Sorry, Kymmy, it was contained within the quote and I thought it was important to show the absurdity of some people's prejudices. Obviously I was not subtle enough, but will try to be moreso in the future.

Why would they want to cover it up.. or are you paranoidly expecting tomorrows headline to read the following

Look into my eyes, look into my eyes, the eyes, the eyes, not around the eyes, don't look around my eyes, look into my eyes, you're under..

Nothing happend in Texas on the 5th of November

In other words my answer is as rediculous as your question...

Apparently he didn't want to go abroad to shoot terrorists but seemed to be quite happy to shoot his fellow army men. Hmmm.

Well the suggestion is that he lost it.

will it make him a martyr?
did he kill them for himself?
should we sympathise about how he was unhappy?

As there seems to be very little information being released, how is it you seem to know more than everybody else?

What? I'm talking about the quote you posted and you referred to.

Texas is a conservative state. The only thing inaccurate is that they don't use the electric chair any more. They do lethal injection. Although i'm not sure how military punishments differ from civvy street if at al.

The main thing that says this wasn't a terrorist attack is this is an American born Muslim, who spent years in the army to reach Major. That's no easy task. If either of those weren't true, i.e. if he was a recent convert, or a new enlist, then you could put terrorist attack into the realms of possibility, but you don't just join the army and wait that long just to shoot kill that few people. If this was a long term plan you'd expect hundreds of deaths.
