A Sad Day for the Military.
Two service members were lost today.

One was a vicitm of domestic terriorism, killed in a drive-by murder at a recruiting station in Little Rock, Ak.

The other, Lt.Col. Victor Fehrenbach, a victim of Congressional mandated homophobia and discrimination, was forced out of the Air Force against his will after being outed by a civilian.

(Both of these stories were carried on CNN today. The statement about why Lt Col Fehrenbach is being discharged is my opinion, not CNN's.)

4. Any word on the suspect in Arkansas?
I hesitate to call it domestic terrorism at this time due to a lack of information.

If it was a war protester that killed him, yeah.

It could just as easily have been a recruit who has returned home with PTSD, though.

6. CNN's discussing it now.
Rick Sanchez is reporting on it now. Haven't heard about motive yet, but Pentagon is looking into it.
