FORT LEONARD WOOD, Mo. (Nov. 20, 2009) — A Missouri National Guardsman in training to become a military truck driver faces charges of making a terrorist threat in a school near Whiteman Air Force Base. According to court records, the trainee, Pfc. Michael John Frederick, 19, went into a Sedalia high school during a Saturday evening event and told the superintendent that the Army had told him to warn area schools that escaped prisoners might be trying to kidnap students. Frederick was wearing his military uniform when he made his warning about escaped inmates. However, there were no escaped inmates and he hadn’t received an order from the Army to warn school personnel. In fact, Frederick was absent without leave from the 58th Transportation Battalion at Fort Leonard Wood. Frederick had completed his basic training and was in the advanced individual training portion of his preparation for military service. It wasn’t immediately clear from Fort Leonard Wood or Missouri National Guard sources how long Frederick had been AWOL. Trainees in AIT have greater privileges after completing basic training.

“You see, it’s not just Muslims who are terrorizing our institutions”
Chris Matthews for sure next Monday night on Softball.
This guy was definitely not insane and definitely a member of some right wing militia group, Major Hasan Not a terrorist.... This guy certainly is if he even looked at a don;t tread on me bumper sticker....
I would imagine this is what the OSM is thinking...
Either that or they will go: “See, See the troops are cracking first Hasan and now this guy, we need to de-teeth them even more....”
False statements, AWOL, but terrorist threats?
Both the AWOL Wienie and the authorities.
Charged with terrorism? What a laugh. He likely was looking for a date.
Political correctness is cursing everyone.
And Hassan wasn’t charged with terrorism after killing 14?
America had better get ready to protect itself. Looks like the army won’t be able to.
Darn good thing they found out he was looney before he killed someone.
Was beer involved in this?
Just askin’....
“...was in the advanced individual training portion of his preparation for military service.
It wasn’t immediately clear from Fort Leonard Wood or Missouri National Guard sources how long Frederick had been AWOL. Trainees in AIT have greater privileges after completing basic training, and in Frederick’s case, he was a Kansas City resident and was still a member of the Missouri National Guard’s recruit sustainment program in St. Joseph.
According to Missouri National Guard spokesman Matthew Wilson, Frederick joined the Missouri National Guard in February 2008.”
HE WAS IN THE ARMY ALMOST TWO YEARS AND HAD NOT COMPLETED A.I.T.? What is taking him so long? Most of us old timers were in and out of Basic and A.I.T. in 1bout 16 weeks!
Someone was scrapping the bottom of the barrel on this one.
1966 for me.
I don't condone what the kid did, but a terrorist threat!
Interesting how quickly they use that term in some instances and how reluctant they are to use it in others....
PTSS.
BRILLIANT!!
THE Clinical diagnosis is PPP...Piss Poor Protoplasm.
So this guy is a terrorist and the guy who killed 13 people wounded 30 something more while shouting Alla Akbar is just a victim of post traumatic stress disorder?
