suburbanargyle Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Appears to be a disgruntled soldier, or more than one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casey Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 There was an article in the current Rolling Stone about some soldiers from Colorado that had murdered some folks. It appears that the fellows coming back from Iraq aren't mentally stable. Go figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 HOLY FUCK I go to school at UTSA (University of Texas at San Antonio) and just a couple days there was a shooting at the military section here, and the perpetrator allegedly got away.

daniel Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Nevermind. Apparently "The Reserve" is not a military thing. Who names an apartment complex "The Reserve" though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suburbanargyle Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Nevermind.Apparently "The Reserve" is not a military thing. Who names an apartment complex "The Reserve" though? lol. I was gonna say, if there had been a military shooting in San Antonio I would've definitely been aware of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drew Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 This is what war does to people. Dude had never been to war. But still, he is in the army, and was about to be shipped off to the Middle East in just a few weeks. So yes, this is what war does to people who haven't even been there yet.

suburbanargyle Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Disagree, I did 4 years in the military and have experienced "about to be shipped off" before....just because one guy can't handle it doesn't mean you can paint the whole military that way. People who use this incident for an anti-war platform are wrong, and don't know what they are talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot more fodder for being anti-war than this isolated incident from a deranged man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People who use this incident for an anti-war platform are wrong, and don't know what they are talking about. But how many people commit suicide in the military? You can't tell me that's not related.

suburbanargyle Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I agree with you there. If you don't mind, when, where, and why did you enlist? Just to clarify, I'm not saying that I am anti-war, but I am agreeing that there are valid anti-war reasons. I enlisted in May 2001 when I was 18, mainly to gain some sort of career path as I wasn't really going anywhere working in a grocery store. Did my 4 years and came out with a good job in the same job field and the GI bill, amongst other benefits. For the past 3 years, I've been working for the Marine Corps and deploying 200 days or so a year to many different places and training regular Marines and special forces in my skill set. It gives a very good perspective on current operations, because while their training / job does involve killing bad guys, it just as much involves things like NOT killing good guys, humanitarian efforts, and generally helping and showing compassion toward the Afghan people. Which is tough when you are continually dodging potshots and IEDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idlehero Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 my buddy is stationed there, i hope hes ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakland Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Everyone is dancing around the fact that this guy is clearly Muslim. Perhaps that's part of the reason he doesn't want to go to Iraq. There's also the other, more awful possibility that he's a terrorist. Who knows. My thoughts and prayers are with these folks and their families. Hope your buddy is ok idlehero.

controlthebleeding Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 he probably most likely went cuckoo from stress. most likely not a terrorist, but with the media the way it is, it could paint that picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
