Tragedy at Fort Hood:

Just to offer here my condolences to all the families whose loved one were taken away in this horrendous and senseless killings. No amount of support can replace what they have lost. It is now time for the base and the Pentagon to target those people who are very vulnerable to mental and disturbed patterns..

It is easier to act on suspicion now then to regret later. As details are emerging about the suspect, it is surprising that he was not targeted before. We are in a different kind of War right now, where we have to strike before the damage is done. We should be monitoring all the views and thoughts of all our troops to figure out what they are upto (although my view here will be very unpopular, but remember the military functions differently than the civilians that is why they have Military laws as opposed to Civil Laws).

We can’t wait for the person or persons to act before we catch them. The FBI has been doing a great job at that but the Military should also be doing much more since their personnel has more access to Firearms than the Civilian Population and they are under a lot of stress then the general Population.
