U.S. Soldier Kills Five in Shooting at Base in Iraq

Quote :

An American soldier killed five other troops inside a psychological counseling center in Baghdad on Monday, the bloodiest case of military fratricide since the start of the Iraq war six years ago.

The victims were killed at a "combat stress clinic" at Camp Liberty, a sprawling American base near Baghdad's international airport. The shooter was taken into military custody after the shootings, but officials in Iraq declined to identify the soldier or speculate about his possible motive.

This is just so sad.

Combat isn't for every body... Too bad the military, or any organization for that matter, police, firemen, postal workers can't truly gauge a persons snapping point...

Very true...if only we could know.
