I met a friend the other day
somebody I had not seen in over twenty years.

He was an ROTC cadet back then. I was a young medic.

We were both going, we are doing our duty.

He spent 22 years in the army... I spent ten years as a medic.

He retired just recently as a full bird... I left after disobeying an illegal order as an O-3.

Wars... we both hate war in a way that most people who have never been there done that will ever comprehend. Neither of us wants to hear an AK or an M-16 or any other gun ever again.

So what you guys are seeing is the chickens that are coming home...

That is all.

And I still stand by this, we do not know yet if this is a plot or not... two or more will a conspiracy make, Two suspects have been released, a third arrested... so this goes on.

1. And Quite Frankly

We should probably be skeptical of every reported aspect of this highly controversial and sensational story. It may have happened exactly as reported or may on fact be nothing like it.

Thanks for yr POV NB, always appreciated.

2. In the back of my head I still have Militias
and even if it is terrorism... I bet they will NEVER EVER admit to it. Hell, we have never had any terror in the US... oh never mind McVeigh and OKC...

And this guy may have just snapped... chickens and roosts...
