The news here is saying that he was about to be deployed to Iraq. His family is quoted as saying that it was his worst nightmare, and there had been "some abuse".

When I was in the army you went where they sent you to dodge bullets.

I had no choice, I was conscripted.

But surely if you join as your own choice you have to understand that that is what armed forces do? Deploy? And your personal feelings don't actually matter, they can't, otherwise where would we be?

I think what you are hearing about "some abuse" is spin. The shooter was a superior officer. Superior officers don't get abused by those under him without reprimand.

:blink: Ummm . . . yeah, expression . . . "flip" goes with something else we shall not mention here.

OK, getting back on topic. . . .

Wow I am still really shocked that one shooter shot and killed 12 and wounded 30 with two handguns.

An experienced shooter can empty a 15 round clip in a semi-automatic in seven or eight seconds. He could empty two clips before people had time to react.

fierce. And sad...

Probably. You can't believe half of what you hear on the news anyway, and the family is also possibly searching for reasons as to why he would have done this.

12 Dead, 31 Wounded in Shooting at Fort Hood in Texas

Thursday, November 05, 2009

A shooting rampage Thursday afternoon at the Army's Fort Hood in Texas killed 11 and wounded 31 before the gunman was killed and two suspects taken into custody.

All three of the people believed to have carried out the shooting were soldiers, Lt. General Bob Cone told reporters Thursday evening, though the motive remains unclear.

AP cites an unnamed source saying the gunman was Major Malik Nadal Hasan, though authorities have not publicly identified him.

:laugh::blink:

When is our self blinded government ever going to wake up to the fact that Muslims simply can not ever be trusted? This is not the first time a Muslim in our armed services has gone out and used our own weapons to murder our own.

Totally agree.

There are also literally hundreds (thousands maybe?) of muslim soldiers who have deployed to both Iraq and Afghanistan over the past 8 years or so who have conducted themselves honorably and served the US with distinction right along side everyone else.

Let's not lose sight of that fact while we continue to search for answers. :blink:

I guess you have a point but it's just hard to remember that when something like this happens. :laugh:

Hey, Captaine Congenial, I read you. :laugh: So then, in admittedly knowing the Islamic Qur'an & the Hadiths, you have surely come to grips with its violent tenets imposed on all Muslims, whether American or Iranian or whatever. Au contraire, Mr. Obama quite evidently has yet to come to grips with its reality. It's a seventh-philosophy born & bred in the pits of hell by its own violent declarations against all others. Muhammad Atta's death-cry of "Allahu Akbar!" re the WTC and as repeated by alleged mass-murderer Hasan was recorded in The National Post as well as Fox Breaking News. Ah, voila, we've got ourselves a beautiful Kodak Moment, yes? :blink:

If, by the above, you mean am I aware that a truly devout muslim is commanded by 'allah' (the former moon-god) to spread islam by the sword and to take neither Christian nor Jew as a friend....yes. Do I understand that islam is a geopolitical movement bent on world domination? Yes. I've read the Qu'ran extensively and understand the basic tenets of that belief system. I'm fully aware that islam is satan's very own 'religion.'

That being said, I did hear on Fox this afternoon that Hasan shouted 'Allah Akbar' in Arabic before firing.

Any Glock 9mm can handle a 33rd. magazine. Also the berreta 92f, which the army now issues, has a 20rd. mag. If eather of this gun's were used, it would be no trouble to do this much damage.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

      Shalom everyone,

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
