Ft Hood

I am so saddened by this terrible shooting. Our men and women accept the dangers of protecting us and this great country, never realizing that it is so dangerous right here in their own home base. While I was listening to this unfold, I heard they were calling police and swat, and the thought that went through my head was 'this is a huge base with many well trained soldiers, why can't they get a sniper to take the shooter out, why do they need to wait for outside sources.' Then I find out the shooter is military, not some outsider, but one of their own that they know and work with and trusted.
I wonder, when these men and women deploy, how will they trust the soldier next to them after this?
