This is just down the road from me.  One of my cousins is a helicopter pilot there.

These poor families have gone thru so much already with numerous deployments and losses over the years as it is.  This is just senseless.

God be with the families of those killed and hurt.

I was stationed there in 1966 before being deployed to Viet Nam.  Good memories there, but then they got worst.

Just watching about the story on CNN, very sad.

So very very sad,after all they been through.I can't imagine the families grief.The guy proclaims our enemies should rise up and defeat us but he's in our armed forces?I also don't understand the facts very well,40+ shot with pistols?I suppose we'll learn more,God help the families.

Very sad, and this person who did this was the psychiatrist responsible to talk to solders with problems ! They need to tighten up security.

If he realy wrote a blog that "equates suicide bombers with a soldier throwing himself on a grenade to save the lives of his comrades," that should have alerted some official, to say nothing of one of his fellow psychiatrists, if any of them read the blog.

I'd also be interested to see if that is true.

Yeh. I guess it's pretty much the same except the soldier throwing himself on a grenade is to save he lives of his comerades. The suicide bomber is just as dead as the other, but so is everyone else.

Hopefully not for long. Disgraceful act, attacking unarmed soldiers preparing to defend our country. May God have mercy on their souls and ease the pain their families are surely enduring at this terrible time.

Absolutely. 

My cousin stationed there is fine.  He was actually not far from there when it happened.  He flies medivac helicopters.  Even our hospital in Waco was put on alert to possible recieve casualties.

I still cannot understand how one guy shot so many with pistols, I guess just so fast.  And confusing.

And he is a doctor!  Not a special forces soldier.

 I saw an interview with a fellow Dr at fort hood.  Sounds like the shooter had as many as 500 patients.  The Army does not have a support system for the Dr's.  That is a lot of horific stories to hear and a lot of people to be strong for with no outlet.

So sad.

From what I read, the SOB is a PSYCHIATRIST for crying out loud! Unreal! Those poor people!

Pray for the the dead and wounded and their families. That's about all we can do.

Kimberly Munley......a Hoggard High School girl from Carolina Beach, a swat team member, brought the Ft.Hood shooter down after drawing attention to herself to protect others.  She continued to fire her weapon after being hit three times.  My new hero.....get well soon.
