All I could think of when I heard it is that this could have just as easily have been Southern California where my nephew is stationed. God bless the families of the victims as well as the family of the man who perpetrated this crime. They will have to live with the stigma and horror of what their loved one has done. |

From what has been said is that he was unhappy about the US army killing Muslim families and unhappy about being sent to Iraq. It seems to me looking at this from afar is that many in the US can only afford a higher education by becoming 'apprenticed' to the armed services. In today's 'war against terrorism' there is the obvious disadvantage of being a Muslim. |
