What branch is he in??? Girl, this is all a tragic mess and as sad as this situation is maybe it can result in SOME good and bring our people home.

tinaz said:

sorry but we shouldn't be acting like soldiers aren't human.

He doesn't have any good info either I'm amazed at the lack of correct numbers being released.

nurseV said:

Could be cuz they have people in 3 different hospitals.

SCNDLS said:

maybe so



I know these things take time to get a handle on

SCNDLS said:

Thank you... He is in the marines,,, hes 19...

nurseV said:

Plus they were trynna get to the wounded while gunmen were still supposedly on the loose, so I can see why there's confusion.

tinaz said:

I'll keep you and your son in my prayers.

My lil cousin joined the Navy 2 years ago and Lord knows I wanted to kick his ass. He went to Iraq for 6 mos and he's been back almost a year now.

SCNDLS said:

Gotcha-You lived in Killeen? I know the base is huge, but have you been to the area they are mentioning?

I really appreciate that!! Thank God your cousin came home safely!

nurseV said:

Yep, we lived at the PX. That was like Wal-Mart before there was Wal-Mart so I was always amazed by that shit. And if it's the same theatre they're talking about that's next to where the shooting happened, I believe that's where I saw Predator when it came out when I was a kid.

SCNDLS said:

PX/BX was the store back then Oh okay-just trying to get a feel for it.

OMG did you guys have to wait in line for HOURS at the commissary just to get a frikin cart!! We were stationed in germany...

nurseV said:

And the electronic store was called sight and sound!

tinaz said:

Nope, but it was ALWAYS packed. I remember my mom's friends who were stationed in Germany always had the fliest furniture and shit that they shipped back.

My mother and her first husband were stationed in Germany in 50s while Elvis was there. My brother was actually born there and he was really fair skinned so the nurses didn't believe my dark skinned mother was his mother and didn't want to bring him to her.

tinaz said:

SCNDLS said:

OMG my son was born over there and it was the WORST experience EVER!! Your poor mom!

tinaz said:

Yeah, she has all kinds of stories about her experience as a black, Spanish-speaking woman with her Army husband in Germany in the late 50s and they ain't good.

That muthafucka was a doctor!

SCNDLS said:

One you'd go to for mental help! If the damn doctors are snapping, that should tell us SOMETHING.

SCNDLS said:

ya, they werent to happy about americans being there when we were in, so I can just imagine how awful it had to have been for your parents in the 50's...

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Ridiculous. But I'ma reserve judgment til we find out the deal with these other 2 dudes and if there's a statement from the gunmen.

SCNDLS said:

O Lord.. WTH!!

they have been released...

tinaz said:

He was scheduled to be deployed apparently and he may have known the people he shot and he may be from Jordan.

He's a psychiatrist with a medical license from Virginia and was active duty. Crazy!

really? I haven't heard yet.

SCNDLS said:

That is some fucked up shit right there...

tinaz said:

Right??? But I'm with you, until I know about the other 2 people I'ma give this the side eye. I don't understand how a single person can take out that many SOLDIERS with two handguns.
