Fort Hood: Four soldiers apparently killed themselves

Concerns include: "...[The] impact of long deployments and multiple combat tours on family relations and the stress levels of soldiers. Other topics include counseling services, the role of army chaplains, and post-traumatic stress disorder..." Works Cited Gomulka, Gene Thomas. "Saving Military Families."

"Fine then. I thought you were aiming at something entirely different. Sorry for the misunderstanding."

Not a problem. 

Response to comment [from an atheist]:  "I say it's a cover-up!  Those vets were obviously killed by Muslim terrorists who were out for revenge."

Where's your bug avatar?

Response to comment [from other]:  "It's Uncle Sam's job to make sure those affected get better."

Uncle Sam is a little sick in the head himself.   Wicked leaders do not help the problem.  You cannot go to war with an unfit Commander in Chief.  We need to be there but not under :Nineveh: this leadership (Jdj 5:8).

Response to comment [from other]:  "If "We the People" don't like what is going on....change it!"

We the people are wicked (Ex 23:2).  There's no hope in "We the People".
