War is war and civilians die. You ought to be glad we are so much better than the rest of the world at avoiding collateral damage. At least we try. That is more than Russia or China would do.

My advice is that if you don't want to get bit by the dog then overthrow your leaders before they pull the dog's tail.

Plus the insurgents have blown up more innocent CIVILIAN Iraqi's then the Americans. Those heartless bastards.

How can you say it's sad when we don't even know what happened or why? Would you think it's sad if some 18 year old is getting revenge on the US military because a predator drone killed his whole family while attending a funeral for his baby brother? Let's get the facts and figures before we start shedding tears. No doubt many people in this event are innocent but so are thousands who have died at the hands of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.



I'm sorry that you feel that way, but I think that death is sad regardless. Innocent people were killed. As far as your predator drone comment, you have no way to prove those killed and wounded were responsible for the hypothetical attack you bring up.

You can kindly take your hateful rhetoric elsewhere. Comparing death in numbers should never be done. A life is a life, and should be respected.

So yes, it is sad that people have been shot and wounded.

Did you shed a tear for the 6+ black women that were raped and murdered in Cleveland who's bodies were recently discovered? Death and life is relative and subjective my friend.

Exactly THAT'S MY POINT! We don't know anything yet. We don't even know who was killed.

True. There is a lot of crime in Killeen. A lot of gang activity that has gone down, and some of them being in the military. Occasionally you will get a lone duck that goes off their rocker but nothing ever like this before on Ft Hood.

Like I said earlier, normal population for Ft Hood is 30,000 to 35,000 and up to 50,000 if troops are going to be deployed.

Before I had to run and pick up my kids, kxxv.com had a Mother outside and her child was in school inside the base. Heartbreaking to see her. And now more family members are gathering near one of the entrances.

And whoever said that some hints of terrorism, I must admit, that was my first thought.

And the FBI being involved was confirmed locally around 2:30 CST. FBI and Secret Service has had a strong presence ever since Bush build his ranch by me. So it isn't like they had to fly in, they are already here and could respond quickly to this.

I agree and is exactly what I was thinking. This IS terrorism. Shooting innocent people and causing city wide lock downs is terrorism so I don't know why they always have to add that during any situation. Just to keep people calm I suppose.

Can you just TRY to stay on topic for once?

Deflection alert, yet again...

Very good point Aggie Man, I guess the FBI is meaning in terms of "non home grown" but very important that you mention that!
