The lesson of Odoacer is pertinent here. We should clean house if we don't want to befall the same fate.

hindsight is 20/20, but they ahould have had this guy watched or arrested in camp before he had the opportunity to do this evil.

"Normal" people can't imagine someone doing something like this. They may have though he wasn't up to combat but I bet none of them considered he could do something like this. I wouldn't be too hard on them. They have suffered enough and will be watching each other closely. So close,I fear that it may affect their ability to concentrate on the other enemy.

What is it going to take to convince the world...

Probably quite a few more instances like this, both in the military and in the civilian worlds. Maybe some day we'll wake up, before it's too late.

And they will be loathe to elaborate on the specifics...just like they were with the DC snipers.

But...we aren't forgetting are we?

Crazy isn't it?

Social engineering in our military has come at a high cost hasn't it?

BUT WE HAVE TO BE FAIR AND TOLERANT...remember....like the military operates as some petrie dish to expereiment with failed ideas.

What happened tonight and how it was even allowed to forment has shaken me. That these loons can permeate all the way into the 101st is scary. I hope none of them are manning missle silos.

As the man who carried out the attack moved away there was some shooting. He was shot in the leg.

The grenades were rolled into three tents
The grenades were rolled into three tents

He was held on the ground less than 100 yards from where the attack happened."

Ramsay said the soldier had been guarding a grenades depot at the time.

He said fears about the soldier's behaviour had been raised by colleagues.

"In recent days they were concerned about his behaviour and were not going to send him up to the front when the soldiers were going to be deployed."

It is not clear whether the soldier, who Ramsay said would have been in the Gulf for some weeks, had planned the attack before being deployed.

"To be honest we just do not know," Ramsay said.

"Talking to other soldiers, it could be that he was disgruntled. They said he had been acting 'weird' for days."

Someone just posted the head chaplain at Walter Reed is a Black Muslim.

That's wonderful isn't it? Does he wear a bowtie and glare at everyone?

IN fairness to muslims (something I'd rather not indulge in right now)....Nation of Islam are not real muslims...they are fakirs...a cult but they are quite dangerous and should be renounced by the black community the same way the Klan is by whites for the most part.

Hell....Clinton contracted with NOI to do security for housing projects...paid for by our taxdollars.

Tell me we aren't weak and soft as putty?
