Indeed! And Senator Joseph Lieberman has announced that he intends to conduct an investigation into why the numerous red flags weren’t heeded. For years, there have been warnings that political correctness was hindering security. Fort Hood might be grim vindication.

That’s probably the case.
Some news reports (who knows how accurate at this early time) say he was suspected of posting anti-war & US policy things on websites.

Now if your average officer had posted something, someone would have spoken to him, perhaps an investigation launched.
But in this climate of no “ethnic/religious profiling”, no one dared use common sense to find out the guys feelings or intentions.

Hopefully, some good will come out of this.

Frankly, I’m surprised they didn’t take him up on his desire too quit & pay back med school costs.
Usually, they let people out that don’t want to be there.
