Soldiers Kill. They Are Not Too Picky:
"This is an isolated and tragic case, and we're obviously in the process of obtaining more information as the events unfold," said Defense Department spokesman Lt. Col. Eric Butterbaugh.
Just Like In Iraq:
"We have a terrible, tragic situation here," said Cone. "Soldiers, family members and the civilians that work here are absolutely devastated."
I'm A Human Being Over Here!:
A cousin, Nader Hasan, told The New York Times that after counseling soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan with post-traumatic stress disorder, Hasan knew war firsthand.
"He was mortified by the idea of having to deploy," Nader Hasan said. "He had people telling him on a daily basis the horrors they saw over there."

Anyone tapping into EWS on a semi-regular basis saw this one coming. On one hand joining the military is defined in this culture as a "career choice" and on the other a slaughter by a stressed out officer is called an "isolated incident". No, it's a workplace murder scene not unlike the dozens that have happened in this country this year alone.
This government creates a huge, soulless killing machine staffed with brainwashed cogs, and is surprised when springs pop? The media spin is right on top of it explaining how the shooter must have been insane. I disagree. I say he is the sane one, screaming as loud as he can, trained as he was, pointing out the insanity surrounding him. He wasn't a cog, he was a human being and he was touched deeply by the human beings with PTSD that refused to be cogs and were deeply regretful of their actions overseas. He soaked it up and exploded. I did the same thing with the working people I was with, only weaponless.
It would be interesting to see just who he shot. Many times workplace shooters know exactly who gets the justice bullet. Were the fallen all "innocents"? I would conjecture they were not. They were trained killers going to do their job in a far off land. While I can have sympathy for their surviving families, would they have the same for the families of the Iraqis they killed? They are trained not to, unless of course, the humanity inside them hasn't been eliminated and it returns in the nightmare that is PTSD. Either way, those now dead soldiers were dead before they left for deployment. They joined the military to die, spiritually or physically.
