Well, Fort Hood was a combat arms post, but I'll bet the guys at Fort Bragg and Fort Benning are all saying to themselves WHY NOT US??? Because the folks at those posts, more than nearly any other -- all understand and internalize the fact that WAR is really an acronym:

W
Are
Ready!

Sure we all prefer that they'd be armed and ready to squeeze triggers the moment hostilities begin on post, but those posts are also where the schools (and cadre) are for some of the elite units: Ranger/airborne etc. There are plenty of folks who will know where to secure some sort of weapon and use it effectively, immediately and without remorse.

My dad was in the Army at Fort Lee and I was born at the Fort Lee army hospital. This kind of thing didn’t happen in 1954.

As soon as he got out of the Army we moved back to Tennessee and I have never seen where I was born. I have heard that I’m not missing much.

- It’s great that Obama & Holder have so quickly charged, tried, and executed the two crazy Muslims from Fort Hood #1 and Fort Hood #2 massacres. . .
