News reports saying the gunman were wearing military uniforms. My sister-in-law is stationed there and we heard from her and she said the base was locked down tight. Supposedly 500 troops doing a sweep of the base.
On a side note... if this turns out to be terrorist related it will be pretty weird considering Sarah is the person who posted the first 9/11 thread.Old SchoolComment

Someone just quoted an official as saying it was "an army major with an arabic sounding name".
Hard to believe thats a quote from anyone "official".. but there you have it.43-922-863 Shut up and play your guitar.

Military people...what is the difference between a base and a post?Comment
-
On a serious note, what a terrible tragedy...
My condolences to the families of those killed and wounded - CNN is reporting 12 dead (including one civilian police officer), and over 30 wounded.
In addition to the shooter that was killed, Major Hasan, apparently two other soldiers were taken into custody as suspects.

It essentially means the same thing. Fort Hood is a very large army base about an hour up the road from Austin. The infantry divisions that have deployed through Iraq have been from Fort Hood. The city adjacent to the base is Killeen, which is essentially an army town. It is a giant facility with tens of thousands of military personal and civilians. Many soldiers who are posted at Fort Hood go through basic training there, etc. There's elementary, junior high and high schools on the base, for the kids of the military families.
All of the wounded are being helicoptered over to Scott & White Hospital which is a big private hospital over in Temple.
I have a friend who was supposed to be deployed back to Iraq several months from now. I hope that this guy didn't murder him.

So it is just a different word for the same thing? I ask because the news at one point was calling it a base and then the person doing the broadcast commented that it was a post and that the military can be picky about the terms, Since then it has been a post.
My cousin's husband apparently was there not too long ago but has now moved onto somewhere in Colorado..or so we think. Hope so.Comment

I wouldn't say instinct. I'd say logic.
When most people go on shooting rampages they are jacked on adrenaline and unprepared for the mayhem, which is why body counts are typically so low.
A dozen killed and 3 dozen wounded means the shooters knew what they were doing.
Like soldiers.

It feels odd that one person could kill shoot so many shots in multiple locations on a military base without being taken down a lot earlier.Comment

Found this on Yahoo...
ADGGenerally, the difference between the two refers to infrastructure and permanence at the time the base was established.
BRAC (Base Realignment and Closure) has changed the way our military bases are set up, so the names "Camp" and "Fort" have lost some of their original meaning. A Fort was a fortified, larger, and more permanent base. And, a Camp was smaller, with more flexibility. Originally, Fort Benning was Camp Benning... fyi.
Branch vernacular determines the usual name for a duty station too: the Air Force calls it a base; the Army a post. But, I've heard Army personnel refer to "living on base."
Yet another example of the subtleties in our language.
Fort - permant location usually found in the states.
Base - Navy and Marines.
Camp - temp or abroad location.Comment

Its on the BBC front page now http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/8345713.stm
It does seem pretty strange how he managed to shoot so many people before being stoppedComment

Whats so odd about that? It was obviously a muslim soldier who went on a killing rampage who can do some amazing things such as get off hundreds of rounds and be in multiple places at one time without being killed. He must have had training from Neo. Al-CIAduh is coming to the homeland. Lock your doors ad hide your kids. The military will need to crack down.PLEASE WAIT WHILE BIDEN ADMIN UNINSTALLS ITSELF.....

There are reports that Major Hasan was a Army Psychiatrist, who treated soldiers with Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome, and that he was a recent convert to Islam, apparently facing deployment to Iraq.

Here ya go folks. Dust hasn't even settled and plans are in motion. At least after 9-11 they waited a day to enact the plans they had ready and waiting months before. I guess now those 400k pre-ordered soldiers will come in handy to go after these homegrown terrorists.

Counter-terror plans will be revised to reflect Fort Hood and Afghan attacks
A soldier turning on his comrades at Fort Hood, an Afghan policeman killing the British soldiers who trained him - two uncannily similar events in two days, but incidents which, across the Western world, security authorities have been planning for and dreading.
Since the Mumbai attacks counter-terrorism planning has seen a major shift. Those charged with thwarting or reacting to future terror attacks were alarmed by Mumbai. The shootings in Afghanistan and Fort Hood carry echoes of the attacks in India with the added danger that the enemy has come from within.

It doesn't really seem unreasonable to me that he was able to kill and injure that many before being taken out.. It's a training facility that means the only guns are the ones on the ranges or that aren't functioning for marching and formation training. And if it's true it was some graduation ceremony then all the more "open targets"Top virtual hosts for under 10$? www.hostmylife.com | icq 50663030Comment

Glad I'm not in Fort Hood...“If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”Comment

Well, you would THINK that with all those GUNS around, someone would have SHOT that/those motherfucker(s), right? C'mon gun advocates, ain't you the ones always sayin': "Oh, if EV-ER-Y-WON was armed & dangerous there would be no more shootings"?
