if killing shitloads of people made any sense at all... then I'd be willing to think about that.

I bet he was shizo and the little green men in his head told him to kill now rather than later. Can you imagine going to visit a schizo shrink?

I admitted him a couple of times, and got blown away when I'd get a call about him from one of the local hospitals ... where he was working and was referring a patient to us. Eventually he got too debilitated to work, lost his medical license and ended up in a group home. I know that he's dead, think he finally completed suicide. So, yes, Virginia, there are crazy shrinks. The Fort Hood guy was a shrink specializing in PTSD. How's that for a bite in the ass? He was from a Jordanian family, was career military. That he was only a major said a lot about his military career, as does his transfer from Walter Reed to Fort Hood. I listened to an interview last night in which a former coworker, also a shrink, talked about Hasan making statements wsix or more months ago about how Muslims needed to rise up against the aggressor ... who was the aggressor? The U.S. Military. I have also seen the footage of his trip to the convenience store on the way to work ... he wasn't in uniform, military uniform, anyway ... he was wearing one of those flowing white cotton garments that you don't usually see even very traditional Muslim men wearing here in the U.S.

I thought that the reasoning behind everyone being as armed as they wanna be is that in cases like this others can take down the crazy psychopath before he takes down dozens of other people.
I don't know military, but wouldn't folks on an army base be armed? Aren't they lousy with arms? Tragic.

The opposite, military bases are one of the places where guns are strictly controlled.

Which makes this incident another argument against gun control.
I dislike spending time in victim disarmament zones. Funny coincidence ... Nidal Hasan did his undergrad at Virginia Tech.

Since posting I have read several accounts that indicated that while born in America, he identified himself as "Palestinian" on some documents.

I didn't know that, Bruce. I would have figured the opposite.
Thanks.

I heard that today. Their PR must been going crazy. I hear a lot of other stuff has gone done there too.

Remember the new Iraqi soldiers that were murdered right after their graduation ceremony? They were unarmed per US SOP. A really bad idea.

I agree. If there is anyone I'd trust being armed it's our armed forces. They get some of the best training available.
