After my time in Afghanistan my CO and 1SG at Drum thought I should see the docs about one of my experiences. Even in 2004 I knew I didn't want that label on me, so I politely declined.

During my C&P exam, I told the head shrinker absolutely nothing about anything that could be construed that I had seen any stressful stuff.

Why is it shameful to cut away once you've delivered the small amount of information you have rather than spend endless hours with nothing but uninformed speculation? I think Fox handled it right -- broke in, delivered the breaking information then cut back to something they had real info on until more info was available.

The /mil changed procedure for on base incidents. The only fuel it provides is for PRO-GUN folks to reinforce having a gun can save lives, in situations like this.
Hassan was "soldier on soldier" OR as our fearless leader said, workplace violence [facepalm]

Fuel as in no one can be trusted with a gun. All soldiers are mental defects. Anyone can buy a gun and go on a shooting spree. Need I go on?

Amazingly, the General in charge of the base completely disagrees with that and wants no part of soldiers (other then leo) carrying weapons. He made that very clear in his press conference when someone asked that quesition

Probably because he wants to keep being a General and get another star.

If a member of the military can not be trusted to carry a loaded sidearm, then that person should not be in the military. We give them machine guns, bombs, grenades, missiles and fighter jets but giving them the responsibility to carry a sidearm is too much?

General said the response time was 15 minutes. Wonder how long that feels like when you are an unarmed sitting duck?

Am I having a stroke or are you? What in God's name was that supposed to say?

I don't know.

I just got back to the house. I'm home safe for the night.

Glad I'm not the only one that couldn't get through that tortured sentence.
