The irony is incredible. As I wrote yesterday's posting about honoring our veterans, and the incredible sacrifices they make, I never imagined one of them would be at the hands of one of their own. An American soldier killing American soldiers.
Fort Hood has suffered some of the greatest casualties in Iraq. Now they have suffered that at their home base on U.S. soil. Yesterday's mass shooting took place in an area where young soldiers are readying to be deployed. They expect this chaos and danger to ensue overseas, not where they are being trained and graduating. Eager to serve, and yet unable. Peace and comfort to the families. They are the ones left behind to endure so much pain.
