Psst...mainstream media is all about the Ft Hood shooter's religion, but recently a resident of Sherman TX, John Russell, killed 5 colleagues in a psyc clinic in Baghdad.

(link to list of soldier on soldier murders)
The two most recent were single shots at parties (guns and drinking rule) while of the 3 mass co-soldier murders, 1 was the Sherman fellow while 2 appear to be Muslims (the other was prior to the 2003 invasion, Hasan Akbar, who lobbed grenades in co-soldier's tents and shot people as they ran out, killing only 2)

Oh I had liked that video a lot. First I was surprised to learn there had been a second woman taken captive in Jessica Lynch's convoy. Second I liked her eye rolling the minute the JAG suggested that a high-ranking doctor could never snap. (If you get an MD, you're commissioned a captain and if you get board-certified, then you're a major so it's not like the guy had worked his way up the ranks.)

They were both rude and just talked over one another. She was lots of fun when he got popped for his inane "Have you _been_ to Iraq?" Still, her retort was not intelligent or insightful - neither was anything he had to say.

Good point on his rank, but he had been around since his HS ROTC
