By any chance was his new name Mohammed Islam or is the propaganda machine once again playing “filter the news”?

“Decorated” you say? Those are both ribbons EVERYONE gets at the end of basic training, IIRC. If he’d had any commendation medals or higher, then I’d agree with the headline. The press know nearly nothing about the armed forces, because they’d never think of serving and probably don’t have any friends that did, either.

“revealed to have a prior arrest for letting a gun off that could have harmed his neighbor while he cleaned his own weapon at home in Fort Worth, Texas, 2010.

Despite the lack of acknowledged motive, one U.S. official has been quoted as saying Alexis was kicked out of the Navy in 2011 for ‘misconduct’ as a direct result of his gun arrest three years ago. “

remedial math might help

The headline doesn’t match the body of the article. The NDS and GWOT take a pulse and being present during the prescribed timeframe. I also wonder about his separation being due to an accidental discharge at his home. I am guessing there is more to that story.

He was awarded the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal and the National Defense Service Medal prior to his discharge in January 2011.

Decorated? LOL.

A 3rd Class Petty Officer is basically the START of your career, once you have your rate. (Specific job)

You usually get to be a third class once you finish C school or you strike on the job.

He was a low level guy.... E-4

That is not "decorated". Everyone who served in Iraq or Afghanistan or elsewhere got those after 9/11, if they performed "administrative, logistics, planning, operational, technical, or readiness activity" related to the "war on terror".

The media knows nothing. We’ll find out what and who in about three weeks. Meanwhile the MSM will be going nuts trying to tie the guy to either the Tea Party or Rush Limbaugh and Conservatism.

speculation is growing his dismissal from the U.S. Navy for 'misconduct' in January 2011 may have inspired him to commit a deadly revenge.

What a shocker...

My ex-son-in-law was demoted more then he was promoted. He told his wife (my daughter) that he was going to shoot up his (Coast Guard) base.

She immediately reported it. Nothing was done.

That was about 3 yrs ago.

This past May, he was finally given the boot....he wasn’t allowed to re-enlist.

He moved with his parents in his home state but then moved back...lose the base.

His mother told my daughter that he’s in a bad way mentally.

He had given her a hand gun and when she left him, she took it with her. She was visiting with his parents and the father-in-law took it and gave it back to his son, so he has a gun.

To my knowledge, the CG did nothing...they probably dismissed it as a lie from an angry wife.
