The suspect in a shooting that left six people dead at a Sikh temple in suburban Milwaukee on Sunday has been identified as Wade Michael Page, who served in the U.S. Army for about six years.
According to sources in the U.S. Army, Page enlisted in April 1992 and given a less-than-honorable discharge in October 1998. He served at Fort Bliss, Texas, in the psychological operations unit in 1994, and was last stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, attached to the psychological operations unit. The details of his discharge were not immediately clear.
Wade was killed outside the temple in a shootout with police officers after the rampage that left terrified congregants hiding in closets and others texting friends outside for help.
Officials had previously described the suspect as a heavy-set, 40-year-old Caucasian with numerous tattoos.
Sources tell CBS News some unspecified evidence suggests race or ethnicity may have played a role in the violence, but no links to extremist groups have been confirmed.
Local police called the attack an act of domestic terrorism, but other sources tell CBS News correspondent Bob Orr it may be more accurate to refer to "an investigation into a possible hate crime."
Neither the local nor the federal sources provided further details or suggested a possible motive, including whether the suspect specifically targeted the Sikh temple.

Oh come on now....Seriously you know what I meant. Sheesh. No benefit of the doubt on my statement. You 100 percent understand what I was saying.
There ARE no Sikhs in Middle East, for practical purposes.
2/3 live in India, with the largest communities outside India in UK, USA and Canada.

Sad, but most likely explanation is the idiot doesn't know how to tell one variety of raghead from another. Thought he was attacking those responsible for Islamist terrorism. To the extent he was thinking at all.

You left out the part about the active duty muslim screaming 'Alahu Ahkbar' while engaging in workplace violence.
I meant to say NBC and Brian Ross (it was a joke).
I meant to say ABC and Brian Ross (it was a joke).
Oh, OK. Sorry I didn’t catch that.
I bit the big one that time!
I saw that later. Sorry to go off on you, but after Brian Ross pointed the blame at the innocent guy, I’ve been sort of touchy about false accusations. Heck, it could be one of us under the MSM microscope.
Wrong. The man was discharged in 1998 most likely admin under- chapter 13 for a fast out. An unfit SOB who takes up his 1SGT’s and CPT’s time is finally gone, but; it is up to division or Corps CG’s as to a court martial or the faster admin discharge. I threw some 10 plus out on that damn chapter 13 in 73 and it was all because the CG was in a hurry to give the druggies a chance. Well, they are costing us today as a chapter 13 general discharge can be upgraded. Most go on to get VA bennies after upgrading the discharge.
>>>Sikhs believe in the principle of non-violence.
Yes, and they have history of taking revenge.
Strike 4: It’s been reported that he just broke up with his girlfriend; we know he’s straight.
While what you say seems to be precisely the case, doesn't it seem totally ridiculous ?
It's not that we don't know how a beard grows or why. And it's not that we don't know how to remove it. I'd say if you are in prison, razors are hard to come by.
The judge telling him he can't have a beard is just the oddest thing I have ever heard.
Am I missing out on some upside down world reason the court has ?
He is still receiving active duty pay. :scream: That is my guess as to why he can’t have a beard.
Morning Prayer?
There is nothing about Army PSYOPS that requires a high GT score . Army General testing score is close to IQ.In fact a 138 GT score in 65-66 makes one qualified for MENSA. Not that many have 138’s-142’s and over.
In short you cannot equate army PSYOPS EM or officers with a degree in Neuro Science.
He will be clean-shaven for his verdict.
He will be shaved.
If you look at him, it makes way more sense to believe he’s a white supremist than a muslim extremist.
