bbk 188 Posted February 3, 2013 It's already said they wanna target vets. Well here is a prime example thy can plaster all over. I don't know about that. If accusations are true, that the former Mr. Kyle was conducting an outreach program for Vets with PTSD, and that the suspect is a Marine with PTSD-- this reflects poorly on the leadership. For the same reason why suicides across the services (notably in combat zones and those coming back from combat zones) has risen dramatically; and also for the same reasons of why PTSD is not really taken that seriously by the core leadership within said leadership and even with the VA. Remember that it was the leadership that denied wholeheartedly to award Purple Hearts for PTSD. Heck, personally, going back to when I had separated (2008), PTSD still wasn't taken that seriously. The whole unit had quarterly briefs, but there was no real standardized training for NCOs on what to look for when assessing. Maybe its a machismo thing, but PTSD is a legit issue that is still ignored as much as the case of rape within the ranks is these days. And because of that, the powers that be will probably sweep it all under the rug and blame all of this on something else (like gun violence), but not necessarily use this to target vets... because if they do that, they are essentially legitimizing the argument that gun violence has more to do with access compared to the actuality of violence that the presence of guns purport. To me, this is essentially the same argument that has been made in many cases, notably with the Newtown tragedy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keroberos 0 Posted February 3, 2013 A lot of people are asking about the shooting earlier today in Glen Rose. Here is info from WFAA. BREAKING: Sources tell News 8 that Chris Kyle, the deadliest sniper in the U.S. with 255 confirmed kills, was murdered tonight along with another man at a gun range in Glen Rose, Texas. Sources said Kyle and the other victim were helping a 25-year-old former Marine recover from PTSD when the suspect turned the gun on them shooting them both at point blank range. The suspect is in custody in Lancaster right now. Kyle is the author of "American Sniper" a New York Times best selling book. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
