two members that are no longer active were stationed there at one time. i dont think we have anyone that is there now.
this **** sucks man, this happened at a processing center, so either the victims were soldiers who just got back from Iraq or Afghanistan, or about to leave for Iraq or Afghanistan. Can you imagine having to deal with all that bull**** in Iraq and then getting shot in Texas on base??
I have friend, former tigerbandman, who is stationed there while home. I hate to say this, because I know some are or will be mourning soon, but I don't think I've ever been happier to know that his tour is not supposed to end for another month.
Shooter was an Indian shrink. As I am told, this was a well planned event
designed for high casualties versus a random event. I am understood those
killed were processing for deployment. I still have a handful of friends
there however, most are currently deployed at this time. This is phucked in
every way imaginable. Prayers are gonna be long and distinguished. Very sad
chain of events.
it rips my heart out that people brave and giving enough to be willing to sacrifice all for their country were killed this way.
i am at a loss for words.
WWL says there are only 14 Louisiana residents at Hood now, and all are accounted for. They are an advance team getting things ready for a larger unit that either returns from Iraq or is preparing to ship out next month.
warning: article linked will piss you off.

some of the people that bastard killed. May they rest in peace, and prayers for their families are in order, if you do that type of thing. Fort victims had different reasons for enlisting - Yahoo! News

I would ignore his rank...

I dont find it offensive I just find it a bit out in left field, if thats...
