When you have a General who lacks the common sense to realize there is no way in hell one man with two pistols could kill 11 and wound 31 you have a General who will lead our soldiers to slaughter.

Um, how many did the lone shooter at Virginia Tech shoot and kill and wound????? There were 32 dead (33 including the shooter) and 23 injured. There is a way one man can do that much carnage. Not to excuse the General giving out reports that were not accurate, but the argument on this issue is not supported.

Virginia Tech had kids hiding under desks (like a duck shoot) These were seasoned combat troops - big difference.

Dude,
in high school and college shootings, you have scared kids running and hiding, and school/small town/college PD’s have orders to WAIT for SWAT...even thought kids are dying......IN this case, you have dozens of battle hardened GI’s which are used to firefights and can easily tackle one assailant...you are telling me that no one tried to incapacitate the assailant? We are talking a physician (they usually are exempt from PT...the guy looked out of shape anyway, they usually do not spend much time shooting or in the field either...

one man with an arsenal and not an armed defender in sight, comparing VA tech with what has been alledged in this case to date is not apples to oranges, its apples to cumquats.

1 guy with 2 pistols, on a military base with trained and armed soldiers, military and civilian guards, I am not remotely believing pulled this off single handed.... This just doesn’t pass the smell test to me at all.
