Something that has been bothering me about the Fort Hood shooting coverage.

You're trying to deny that this is an act of violence whence it's the violence in it that's bothering you. 

What bothers me is we are not recognizing it for what it is. We need to realize this is a response to our actions in Afghanistan. We need to prepare for more of them. Thinking this is a one off that we don't have to worry about happening again because the guy was just crazy, is a mistake.

And this happened in Texas. He will die.

Some people are crazy enough to do shit like this, some are a little more sane. If something like this happens again, it will be done by another unstable nutjob.

What exactly are you trying to say? Why should this be called an act of war and why does it even matter what it's called? It's over, and if it happens again it's because there are mental people in the world. Americans don't need to be paranoid and consider everything an act of war.
