Fort Hood Shooting, Army Major Goes Insane

[mr_pikachu]

I caught this on the radio tonight (first time voluntarily listening to radio news in several years, ironically enough). A really sad story. It was actually sparking some fiery debates in my area, with some arguing that the military should engage in racial and religious profiling -- a practice which is outlawed in the civilian populace, but which the military might have justification for doing.

It's hard to say what, if any, policy changes will be made in response to this. For the moment, though, it seems appropriate to just pause in memory of those who have fallen and pray that this doesn't happen again.


EDIT: I don't think the draft has been used since Vietnam, HL. This was just a guy who voluntarily registered for the armed forces, yet who didn't want to fight people whose religious beliefs fell in line with his own.
