[Terry]

They're going to start bringing wounded down here to BAMC.

Brooks?

 

[theHawk]

Fort Sam. Probably Lackland too for Wilford Hall.

 

[Article 15]

Obama to speak shortly ....

Fort Sam. Probably Lackland too for Wilford Hall.

Yeah I thought brooks was closed...my guess is Wilford Hall.

 

[Luissa]

this goes on at all bases...you take this many single men....pump them up for war...or have them just getting home...and hell breaks loose...it did in the vietnam era and it has now...you have murders etc all bases just like any civilian population that is as large...

they are saying one is hold up in the px and they are talking about how far the shooters got

we had it happen here on our air force base after the first Gulf war. It is very sad.

 

[Sunni Man]

No terrorist connection according to the FBI.

Yet the FBI is going to the scene. Mop up?

Military bases are under Federal jurisdiction.

That makes it FBI business.

 

[mal]

Smells of terrorist attack.

Attacks at three different locations and three shooters.

Terrorist doesn't automatically mean Muslim BTW.

Correct.

McVeigh and Co were Obviously NOT Muslim and WERE Military...

But this one is Different... 3 Shooters Requires some Serious Premeditation and Planning.



peace...

OSI or SIB can handle it and have in the past. Unless the installation Commander invites them, they usually are not the overall lead on the investigation but rather observe.

 

[strollingbones]

ooooo nicole if your hubbys commander figures out who you are...you are in big trouble...


*nicole is a miltary wife on cnn speaking by phone...now she is talking about where she lives...and what her husband is doing.....nicole shut the hell up*

Most bases contract out gate security. Its mainly to save money and because they need the soldiers for the wars. Good ol budget cuts!

It use to Bones but Congress during the Clinton years and before voted to lower the Troop Numbers. CUTS basically in manpower, therefore they didn't have the manpower to man the Installation Gates, so they went to Civilian. The cost was cheaper too.

 

[Article 15]

**** 12 dead now ...

 

[PLYMCO_PILGRIM]

Link Forthcoming.

My Co-Worker, the retired marine, has been on the phone with a friend in the area.

He just popped his head in the office and said to me "Another f-ing example of the pussification of america....they are on a military base why hasn't someone shot them dead yet?"

 

[PLYMCO_PILGRIM]

2 more confirmed dead just now

 

[theHawk]

This is why everyone should be allowed to tote everywhere. Cowardly shooters like this always target crowds they know to be unarmed.
