Letters: It was just plain terror, not the 'toll of war'

YOU'VE done veterans and your readers a massive disservice by your left-wing approach in your editorial "A Veteran's Day Even Sadder Than Most."

When an armed soldier screams "Allah Akhbar" and goes on a shooting rampage, it is no different from thousands of other terrorist acts perpetrated by Muslim terrorists in Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Lebanon, Spain and many other countries.

You are perpetuating a great lie when you try to blame it on the "rising psychic toll of war."

No, it's about Islamic terrorism.

Yankel Gorokhofskij, Radnor

Does anyone know for sure that hasan screamed "Allah Akhbar?" I have not seen any reports that he did. While his religion may be part of it, I don't believe that was the sole reason for hasan's rage.

This man does not deserve a trial, he should be put in front of a firing squad and shot by the families of the dead service men and woman. If they won't do it, I will volunteer.

You can always count on the simple-minded righties in times like these to demonstrate absolute ignorance and gross reactionary cowardice. Nope - can't be the fallout of wars, nope not their precious, macho-necessary wars. This is learned behavior (most likely from Fox and right wing hate radio) Way to represent, EHRRELK!!

mike l >>> Let's hope that Major Hasan's vocal cords weren't blown away during the massacre. Maybe Major Hasan was shot in his office, dragged to the scene of the massacre and armed with "dropped" weapons. This certainly has the elements of an "NCIS" episode...(lol)
