As the Smoke Clears from the Fort Hood Massacre

This is a follow-up blog post to my most recent on on the Fort Hood Killings. Once again, the article my post is based on can be found on the title.
As new information continues to unfold, the killings have been attributed to an army psychiatrist named Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan. He was soon to be deployed to Iraq before the shooting occurred.
Hasan was reported dead at first but as reports are now coming in, he is still living.
Obama stated, "It's difficult enough when we lose these brave Americans in battles overseas," and that "It is horrifying that they should come under fire at an Army base on American soil." I completely agree with this statement. I did mention this in my other post but I will reiterate that these soldiers should not be faced with any type of danger when they are home and in their own base. There is still yet to be a motive and so I will hold judgments on Hasan's actions until then, but I will say that regardless of motive what he did was wrong and unforgivable.
As events continue to unfold, I want to know how America will respond to this act of violence and what new information will be revealed to the public. What do you think will be the next big news on this topic?

A Sad day for for the Armed Forces

Today I was shocked to discover that 12 soldiers were killed in dual shootings at the Fort Hood army base in Texas. One shooter was killed while two other suspects were recently caught. For a more detailed depiction of what occurred, I embedded a link in my title.
When I hear news like this, I shiver. I may be against war but the soldiers who fight for this country should never be targeted by hate crimes like this if this even is a hate crime at all. The shooter's motives were not revealed but whatever they are I am certain that they were not just causes.
What should be done to prevent further shootings like this? Was this a political statement? Was it more personal? What do you think of this travesty?
