I hope it's not a ptsd suffering ex service member.
Bush/Cheney ruined our military and the lives of so many patriotic service members.

4. Oh, fecal material

Several thousand green recruits who don't know their butts from a hole in the ground - where to go, what to do. At least they're not out on base pass.

5. And when I went there they didn't let us anywhere near a gun.

6. Except for small arms training and that was carefully controlled

The shooter may be not be Air Force. Lots of civilians on that base.

7. Teddy Boy Cruz (R) criticizes "Texas Values"

O, wait, my bad. He was really hurling poo at New York for supporting authentic Christian values like feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, and remembering "to judge not others." Excuse my confuse. I guess I thought we might have an actual display of honor or integrity or consistency from Teddy Boy (R), but then I can be such a Polyanna-type sucker sometimes.

Two airmen shot dead in 'workplace violence' at Texas air base

SAN ANTONIO | BY JIM FORSYTH

Two airmen were killed in a "a workplace violence incident" on Friday at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas, military officials said, with media outlets reporting that an airman shot his commanding officer and then himself.

Two weapons identified as Glocks were found at the scene, Brigadier General Robert LaBrutta, Commander, Joint Base San Antonio, told a news conference. LaBrutta said the two men were the only casualties and he declined to provide further details such as a possible motive.

"This was a workplace violence incident and not the result of a terrorist attack," the U.S. Air Force Joint Base San Antonio said in a statement.

The Air Force Times, citing internal Pentagon communications, reported the commanding officer of a training squadron at the base was shot by an airman who then apparently killed himself in a classroom building.

9. Just as I thought

The shooter was an Iraq war veteran suffering from PTSD.
