The Fort Hood Shootings

[kretincooper]

Is this idiot for Jihad going to be executed or what?

[armyveteran101st]

@kretincooper Last I heard a couple of days ago, they are trying to determine what his mental condition was on the day he shot all those people at Fort Hood. That's a waste of time if you ask me, but we have a judicial system geared towards safeguarding the rights of those accused of crimes, and that's how it ought to be. It is annoying, but I wouldn't trade it for any other. There is no room in the system for automatic assumptions of guilt before ALL of the evidence has been looked at.

we don't condemn any country, any religion cause we know there is black-ship in every community....so we should hate the act which is wrong and search for the truth coz bible says " search for the truth, the truth shell free u"

[armyveteran101st]

What we should condemn as a society, (and what I actively condemn personally and vocally), is the fallacy of organized religion. Forget about the Bible and the Quoran, and start living your life based on basic human decency and the Golden Rule. All these bullshit wars are a by-product of religion, and the poison that it represents for the human mind. The day we do away with every religion is the day when a lot of the bad things that confront humanity will cease to exist.

[cherrybkc]

In Afganistan, Iraq, Palestine, Gaza, lots of innocent people including women and kid have been killed, who was the killer? why these innocent women and kids life is so priceless that no one even bother about them but if someone dies in USA then people raise their voice as if this is only the precious soul of the world?

[armyveteran101st]

Who was the killer? The fundamentalist islamic terrorists that use those women and children as human shields, that's who the killer is. More Muslims are killed by Al Qaeda, Hamas, the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, and the Taliban than by anyone else in the world, and that's a proven fact.

[cherrybkc]

if the jews and christian people does something then no one condemn the religion rather they condemn that group or individual...but if any muslim does wrong then the religion goes to trial...why is this double standard?

[armyveteran101st]

Because Muslims have shown a predisposition to engage in violent behavior. That's the difference. I don't see Christians or Jews strapping bombs to their chests and running into crowded shopping malls before making them explode, do you? And the longer that moderate Muslims go without speaking out forcefully against their jihadist brothers and sisters, the more they validate my assessment. Moderate Muslims should be the most interested people in stopping the nonsense islamic jihadists perpetuate.

[Odinfriends]

another great clip! and you raise a lot of good points in your clip.

I find that when i was in Indonesia most muslim women don't wear the "hijab" and that they wear normal clothes. Nor in most muslim lands. In Europe and the US the women mosly wear their hijab and sometimes a black or brown robe. I think that the more fundamentalist believers come to the west to be more conservative because some conservative beliefs are not tollerated in their home countries.

[armyveteran101st]

GratefulDog, I agree with you to a very large extent. However, I think that, being the civilized people that we are, we have to give people the benefit of the doubt until they prove by their actions that they're not deserving of it. Maybe that entails some pain on our part, but that's what happens to the good guys. I know how prone Islam is to giving rise to extremists, but I don't think we can declare a billion people the enemy just because a few morons decided to take the religion literally.

[rayunseitig]

It may be a little early to form an opinion, unless you are compelled to form opinions on demand.

Having said that, it seems the guy was more beserk- than medatative for the political benefits of terror, agaist an oponnent.

Interesting to notice who is promoting hate and the glory of violence, and why.

[spankeydmonkey]

Again, you're being more than fair and balanced. This one has left me angry and confused. Which is exactly what he intended! I served at Ft. Hood and know it like the back of my hand. I still can't put my mind around this. God Bless our Troops and their Families. God Bless America!

[MrRockythesquirrel]

i think that you are being more then fair.and you are being quite reasonable.and i believe you are very objective

[SSGPops]

I think you touched on several very interesting points that will take more than one posting. First, anyone whos been in the Army more than 5 minutes and in the medical field, knows several ways of getting out of deployment. If this guy couldnt figure it out and needed a lawyer to get him out of his contract after he raped the tax payers and the Army for a free education, he already had other issues. (cont.)

[SSGPops]

2-Lets for now conspicuously overlook the fact that his superiors at Walter Reed may have noticed he was a problem soldier and in their zeal to maintain the status quo after their recent fiasco, pass him off to someone else, in hopes he would either get killed during deployment, or get in trouble enough for someone else to have him chaptered out.

(cont.)

[SSGPops]

3-The generals didnt say they cared more about Muslim soldiers. They actually said they needed special attention I actually would take that to mean theyre going to keep a closer eye on these potentially volatile individuals as it should have been done since the beginning. No other military in the world allows people with potentially compromising ties, to go unchecked. (cont.)

[SSGPops]

4-Many times Ive been accused of profiling. Its either my training, my healthy and useful paranoia, or my uncanny ability to pick out the right targets. This guys entire lifestyle screamed NUTJOB!!

BTW, as a ceiling fan worshipper I take offense at your allegations. LOL

[abdighazi]

Unless he was under treatment, and being pressed, back against the wall, and about to be deployed to a torture team equipped with doctors. And all the while being surveiled by senior commanders and the CIA concurrently. no accident they let happen, someone made it happen.

[SSGPops]

abdighazi--If I could only begin to figure out whatever propaganda you're trying to spread through your nonsensical post, I could attempt a response. I suppose is best someone like you has trouble communicating his stupidity.

"torture team equipped with doctors"? Where in your schizophrenic world do you get your fantasies? I can only assume you're hinting at some ill conceived conspiracy theory, but I still can't figure what kind of drug would allow you to hallucinate and type.

[TenRoc382k9]

i agree he could of came out and openly said he was gay to get kicked out like you said they was other ways he could of got out i read that the fbi said they didnt find any ties but i know for a fact he is crazy as hell... god bless the U.S. our troops and god bless you army veteran

[Akatam0t0ma]

Good job, saying the truth as it is!

As long as we fail to recognize the inherent warmongering tenets of Islam, many more events like that one will occur, sadly :-(

[lancechamplain]

100% with you on this one.  5*

[stormspinner1]

This ex-USAF medic thanks YOU for your service. Tragic, what happened at Fort Hood - would expect something like this "over there," but not here, in our backyard (Fort Hood around 2 hours south of where I live). God bless you, Brother!

[jeremyoyer]

YOu ever notice the leaders who tells his followers they will be rewarded for killing themselves and taking an "infidel" with them are still alive?

Expecting someone to lead by example must be old school. :)

[DonPhilip84]

fundamentalists rape religion as a recruiting tool wich still seems to be functioning well among many, that is sad to see, that they don't refuse to have their religion dragged down to such a level, religion is not the issue, it is wrong-doing in a very general term, yet radical scum continues to milk religion off for their purposes.

[DonPhilip84]

the only way that people with such a mindset can get their things through is through such cowardly acts, while the deployed forces face a very difficult situation and trying to be fair, going by certain rules , scum hides behind civilians, utilizes their uneducatedness as a tool for their means and cares less about anything that we'd refer to as rules and honor.

[islamsuxs]

Right on Brother ! doughboy

[bigbengamer]

this guy reminds me of the man who killed five of his fellow soldiers with a hand grenade before the deployment for iraqi freedom

[mgoracke]

5 stars from a fellow veteran. Well said

[3slimdog]

To much hate in this world. That is all I can say. Religious sects I believe can be dangerous.

[megadweezel]

I will say as an exmilitary person that it is a shame that these soldiers were unarmed and found themselves attacked in an unexpected way in what they considered a safe area. I would however point out that our own forces make every effort to infiltrate,close with and destroy our enemy under equally unexpected circumstances. This wasn't a rape of the innocent. When you are at war the enemy is going to hit you back, and he won't tell you he's coming first. We got beat. We should have known better.

[Keirnoth]

Thanks for the comments 101st. It was a tragedy indeed.

[BAlexzander]

My bestman SGT Mark Stewart, was stationed at Fort Hood, he got orders to report to upstate New York, The boy has nine lives. He was five hours outside of Fort Hood when it happend, In Iraq he missed having his tent hit by in coming missle fire by one hour, the man who took over her tent lost his life. My heart goes out to those who lost family in Fort Hood, I don;t know what I would do without Mark.

[dangerouslytalented]

The extreme fundies (Islamic, Christian, Jewish, Hindu, whatever) do not like the existance of other religions, or lack of religion, or moderate versions of their own faith, and many will do whatever it takes to forcibly destroy them, if possible.

Intolerance is not to be tolerated.

[bjr43]

Weren't you in the Airborn Devision?

[armyveteran101st]

Yes, I served with the 101st Airborne Division at Fort Campbell, KY, but much of my Army medical training was done in Texas, and I have quite a few friends and acquaintances still on active duty that are stationed at Fort Hood. And by means of this video I'm expressing my opinion on the whole event, which I was asked to do by many here on YT.

[islamsuxs]

Airborne Division ! doughboy
