#1 The 467th is a reserve Mental health Combat Stress Unit to which the shooter was assigned upon mobilization. Shooter was going to deploy with his unit. He shot up his own fuc*ing unit.

#2 I had kind of suspected that might be the case.

#3 It is my understanding that family members of the dead and wounded are very, very angry and not taking this one sitting down. I suspect Wisconsin politicians are taking some heat rounds.

#4 It's about damned time, Besoeker.

Meanwhile the Narcisist-In-Chief is vacationing at Camp Cavid this weekend.

#5 I'm sure he'd much rather be taking his wife and the kids for a 'River Walk' week end, along with a get well soon visit to Brooke Army Medical Center.

#6 And last night, under the radar, GW and Laura spent a "considerable" amount of time with the wounded and their families. Only cameras around? Probably those of the soldiers, their friends and families that happen to be there when that visit was made.

#7 The following is a statement released by Retired Lt. Col. Allen West:

This past Thursday 13 American Soldiers were killed and another 30 wounded at a horrific mass shooting at US Army installation, Ft Hood Texas. As I watched in horror and then anger I recalled my two years of final service in the Army as a Battalion Commander at Ft Hood, 2002-2004.

My wife and two daughters were stunned at the incident having lived on the post in family housing.

A military installation, whether it is Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine, or Coast Guard, is supposed to be a safe sanctuary for our Warriors and their families. It is intended to provide a home whereby our âBand of Brothers and Sistersâ can find solace and bond beyond just the foxhole but as family units.

A military installation is supposed to be a place where our Warriors train for war, to serve and protect our Nation.

On Thursday, 5 November 2009 Ft Hood became a part of the battlefield in the war against Islamic totalitarianism and state sponsored terrorism.

#9 Major Hasan should have never been transferred to Ft Hood, matter of fact he should have been Chaptered from the Army. His previous statements, poor evaluation reports, and the fact that the FBI had him under investigation for jihadist website posting should have been proof positive.

I'm awaiting the Fox News release that confirms the FBI had this murdering bastard under surveillance and had warned the Department of the Army of his traitorous actions.

#10 I'm sensing a class action lawsuit.

#11 But the Army didn't know the FBI had Dr. Hasan under surveillance. In fact, the FBI was still deciding whether to officially open a case against the gentleman. So that could not have been a factor in any decision the Army made.

#12 Here's what I don't get. If small arms were banned on the base, why weren't they putting people through metal detectors to make sure weapons weren't being smuggled in? It's like the Virginia Tech situation - when you ban weapons without checking everyone for weaponry, only the bad guys will bring weapons in.

#13 I read that Fort Hood is an open base, so no guards at the gates to check for such things.
