It will continue to be spun as a conscientious objector soldier who snapped due to imminent deployment. We must be careful not to jump to conclusions due to the soldier's faith, which had nothing to do with his mental state. Etc.

One particularly insightful remark from a Ft Hood soldier on being attacked: "I was confused and just shocked," said Spc. Jerry Richard, 27, who works at the center but was not on duty during the shooting. "Overseas you are ready for it. But here you can't even defend yourself."

Certainly we must not investigate why someone would shout "Allahu akbar!" while committing mass murder.
