The recent events at Ft. Hood are unfortunate.
While watching FOX news the reporter commented that the name of the shooter was now known, however they did not want to release the name because it may lead to unnecessary speculation. My wife and I looked at each other and almost in unison agreed that the shooters name was not going to be "John Smith" or any other anglo saxon combination. Shame on FOX for not delivering the news/information fair and balanced. My wife jumped on the computer and found the name of the shooter in about 25 seconds. Enshala!
Here is an interesting idea, why not allow officers and senior enlisted carry issued sidearms while on post? You would greatly increase the size and dispersion of security forces on board military installations and may reduce the chances that a lone gunman opening up on unarmed soldiers and sailors with the knowldge that lots of other will be packing.

Knowing your targets might shoot back would likely dissuade some of these whackos altogether and would certainly end the carnage more expeditiously!!
