FORT BENNING THREAT

So you think that the currently quadriplegic (and it’s a tragedy that this is the extent of his current disability) terrorist known as Nidal Hassan was just a “lone wolf” or an “anomoly” and that such a thing is a one time event which could never happen somewhere else?

Think again.

From the Army Times:

Note said Hood-style shooting could happen

A box of hollow-point bullets and an anonymous note threatening an incident like the one at Fort Hood, Texas, were discovered Thursday at Fort Benning, Ga., sparking a criminal investigation and greater police presence, a witness told Army Times.

According to a witness at the scene, a box of 20 hollow-point shells and a handwritten note were found in the motor pool area between 1st Battalion and 2nd Battalion, 29th Infantry, under the 197th Infantry Training Brigade.

“The note said ‘tell the commanding general to call off all charges or there will be a re-enactment of Fort Hood,’ ” the witness told Army Times. He spoke on condition he wouldn’t be identified.

Of course they’re investigating who had a nearly unbelievable dip in their I.Q. that would allow themselves to do something this monstrously, immensely, galactically,  and universally stupid move.  They’re looking for fingerprints and talking to people who’re in trouble in the military.

I just hope they’re beefing up the guard force and the guys and gals on base are wearing their soft body armor.  Don’t forget that for some reason the same military that trusts these guys with tanks, intercontinental ballistic missiles, and fighter jets with machineguns and thermonuclear warheads doesn’t think they can be trusted with a handgun when they’re off duty.  I guess somehow they think they change when the come off the flightline, out of the tank turrets, and up from the missile launch capsules.

Here’s hoping this is just a sick prank.
