This is indeed a tragedy. Our soldiers should be safe at home if nowhere else. There are so many unanswered questions that I look forward to. Please keep us in the loop.

Heartfelt prayers go out to those wounded and the families of all who were shot in this brutal attack. May God be with all of you and with our nation.

The Army must award Fort Hood police officer Kimberly Munley a medal for her heroism! She shot Hasan after being wounded, several times (how many, I’m not sure).
Thank you for listening.

God Bless the troops, the families, the police, and the medical folks. You are in our constant prayers. Thank you for serving. We will do our duty as lawmen, as veterans, and as members of the community to aid you.

As an American & native Texan I am truly saddened by the violence our brave soldiers have had to endure on American soil. Not only do they risk their lives in combat but also on a military base where they should feel safe.I will keep all of the fallen & injured as well as the families in my thoughts & prayers. “Always remember that you are Americans, and it is your birthright to dream great dreams in this sweet and blessed land, truly the greatest, freest, strongest nation on Earth.”

— Ronald Reagan

Still sick to my stomach that this happened. And to those who were getting ready to deploy (or perhaps coming home?). Pure evil.

I was stationed at Hood and now live nearby in Austin. My thoughts and prayers go to the families and friends of the wounded and the departed. It’s tragic knowing something like this has happened so close to home. Yet, I must praise the men and women who responded selflessly to aid those hurt during the shooting. It shows good character and deeply embedded Army Values. Hooah!

I have no military background — never served, not married to a veteran. My dad was a WWII vet, so that’s the closest I’ve come to the military. But my absolutely most heartfelt sympathies go out to everyone at Ft. Hood, and elsewhere, who has been touched by this tragedy. Our soldiers do so much for us, to keep us safe and secure, and it’s so awful that they should be under fire right here at home.

You are all in my thoughts and prayers!

I was stationed at West Ft Hood in the early 80’s. My prayers go out to all who are directly affected by this disgraceful act.
Hopefully the Army will establish a fund to help the survivors and families of the slain.

God Bless. The whole country holds you in their hearts. Kimberly Munly, you are awesome!

Agreed. We are praying for the affected families.

Dear President Obama and Sec. of the Army,

I’m writing regarding the attack on the Fort Hood by Major Hassan. There are approximately 4,000 active duty troops in the US Military that self-select as practicing muslims. You must order that these men and women be subject to complete review of their activities and comments outside and inside their duties in the US Military. If it is found that they have made statements or are making comments online that are sympathetic to muslim radicalism they must be honorably discharged with what ever benefits they have attained. The men and women of the United States military deserve the utmost protection that our intelligence services can provide; if we are unable to keep tabs on this fellow who publicly makes statements against the United States of America while serving in the US military what hope do any of us have?
Finally, you must order that any base that has activities where troops are unarmed because of training or other activities that an armed presence is on hand to retard this from ever happening again. When my grandfather and my father served they were issued side arms to defend against this and other eventualities.
Major Hassan shot a pregnant women; if that isn’t enough for you to do the right thing in this instance I don’t know what is.

Respectfully,

I was raised in a military family, taught to respect God, Country and the Flag. I was told that as military personnel you do what is expected and required, that your personal agenda is not greater than than the whole.
Please do not allow this tragedy to be mistaken for what it was, domestic terrorism. Personal beliefs do not make killers out of average people.Do not allow the “politically correct” try to make it less than what we know to be true, this soldier knew what he was about to do and planned an attack, plain and simple.
I have family who have served in the Middle East, and may be deployed again. War is hell, no doubt.

My deep sympathies to the loved ones of these victims.
I am truly appalled by the behaviors of this Army Major. This man was trusted with the responsibility of the mental health of MY Army….those brave individuals fighting for MY freedoms and MY country.

These heinous activities are what can happen when we look the other way for benefit of “political correctness.”
While our freedoms allow such expression, these expressions should never be at the expense of others.
It is imperitive that we fix this.
Sincerely

Składam wyrazy kondolencji dla poległych w tej bezprecedensowej tragedii. Jak widać walka z myślowym zacofaniem i fundamentalizmem musi trwać nadal, bo inaczej wygrają ją osobnicy pokroju tego mordercy. Pani sierżant Kimberley Munley to prawdziwa Bohaterka i przykład wzorowego żołnierza

To my friends and family: my thoughts and prayers are with all of you. We left Ft Hood a month ago, and can’t wait to come home.
I’m in no way surprised at the way everything was handled so quickly and efficiently, Hood isn’t known as “The Great Place” for nothing. I’m so proud of all of you.
Hasan is not a terrorist, he’s a traitor, which is by far worse. I hope his punishment is swift and severe.

RIP heroes you have done what others could not, you will be in our hearts forever. And to the wounded, God Bless you with a speedy recovery.

God bless the men and women killed by the terrorist at Ft. Hood.

General Casey should be booted out of the U.S. Military on his ares for stating that loosing soldiers is less important than loosing diversity. What PC hogwash.

Go back to Japan sir, you were born there. Look at the Japanese. They are successful because they are Japanese.

We are successful because we’re Americans. Not some hyphenated pseudo-intellectual name.

No wonder you got fired from Iraq.
