"if they wanted to taint the military, they could say i was former military"

The military can take it. As someone pointed out, the DC Sniper was former military, but his derangement was his own.

I’ll wager that we’ll know more about this perp in the next couple of months than we have learned about the Kenyan Klown his etire life.

Well, that’s it. News broadcasters and journalists, spokespersons for the authorities, have informed us that the “shooter” is representative of all of us prior service members.

The answer is to bring back the draft, of course, because enlistments of clean-cut young men are going to dive. And the new, post-DADT officers will need plenty of new toys.

[Irony, disgust and sarcasm written all over that.]

I think his military service is relevant, because the military apparently tossed him out. Tells you something.

Some information on the band:

Based out of North Carolina, End Apathy is the creation of Wade who previously has played with several US bands including Youngland. EA was his solo creation and over the years he wrote and recorded several songs by himself. This past year he hooked up with Brent and the Definite Hate guys and they have been jamming and recording. End Apathy has now played several live shows and their first recordings are also out now on the split 7" vinyl with Definite Hate released by Label 56 in February of 2011. I am very happy to be working with Wade and End Apathy as they have a great old school hardcore/punk sound to them and remind me a lot of the old California skate bands of the 80`s. You can read an interview with Wade here (*)

(*) Unfortunately, the link to the interview appearing on this site http://uprisedirect.blogspot.com returns a hosted page that the article no longer exists. Label 56 has also issued a statement on their home page, "...all images and products related to End Apathy have been removed from our site. We do not wish to profit from this tragedy financially or with publicity."

I note the May 2010 interview is mentioned in part, even with Q&A excerpts, on various news sites but the full interview in at least two locations has since has been scrubbed.

I find it interesting how fast this has been handled. If anyone finds the full original interview, could you kindly ping me? Thank you.

Very strange.

I agree on the media. I think one of the media’s lowest blows yet is that they are headlining that he was a “Former US Military Member.”

It’s disgusting that they are using this as an implied attack on the US military. And that’s even aside from the fact he was discharged early and less than honorably from the Army over 14 years ago.

1998? 14 years ago, and that defines what he is?

Wouldn’t it be just as accurate to say he served in the military under President Bill Clinton?

Kicked out in 1998 (Clinton era) and the SPLC is not an impartial organization.

News on radio has been saying it is a case of domestic terrorism.

All the talking points lined up.

The Fort Hood terrorist is still an ACTIVE member of the military and still drawing his salary even though he refuses to cut his non-regulation beard.

The media loves to denigrate our military. That’s what communists do.

Well, my service goes back to 1970-1974, but to Big Sis, any verteran is a potential terrorist.

The media neglects to emphasize that the military was wise enough to kick this CRIMINAL out of the military.

BREAKING NEWS: Reporter Brian Ross (who is allegedly NOT a sex pervert from South Carolina), has discovered Harry Reid’s name appears as an abortion supporter on a Roe vs. Wade Page on the web. Now reporting that this could mean there is a link between Harry Reid and Wisconsin Sikh temple shooter Wade Page...

There. Fixed it;)

No...they just said that the FBI was seeking this person who was acting strange at a gathering after the shooting yesterday. He had tattoos of 911 too and was filming people with his cell phone.

The gunman fired at officers and the bullets struck squad cars. At that point, an officer with a rifle shot and killed the suspect, Edwards said

Wonder if the officer used an ASSAULT WEAPON to stop this crime.

Wait a sec. Isn’t a less-than-honorable discharge equivalent to a felony conviction for purposes of firearm ownership, i.e., it disqualifies you from legal ownership?
