| ultima said: Can I get a short summary of the story please? |
There are so many stories on it, that it's hard to find one that's a good summary. Just google Fort Hood Shooting
Here is a quick synopsis of it:
A US Major entered Fort Hood recruiting center, killed 13, wounding 35 or so others.
He was a muslim who was against the war. he has on several occasions remarked about how we were on the wrong side of what's right in this war. He was about to be sent to the middle east, and decided to make his stand before he went.
He had written on a few blogs about how he does not think suicide bombers are the same as people who are suicidal, as most suicide bombers think that if they can take out members of the opposition who one day might kill there own, they are saving lives in what they do. He equated it to jumping on a grenade to save your fellow comrades.
