    Aww thats not nice.

    I am a Army Veteran. If a Major Wanted to sign out a Few weapons from our Arms room, it would not have been a big Deal. When I was in HQ HHC I worked the arms room from time to time and we would get Majors who signed out weapons for this or that. It was not a big deal.

      I fully apologize. I did not know you were a former soldier. And, like Jackdog, I thank you for your service to the US.

      I'll go sit in the corner now and be quiet.

        I can guarantee you that he was not recruited to do this, You would not recruit a Army Major to do the shooting, It is much easier to brain wash a few kids then let them do the dirty work for you. None of this makes any sense.
        That's not how it works.

        An E-3 has just as much accessibility to signing out a weapon as a Major does. If you have a weapons card you can check out your weapon to clean it, go to the range, or dry fire (practice).

        And yes (I'm not saying it is a terrorist attack yet), but you would, in fact, try to recruit an Army Major, or a Specialist, or a SFC. Anyone that was sympathetic to your cause and could inflict the most damage.

        If this was a terrorist attack it would send a much louder message from the enemy that not only a field grade officer did this, but inside the fences of one or our military installations.

          lol apparently My battalion was behind the Times, we didnt have any Weapons cards or have our weapons bar coded. Its just a matter if a different Base, I really shouldnt comment on Fort Hood's weapon policy.

          But your absolutely right if this was a Terrorist Act. I urge restraint though, Muslim Americans are in for a rough time in the coming weeks, which is sad but expected. This may well go down as the Worst Attack on US soil committed by terrorists since 9/11.

          Here is the good news though, The Military still Uses the Gallows. Who ever did this, They will be die.

            VT attacked killed over 30 people. I'd say that was a bit worse in terms of casualties. I just hope they get to the bottom of this situation!

              It's easy to label it a terrorist attack because of the name attached to the alleged shooter.

              I want to say it isn't a terrorist attack and the Major was just pissed he was deploying, but the fact they are reporting that more people were involved makes that scenario a little harder to believe.

              We'll see how it pans out but at this point nothing will surprise me.

                Yea, I am very shocked by all of this. Whats more shocking the the shooting itself the person who did it. A Psychiatrist Major just does not fit the profile, Its like a Chaplain going on a shooting rampage. This guy is just a Coward, How about evening the playing field and trying this S*** at the range.

                    I don't think him being a mental health worker has much bearing on his mental health. Just as doctor's can get the flu, a psychotic state can take just about anyone down.

                    I'm going to hold out on a hard-line opinion until more facts are established.

                    I feel for those poor families.

                      We don't know this one was either.

                      I'm hoping its not... cause its going to cause a lot of strain in America.

                        Well, the statements are coming out now that this Major made comments that he was sympathetic to who the U.S. is fighting overseas.

                        It's starting to look like he didn't like the U.S. policies overseas and the war(s) itself.

                          Which is a wonder how he was a US Major to begin with

                            Probably a recent change in thought.

                                Anyone know if he was a Chaplain? I've heard that Chaplains often come in as a higher rank and advance faster than ordinary military officers, so if he is a military Champlain, he wouldn't have to be in as long to advance to a Major.

                                I could very well be wrong, though. This is just second-hand information.
