Grenade attack

[daveleau]

The grenade attack today in Kuwait on the Airborne troops' command tent that wounded 11 seriously and 2 to 5 others was perpetrated by a US soldier. Supposedly he is being investigated currently. He is said to be motivated by resentment. It was also reported that the Sergeant is an American of Muslim descent. If he was a type of sleeper agent, I pray that there are not others. It appears that 4 grenades were missing from storage and it has been reported that he rolled 3 of them into the tent.

From this, it is important to be cautious and always vigilant because you never know where an attack will come from. Also, it is also important not to focus any ill-will on Muslims in general.

Dave,

True we ought not blame muslims. This guy should receive a bullet in the head though.

The Army should do a better job of screening out extremeists. A very sad event, I hope all recover well.

How do you do that?
Grill each and every person to the point that they crack and start showing their 'true colors' !?
That would alienate more people than anything, doing more harm than good. These things have happened since the beginning of time
I'm sure most of the people he was associated with would tell you he seemed to be a pretty easy going guy etc etc as is usually the case.

The action is still alleged towards the soldier, so we'll see what further evidence comes of it.

Good points vass, Lee Harvey Oswald and Timothy McViegh were also ex-US military. You'll always have dissent in various forms, besides even thou this individual has confessed to the attack his motive is still not known. He could have done this for any number of reasons.

CID will investigate and bring charges under the UCMJ.

Does the military hang em or use firing squad now??

Edit: it now seems it was not an Arab but a US solder converted to Moslem.

He should be court marshaled and executed for this unspeakable act. His own country men, and fellow service men. Why?
