Reports all day, including sound clips from the Defense Secretary addressing the Senate, this fella's MOS was a truck driver. He spent 4 months in Iraq, nowhere near combat. In his entire Army career, no combat duty. Post combat duty stress seems highly unlikely in this case.
I listened to a psychologist treating him for depression and some other mental issues, and the guy sounded like he was shaking in his boots, as though he was going to be in serious trouble when the smoke clears. He said that they had been medicating him and were in monitor mode.
I listened to some of his neighbors talking about him as well. Said he was a nice, friendly guy. They never saw or suspected anything like this from him.
What happened? May never know.
I heard one of the stupidest polls ever today, "Given what happened at Ft. Hood, should soldiers be allowed to open carry weapons on base?". That was a question asked of the general public about soldiers on a military base, as though the general population, civilians should have some sort of "entitlement"of what happens on a military base.
To the innocent persons killed or injured, may God bless.
