Fox has wall to wall coverage. I have a friend there and can't get in touch with her.

I wonder if this is related to combat caused mental issues. With multi deployments into combat zones, the mental health community has warned of increased violence. And the defense department failure to provide adequate resources, they continue to re_deploy head cases. What was once fistfight or shouting matches could now escalate to mass carnage. We'll see.

Too bad he didn't commit suicide before killing and harming others.

My VA doctor lost her civilian medical practice because of three tours. Even during WWII the GIs didn't fight for such a prolonged time.

In a month or so we've had 2 cops killed by teenagers or close in age that committed suicide after killing them.

The enemy was more identifiable in WW2. In afghanistan bothnsidesxlook the same. That just has to be stressfull.
