Shooting At Ft.Hood

[Strike For The South]

Not really Strike, there are many military shrinks out there and they do not do this. Hearing horror stories can make you feel sorry for your fellow soldiers and get depressed, but it doesn't lead you to murder them (while screaming a religious phrase). Yes, you are right, it may have let to a mental break down that depressed him enough to not care about himself, but it looks like what actually motivated him to murder his fellow soldiers was his belief in radical islam. You have to remember Strike, there are moderate muslims who do not feel like they have to kill non-muslims, and then there are the fundamentalists who do. Islamic fundamentalists are dangerous, because they feel that it is their duty. Horror stories may have depressed him and cause him mental anxiety, but it seems to be fundamentalist islam that motivated him to become a murderer. You cannot ignore the danger that fundamentalist islam (or any other radical set of beliefs that can motivate people to do things like this) poses to society. And no, of course that is not the only one, but it is the one relevant to this discussion.

And you have to remember the suicides and homicides commtied by returning vets borders on ridiculous. Religon may have been the tipping point but you don't rise to major with out some major background+pschyatric checks.

If we simply blame this on muslims we are doing our men in uniform a great diservice. A cry for help will be overshawdowed by a name and that's the tragedy here. More hate and no help.

America loves to claim we love our vets and now is the time to show the world we do. It's time to sack up and take responsibilty.

I'm sure religon had a role in this killing but there is simply more than "He was a muslim, that's why"
