A shooting that prompted a lockdown for hours at a Marine base in Virginia ended with three dead early Friday, including the gunman, authorities said.

Sgt. Christopher Zahn said they were notified of the shooting at Marine Corps Base Quantico late Thursday.

One person was fatally shot, and the gunman barricaded himself into a room, he said.

Using a public address system, police announced a base lockdown as the shooter was holed up inside a building.

Yeah, right. Keep telling yourself that.

I know it must hurt, Gunny, how the generals have betrayed us and gone along with the pro-homo policy, instead of resigning, but they did.

Reality is a bitch, but denial is worse.

China doesn't allows homos in their military, in fact China (PRC) doesn't allow homos.

I had a talk with a young adult at work whose parents came from PRC, he grew up here.
His parents are very socially conservative and so is he.
(unlike many of the young Korean Americans I see here but haven't questioned them closely)

He told me that in China there is a strong cultural and social bond of social conservatism in the community, that the two parent traditional family is considered the pillar of successful society, and they are not even Christians. He said he himself became a Christian because that is the closest thing here to that cultural bond he learned from his parents (not the first PRC immigrant I met here who did that)

They don't have the media and they don't have massive immigration. They have a common culture and social values.

A few years ago I picked up on this, that China is heading fast for what the decaying America once was.

“...or get all worked up and believe you?”

And believe WHAT?

I have presented no theories, only an unwillingness to believe some headlines and immediate judgment calls over others.

Get with the program.

It's now Saturday the 23rd, two days later. Has Obama ordered the lowering of flags as he did for the Sandy Hook shootings of civilians? For that matter did he order lowering of flags for the Fort Hood shootings?
