  Civilianism News — Authority: 130
  Like everyone else, I was dismayed and horrified by the shootings at Fort Hood in Texas.  It was a tragic waste of life and terribly  sad.  However, I was not that surprised.  You take a group of people and train them to kill, and killing is often what happens, especially when you combine their training [...]

  'Imagine' A World Of Peace,Understanding,Tolerance — Authority: 134
  No one is trying to find excuses nor defend what the Major did at Ft Hood to his fellow soldiers, but what he was doing for his service career, whether it helped push him over the edge or not, is of major concern for what this country faces for its support of its extremely failed policies.

  The Right Guy — Authority: 125
  The latest main stream media fad is to blame the Fort Hood incident on Vicarious Post Traumatic Stress Disorder .

  Who Is He? and Why Did He Do It? At this point, of course, we know very little, but that doesnt prevent many commentators from speculating, and some from jumping to conclusions.
