I garee with Jenn completely. I have read that the person in question was often ill-treated by his own colleagues because of his faith and his place of origin… This kind of behavior needs to be checked so that there is no discord within our own forces…

You have to be careful in these kinds of situations though that people do not get offended and think that you are doing some kind of profiling process. I have heard people say that he should have never been allowed in because he was a Muslim and that is just stupid. The military and our country as a whole needs to be welcoming to anyone of any race or religion and yes this guy was a bad seed but not because of his faith. He was just bad. I am so sorry for the families at Ft Hood right now and sincerely hope that they can find some kind of peace and closure despite this pain that they are sharing and grieving over. But I do not want others who do wish to serve to be treated unfairly as a result of the poor actions of one person.

There could have been a Christmas memorial for all those who passed away in the unfortunate incident. This would give a lot of moral strength to the families of the deceased.

all of this pain caused by someone who now has a broken life of his own and will probably get away with spending the rest of his life confined to a mental institution, not in prison where he rightly belongs

A celebratory time is a bad time for anybody going through grief as it tends to aggravate it for them…

Hmm…must be a difficult predicament when everybody around is enjoying and happy when you have lost a member of your family…and that too to an unnatural cause :(

Very sad that those who do so much for the country are having to deal with this kind of tragedy. Can only imagine the pain that the families and entire base are feelingthis Christmas.
