

Comment @ 3 looked like it was an entire article quoted verbatim. That's a copywrite no-no. Just provide a link and maybe a pertinent quote from the article next time.

Far as I know, being able to write things down on other peoples private property is not a part of free speech law.

Zepol, you're welcome to post links to those articles here, but we would rather you didn't cut-and-paste entire articles from other websites into the comments section, that's all. Thanks.

@3 What horrible crimes were committed in Iraq and Afghanistan.
@11, actually, Soldiers ARE NOT allowed to carry Privately Owned Weapons on any Army Post, even if they have a CCW from the State in which the post is located. If you live off post you are allowed to have one in your vehicle provided it has been registered with the Provost Marshal's Office, but those living in On Post Housing are required to keep all POWs locked in the Company Arms Room.

Army spokesman confirms that the shooters were soldiers. Primary shooter had two handguns. All the deaths and injuries came in the initial incident at the readiness facility.

"A senior administration official told NBC News analyst Roger Cressey that the suspect who was in custody was an Army major with an Arabic-sounding name."
Wow, way to be just non-specific enough while still being able to fan the flames of anti-Arab hysteria.

Someone I knew who came from that area once said it's no small coincidence that Waco is spelled so close to Wacky.
Claimed the ground is thick with wing nuts and gun nuts and religious nuts and every other righty nut to be found.
And that it was only inevitable that things got extreme with regularity.

@18: Waco wasn't a crazed shooter situation, unless you want to say that about former Attorney General Janet Reno.
