Former Ft hood member here......Army Nurse. Anyway....this guy was nuts. He was a muslim and did not want to go to war against his "brothers". He snapped.....no conspiracy. It is easy to get weapons on base.....not all cars are checked and he was a doctor.....they waved him by, trust me. There was a processing going on and other stuff......the base was busy. This guy planned this and he just went Muslim fanatic on us....the really sad thing is that he killed innocent person......I am sure he felt those he killed were going over to kill his brothers, etc but none-the-less.....we became the enemy to him. He thought he was going to die. the Army sgt that shot him was behind him.......he is lucky to live, but that sgt was trained in this type of thing and she probably was trained to not kill him to have him as a suspect in case of larger group, killing him would have stopped that and in fact may have impacted an investigation.......
This man has been planning this for years bet on it! We need to purge our ranks and look closely at who is where, etc. He could have just walked up to the commander and whack, the presidient too if no one was paying attention............rogues w/i our ranks is serious.....and now if there are other muslim based soldiers.....they need to be removed for their safety secondary to backlash............no one will trust them.not now.
Hell, I am mad too......but this guy had easy defenseless targets. They YOUNG soldiers were prepating to be deployed and were NOT combat hardened, just young kids really............this man sucks ~thow whole thing only lasted 3 minutes. We were lucky he could have had a bomb on him, think of that...................

If there had been a Major in WWII who was openly practicing the Japanese Shinto religion on a daily basis and had made it known he was not happy about going into war in the Pacific, does anyone think that would have escaped notice?
What's nuts is all the political correctness that's gotten absurd.
Unless, of course, he was a patsy (and I'm still open minded to that).

2 pistols, 200 rounds fired...that's about 10-20 magazine changes...4.5 inch Mil-Spec barrels...a base full of combat-hardened troops...44 people either killed or wounded...and 5 hours later, after having been confirmed DEAD 5 hours ago...the shooter is still alive. Do you smell a big pile of BS? I do.

The guy that started this thread is a friggin' IDIOT! Nobody ever blames poor reporters, and all this site is about is conspiracy! How pathetic, in a few hours this nitwit will have a video compilation connecting yesterday's events to 9/11.
The only conspiracy is this WEBSITE claiming everything is a conspiracy!

Yes, the Nation was then at war, struggling for its survival and it's not for us today to pass judgment upon those who may have made mistakes while engaged in that great struggle. Yet we must recognize that the internment of Japanese-Americans was just that: a mistake. For throughout the war, Japanese-Americans in the tens of thousands remained utterly loyal to the United States. Indeed, scores of Japanese-Americans volunteered for our Armed Forces, many stepping forward in the internment camps themselves. The 442d Regimental Combat Team, made up entirely of Japanese-Americans, served with immense distinction to defend this nation, their nation. Yet back at home, the soldier's families were being denied the very freedom for which so many of the soldiers themselves were laying down their lives. . . . The legislation that I am about to sign provides for a restitution payment to each of the 60,000 surviving Japanese-Americans of the 120,000 who were relocated or detained. Yet no payment can make up for those lost years. So, what is most important in this bill has less to do with property than with honor. For here we admit a wrong; here we reaffirm our commitment as a nation to equal justice under the law.

Why does everything have to be a conspiracy with you people?

Well I'm quite certain people don't come to ATS to share recipes.
Following the Meiji Restoration, Shinto was made the state religion of the Empire of Japan, and in 1868 its combination with Buddhism was outlawed ...
