I have seen how American soldiers pick on their own people. If you don't blend you will pay dearly. Trust me i have seen it. I bet this doctor got his share of American humor.
The soldiers probably worked this Doctor over the edge. And the Doctor snapped with hatred. This event points to it with clarity.
Him being a terrorist. Yeah one created by the Americans in that camp.

It's interesting the majority of contributors to this thread have terrible difficulty dealing with the concept of a devoted Islamist killing American soldiers because he felt it part of his cultural-religious obligation. I'd say it's pretty clear that's what happened here.
Maybe not unrelated, Zawahiri, acting head of the al Qaida/Muslim Brotherhood alliance recently called on sleeper cells and agents in the West to awaken to the call and fulfill their planned attacks.
A wave of them throughout North America since. This is just another one.

It is possible that political correctness is incompatible with group survival, because it always seems to console and attempt to placate and include those outside the group, when those outside the group may in fact wish to destroy or transform the group.

This guy chose a career in the military for Chrissake. He was a psychiatrist with a high rank.
He would have been picked on significantly less than the millions of others who have nee part of the armed forces. 99.9999% of whom did not respond with a mass murder rampage.
And he spoke openly about supporting jihadist actions.
There are mosques and imams throughout the US that promote and encourage the killing of Western people particularly members of the military.
Have you considered their influence?

You know I was thinking the same
this is unprecedented!!!
so you'd rather him sit in a classroom full of children an NOT say anything.
You people are crazy. You complain when your president doesn't do anything, and complain when he does.
It's not about what a president does or does not do, it is how he or she does it.

Political Correctness - U.S. army style:
Oh look, isn't it great that we have a muslim in the army and he's an officer and a psychiatrist? We're soooo 21st century ...
Oh wait! he just killed and wounded a bunch of people apparently based on his incompatible muslim beliefs ...

Here's an update because I haven't seen anything yet:
All three were soldiers, one was a Major (a fairly high ranking officer), and the original shooter was an Army mental health officer... ironic. All three are in their late thirties or early forties. That's the part that strikes me as the most odd. I could understand if these guys were a couple of young privates scared of getting deployed, or not happy with the way things were going in their lives. But these were middle aged men, with seemingly successful careers. Why would they suddenly throw that all away by shooting up a Soldier Readiness Center?
Also, they've already ruled out terrorism.

You forgot about the kid that grabbed a girl, took her to the ground, and started sawing her head off with a blank expression on his face.
This was in January.
This was at VT.
