Anybody else hear about the fact that according to Roanoke County Circuit court records, he'd obtained a concealed carry (CCW) permit in 1996?

Everybody stopped, fell silent, and watched them with dread. And sometimes they stopped at my friends' houses. So you can just shove your Hollywood crap, and STFU. You are unworthy of your son.

Some feelings are simply beyond words.</i> Um, do you actually have any experience with this, or are you just regurgitating what you've seen in movies. Hint, life is somewhat different. And before you idiots start with your self-hagiography, I have a son in the military. My feelings, though complicated about the risks he's taken and the method that he was shanghaid into the service at 17, I certainly wouldn't compare my feelings to Saving Private Ryan or any other film. That's the stupidest thing I could imagine doing. Maybe that's why all you idiots continue to support these wars long after they're revealed to be a farce, you're only connection to reality is hollywood.

That's not the way we roll with our own. I know such a thing wouldn't be accepted in the Navy wardrooms. I refuse to believe that the Army is any different (except for during the week leading up to the Army-Navy game, in which I will believe even the worst slander against the Army). I also refuse to believe that a Major hadn't yet reconciled himself to deployment. He's been in the Army since before 9/11. If he was that conflicted, he should have gotten the hell out. Even before I heard about his postings and all the other evidence, this was enough to convince me that Jihad was the most likely reason for this. All the rest of the evidence still supports that. As for those who don't believe that one can be a good Muslim and a good American, I must disagree. Christians have long understood that our own scriptures were written in a different time, with different needs. We are to follow the intent and the timeless principles, even if the details must change. I believe the islamic world can, and should do the same. I have known American Muslims (one of whom I had the privilege of working with during my stint at the shipyard in Newport News) who have done so, with their own beliefs. I'm sure most of the Muslims who bear arms for our nation also have done so. The real problem is, this reconciliation has not become a big movement, in the same way the Protestant Reformation had (no, that's not a slap at the Catholics, but rather an illustration of how big of a split would be needed). If we really want to defeat radical islam, we need to have somewhere for the modern muslim to go. Radical islam would then wither on the vine. Any of y'all have an idear on how to make that happen?

He told associates he was a Muslim first, an American second, and this put him against a war in Iraq or Afghanistan. But his anti-war emotion called for violent action, He likened suicide bombers to self-sacrificing military protecting their buddies. Why wasn't he on a watch list? Wake up, America.
