this was a tragedy before we knew anything more than the body count; knowing the details of these victims and their lives really brings home what a senseless waste their killings were. Reply

But it's not senseless when we go over there and do that to them daily? I'm not trying to belittle a murder but this guy didn't just do this out of the blue. Calling it senseless is naive to the historical situation and puts no blame on the Government who orchestrates these wars were in and who should be taking blame for repercussions such as this.

You can't be serious. Thousands of soldiers get out of the service better off than before. Some don't, as with just about ANYTHING in life. The military experience may have fucked this guy up, but in no way is this the fault of the government. This bastard snapped one day and killed 13 people senselessly. You may have your views on the war, but either way you slice it there are some pretty heartbroken people mourning right now. Let's leave the politics out of this.

You can't leave politics out of this because politics are the root of this tragedy! You can't just ignore something because it hurts. Things like this should cause more people to think about WHY these things happen. Instead you want us to ignore it and just feel sorry for them while doing nothing at all the change the situation.

@hamsammichs- this guy didn't snap. He was a Muslim who decided to make his mark for martyrdom before deploying against his spiritual brethren. He was a shrink. He's the last guy who would go insane. He was sane - just filled with self-righteous hate. So I say we fill his ass with righteous sodium pentathol.
