When
men and women sign up to serve in the Military, they do not dream of having to
protect themselves from citizens. This latest shooting at Fort Hood Texas has
to be the last straw.
All
military volunteers should be able to carry a weapon on base. It is sad that we
have to protect ourselves from violent citizens. It is one thing to go to a
foreign country and lose your life by terrorists, but when it is in our own
country then something is drastically wrong.
The
reports’ of the recent killings done by a young man who was unstable seems to
say that we do not want to hear the truth. I have two questions; was no one
paying attention to his behavior or body language? If so, then was a Psychiatrist
wrong in his or her diagnosis and did the family members simply not want to
face the agony of a mentally ill son/brother?
I
was not there so I can only question myself on what would make a man, or woman
for that matter, do something like this. Where did this person lose it and why
did no one notice!
When
the mentally disturbed go untreated, then shootings or an abusive attitude will
always succeed. Doctors and family members, (who would rather turn away than
face the inevitable), must share the blame for murderers who can only handle
their problems and difficulties through violence.
Could
his problem come from childhood as a parent may have preached violence for
those who are different? How can we as a society not learn why some children
grow up to be abusers, murderers, rapists and pedophiles?
There
must be a solution somewhere! Maybe it should be with the Military doctors,
Congress, etc. We the citizens, whether in the Military or civilians, must be
allowed to arm ourselves in our home and on the street to protect ourselves, children,
and if need be others, from those who wish to do the human race harm.
Please
wake up America! Start making those we elected do the right thing. For only you
and I can put a somewhat halt to these terrible things from happening.
