Maybe, maybe. Who cares? It's not as if this story is terribly important.

Like the soldier who shot and killed his lieutenant and himself at that very same facility last year? What was his religion?

Actually there are nine men on the US military death row roster. One of them Asan Akbar, who might be known to people following soldier against soldier violence with religious connotations.

Well, they can move Mr Hasan to the front of the execution list, maybe a trip to Camp Gitmo for some honest to goodness torture would be appropriate before said execution

Depends on your point of view. If you have any compassion for the people killed or wounded , I'd say it was a fairly important event

That didn't take long. You didn't predict torture though, fail!

It depends...

How much compassion do you feel for the children, women and elderly killed
or wounded during the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq?

I imagine it's safer being a smartypants than an ally, on the battlefield.

Why do you say that?

Sure, it may only be a "few" casualties in the grand scheme of things but this mayhem and the ensured media frenzy that follows will surely serve to further polarize folks here on the northern part of this continent.

Objective observation, Darvlay. Seems clear to me that there's only an extremely small measure

of hard factual info available on which to opine assertively, less than 24 hours since the event.
