2009 Perspective VII

As most of you know, I am currently serving in the U.S. Army. As some of you may know, I am stationed at Fort Hood, Texas. And, as I am sure all of you know by now, Fort Hood was the scene of a tragic mass murder on Thursday.
My unit was out in the field conducting some training when we received the phone call to get 100% accountability of all of our people and that Fort Hood was on lock down. Not really knowing what was going on, we complied with the accountability order and waited for details. Then, the details started trickling in.
When something like this happens, it shocks. When something like this happens, it touches everyone, as a human and as an American. Here we are, the greatest nation on Earth (if you are from a nation other than the U.S., I apologize for this seemingly arrogant statement, but in my opinion, it is 100% accurate), with the greatest military ever seen, and now we are reacting to one of our own slaying us. It's a difficult thing to understand and to grasp.
Most of you have probably heard the details by now. Fort Hood, which is the largest military post in the country, lost 13 Soldiers during the incident, with another 31 wounded. What a tragic day.
The alleged shooter, a psychologist working with soldiers here on the post, is currently in a coma after being shot. There is still no known motivation behind the shooting, but there is a lot of speculation out there. I won't speculate myself, and I won't jump to any conclusions, but we are still waiting for the real story behind why a commissioned officer (a Major if you understand the Army's rank structure), a doctor with an oath to do no harm, and a soldier sworn to defend the U.S. Constitution and to live the Army Values would do such a thing.
More importantly, though, are some of the stories just starting to emerge. Soldiers running into the chaos multiple times, trying to help the wounded and lead others to safety. Two soldiers, in the middle of their college graduation ceremony at the theater next door, ran - wearing their graduation gowns - into the shooting site and brought out more wounded. Meanwhile, other soldiers outside the building were loading up the wounded into their personal vehicles, fully loading them, which includes pickup truck beds, and speeding their way to the hospital.
It's amazing the reactions of soldiers in a time of crisis. Soldiers, who are preparing to leave for war or are home from war, suddenly were facing a situation no one could have seen coming. Unarmed and unprepared, they were suddenly under fire. What was their reaction? Help others. Suddenly, soldiers were helping soldiers. It became more important to help their buddies than it did to help themselves.
One female soldier carried a wounded soldier out of the building. She then turned and ran back in, bringing out another two wounded soldiers. As she was running back into the building, the EMS personnel finally stopped her. She was bleeding from her arm and leg, where she had been shot. She didn't care. She wanted to help others.
The mental, physical, and emotional toughness of the soldiers serving the United States is amazing. I am currently in command of over 125 of the finest people I will ever meet. Every day, I realize how lucky I am to be in this position. I have been given the responsibility to train, prepare, and lead soldiers in combat. I have seen firsthand the ability of Soldiers to react to a situation and do things I would not have thought possible.
I know this is a Miami Dolphins blog and we are all looking forward to the game this week against New England, but I ask you to please take a moment and remember our men and women in uniform. Say a prayer for the families of those we lost here Thursday and those who were wounded in the fire. Don't forget to think about the soldiers affected by losing friends and colleagues. Really, that's my perspective for this week.
In a time of war, we expect to lose soldiers. It's the price of war, and, while devastating every time we lose a single life, it's at least understandable.
When soldiers are at home, on a military installation, it's hard to rationalize the loss of 13 of our nation's finest.
May God Bless them, their Families, all of our soldiers, and America.

I certainly don't have the words, but...........thank you, all of you, in every branch of our milatary, for all you do !
My heart goes out to the families of those who where wounded & those who are no longer with us.
It makes me wonder about the evil in some men’s heart & the desire to hold what one call dear close as ever.
Again, thank you for everything you do !!

I hope that when you retire from the Army, you elect to become a writer. You have helped to put a human touch to this tragic story. Thank you for your perspective.
I, as a veteran of the Army, simply can not understand what happened. I would have not been as terribly surprised if this had happened when I was in the Army (1972-73) with all the very public opposition to Vietnam, and the denigration we vets received at that time. I do not care if one agrees with the war (at the time) or not, we all should hold our serving military members and veterans with the utmost respect.
I hope all the victims families are able to find a measure of peace. I know that they are all very proud of the soldiers lost. All of the heroes you mention deserve special recognition.
I simply do not know what else to say.
Thank you and take care there.

Thanks for sharing this with the entire SB Nation community
What happened at Fort Hood is a horrific tragedy. Just when you’re wondering how the hell someone can go and do such a heinous act, you start hearing the feel good stories of people helping others in need — like this fine soldier has done for us here today. Grace prevails.
Thoughts and prayers go out to those soldiers, their families and friends affected by what happened on Thursday at Fort Hood. And to all the soldiers, thank you for serving our country!
Thanks again for sharing this, Matty I.

That's the first one I have seen Mosul
Congrats brother. As an active duty Marine with 20+ years in, that has been over to the “middle east” theater of operations several times, I was completely blown away by the initial news. To go to war several times (Desert Shield/Storm, Somalia, Bosnia, OIF, OEF), I rarely paused to consider an attack on our home base by one of our own. Make no mistake, I am waiting for them to attempt to attack our base at home, just not by one of our own. Now me personally, my first question to my wife when she called me was “Is the shooter Muslim”. Alot of people may frown at that, but I am a realist and when you have been dealing with this line of work for 20 years, you know stuff that most of America doesn’t want to know. It kills me to learn that this could have probably been prevented if we were just a little more awake behind the wheel. I am not trying to play a blame game because it doesn’t do a damn bit of good. My point to my reply people is this.
PAY ATTENTION. You might think that something that you hear isn’t significant but please face reality. We are at war with people that hate what we stand for. Not all Muslims are bad and not all Muslims are the enemy, but the extremist are! Make no mistake, they will do anything necessary to further their cause. Most of the time the enemies reveal themselves verbally or through subtle actions. When you hear someone say something like the Major was saying, please let someone know! You aren’t doing anything wrong. You are being a responsible citizen. Maybe it isn’t anything, but imagine later on if something like this happens, or something else different but similar happens and you realize you heard something that could have prevented the tragedy, how would you feel?
The scariest part of this for me was that all my wife said was that there was a shooting on a base in Texas and 11 servicemen were killed and 31 others were wounded. That was scarey to me because my son is in the Air Force and stationed in Texas and as much as I try to put the Marine hat on, the Dad hat always overturns the Marine hat. I was relieved to find out that it wasn’t his base. You always think of the worse when something like this happens.

Great write up Mosul.
I actually did not know that you were stationed at Fort Hood until I read this. It’s one thing to hear details about events like this on the news, and quite another to hear details from someone who was actually there. Reading your descriptions of the way the soldiers were doing everything to help the wounded made my heart swell with pride that those are the kind of people who are serving our country.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all the people affected by this horrific tragedy. And for all our soldiers, God bless you and thank you for all that you do.

Thank you for writing this. This was a very disappointing and tragic, terrorist attack on our military and country. Your write-up brings the incident in closer to home as we now know more of what actually happened there. I have the utmost respect for the military and you guys have my support 100%.

No, luckily my own Soldiers were not present when this started
Unfortunately, hundreds of Soldiers were. When you consider the numbers of people on this post (again, the largets in the nation), and the numbers of Soldiers that work, live, and travel in that specific portion of the post, this could have been even more tragic than it already is.

…just to have the chance to read your post this week. It is because of brave men and women like yourself that we have the luxury of following our favorite football teams and blogging in our free time. We should never have to qualify the statement that this is the greatest nation on earth, because it is, pure and simple. You are a fine example of what makes this country so great. As more stories filter in about what happened during this awful tragedy, and the way these young men and women responded in the face of grave danger, I become more and more proud. Thank you, Mosul, for your service, your sacrifice, and your wonderful insight.

You’re account of what happened has made this more than just a news headline that grabs a persons attention from 1500 miles away for a few days. Your words have added a human element that gave me goosebumps, and have placed this story in a place in my mind that I wont forget it. RIP to those 13 unfortunate but good, brave defenders of our country. And a very deep thank you to the soldiers who dropped everything they were doing and put themselves in harms way to remove others from harm. Men and women like that are what make this country great, god bless all of them.

good job mosul.
i think someone said it best up in the thread when they said you have a great way of putting a human touch on things. I have heard the reports on tv, and the statistics of dead and wounded. But to hear what was really happening, what people were really doing on the ground, makes me so much more proud to be a soldier.
The people who fight to our left and right are our buddies. A buddy is so much more than a friend, it is someone who will keep you alive, whether that means mentally or physically. At times, you wil need both. God bless everyone who acted instinctually that day. God bless the families of the dead and wounded, and GOD BLESS AMERICA.

Great post. As much as we love football and the Miami Dolphins, there are some things that are just more importan and some times where we need to step aside and really put things in perspective. So many of us will never know so much of the bravery, courage and honor of the men and women serving us. They are among the greatest county on Earth’s elite. We are forever indebted to them for their service, may God bless the families of the victims, our armed forces and God bless America.

Awesome post brother!
My prayers to the soldiers that lost there lives, the ones still recovering and all the friends and families affected by this tragedy. I have never never been in the military myself but growing up an Air Force brat I have always had the upmost respect for those that put their lives on the line for the rest of us every day. Thank you Mosul for your personal perspective on this horrible tragedy. I am always amazed and heartened by stories such as this where in the light of such a selfish, hateful act so many others step up and act heroically and selfless. I actually stopped off in Dallas yesterday to donate blood as so much had been sent down from the DFW area to Temple to help the injured. I encourage any of the rest of you out there that live here in Texas to do the same. Its a small gesture but every little bit helps and may just save a life.

Sir
Know that my prayers go out to those families that have lost their dearly beloved. It is always a shock when tragedies such as this occur. My brother is a Marine (4th year inactive) and I could not imagine if he had died in Iraq, let alone here at home. Thank you for this post! God bless you and the families of the lost!
As Abraham Lincoln (who happens to be my favorite president) said:
“I pray that Our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of [your] their bereavement, and leave only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be [yours] theirs to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the Altar of Freedom.”

Thanks Mosul!! I am glad you brought out the embedded heroism within this tragedy...
Everyone should remember the troops on Wednesday (Veteran’s Day), and every day. We are a country at war, which becomes real easy to forget in the comforts and security of our beloved country. The heroism displayed at Fort Hood is a fraction of what is displayed by our troops around the world on a daily basis.
I am transitioning out of the military now, already second guessing that one, but have great pride in the service and will definitely enter into the reserves.
It has been a pleasure to serve with fine gentleman and warriors like yourself.
Cheers!

ACT OF TERRORISM
Let’s call it what it is folks. All indications now are pointing to this being a case of homegrown terrorism. This was an Act of Terrorism, and of course the Obama administration refuses to call a spade a spade.. The terrorist is now awake & talking so the plain truth will be obvious for all Americans to see..
My sincere condolences to families of the brave men & women of Ft. Hood.

that did cross my mind
but i am not so sure it is…some people just have some serious mental issues especially military personnel that have just returned from war, and one thing can set them off…i’m leaning more towards the mental health issue, cause usually that’s what these shooting sprees turn out to be, the shooter was suffering from some mental illness and someone did something to set them off…
MOSUL,
does everyone have weapons there?

We have weapons but they are locked in an arms room in the unit
No one is issued it and/or ammo unless they are going to a range.
The shooter had two hand guns with him, bith his personal weapons.
Also, he had not deployed…ever.

I will hesitate to bring politics into my comment
Because the political rift is alot of what’s at fault with our country. We are so busy trying to blame the “other” party for something, instead of trying to work in the best interest of the voters who put them there in the first place. That being said, I will completely agree with you on the ACT OF TERRORISM. Call it what you may, but that’s what I call it. I don’t have the benefit of being politically correct or worrying about how people may view my opinion. Instead, I chose to combat those efforts and have done so for the past 20 years. We appreciate the support but please instead of taking verbal jabs at either party, do something that fixes the problems of the country instead of dividing it further.

I personally don't care why he did it
Motive has no particular meaning to me, the fact of the matter is that he murdered a hell of a lot of people. Really, I hope the military would cover up anything he had to do with Al Qaeda, because acknowledging their hand in this really means that they won. Their goal is to make us fear them. And now we do again.

I don't know that you want to cover it up
Most of America doesn’t really view terrorism as a real threat anymore. Nothing has happened in 8 years or so…..and like they say, out of sight out of mind. We need to fear them and know that they are real and be willing to take more of a stand to stop them. They view us as weak and not willing to dig in for the long haul. Realize that many of these people grew up fighting constantly as far back as the 70’s and definitely through the 80’s with the Soviet Union’s threat. They are willing to do anything and everything it takes to win but really doubt that we are. Most of America thinks that if we just ignore them, they will go away. I can guarantee you that nothing is further from the truth.
Covering it up, while not causing fear would give them more ammunition to try harder. It would confirm their views of us as weak and not having the heart to fight them. They would relish in that small victory and use it as tool for recruitment.
I guess either way you look at it, you are damned if you do and damned if you don’t, I just have always been a black and white guy. Keep the truth as the truth and be willing to stand up and go to battle for what you believe is right.
