Originally posted by poedxsoldiervetHoly SHit, you know nothing of the Military and the way it works. This Major was not unstable,
he did not want to deploy, for the past 8 years the military has been at war, If he wanted to get out he could have got out, he could have resigned
his commission, became a consensus objector, and here is the Kicker, he could have not RE-ENLISTED. 8 FRIGGIN YEARS He Re-enlisted at LEAST one DAMN
TIME. At least ONCE.
PO'd, no offense here man, but you might want to read up a little about how officers' commissions work, especially non
"line" officers such as those in the medical corps.
An officer's commission is generally a four year comm based on their schooling, however, if an "O" goes to advanced schooling like medical or law
school, he or she is assigned extra years of service. And while yes, you can "resign" your commission, all that does is strip you of being an
officer. You still owe the time in service commitment. So, that really doesn't get you out... if your ordered to overseas service... in my
experience, 100% of the time, you're going.
But no he stayed in, and when he Finally came down on orders to deploy (because he hasn’t deployed yet) He goes postal? That’s bogus and
you know it, you want to spin this and make it look like AMERICAS Fault.
I agree, there's no way is this America's fault. That's
ludicrous and anyone who would blame us for this senseless and cowardly attack should be ashamed
We are not the occupier in Afghan we were attacked by Bin Laden’s group and the Taliban did not give him up to us, Of course we are going to
attack.
Generally, that flies for me, but at this point 8 years on, you must admit, it's starting to appear more like an occupation. But
that's got noting to do with the Ft Hood shootings in my opinion.
And here is another news flash for you because you are so smart, America isnt the only nation with bases around the world. G.B has troops
stationed here, France, china, Germany, Russia, they all have bases all over the world. And every nation has their own SOLDIERS at their embassy
worldwide guarding them, So come correct when you step to me or my country.
Again, that's correct, but what's the relevance to Fort Hood.
And come on, really??? "Come correct when you step to me" ??? What, are you Snoop Izzle Fo Shizzle now??? I expect more out of you man... I've
read your post and your brighter than that.
Muslim Fanatical’s are just that, It doesn’t matter if it was the US or someone else terrorist would still be out there.
Now,
that's on point, but I tend to disagree. I think this guy was a lowlife who had issues most of his adult life. He was conflicted: an American but a
Arab, a Soldier, but a shrink. Most head doc's that I know are the craziest sumbitches I've ever met. They just typically hide it better because
they can analyze their own crazy.
Anyway, there's no excuse for his attack, but sometimes people just snap... and yeah... it appears some Muslims snap more often or more violently
than the rest of us... but I really think that's the media portrayal.
If we lived in N.Ireland in the early 80's it would be the Catholic extremist we'd be talking about. I'm Irish American and proud as hell of it,
but there's enough crazy to go round without blaming and entire religion (or race for that matter) for the acts of an individual, no matter how
heinous that individual's acts may be. That's just my opinion.
