Also, it wouldn't surprise if it were ex-military. Like law enforcement, the military attracts some real cowboys.

That was an insulting thing to say about the military. Sounds like you have a real prejudice there. During the Clinton administration a lot of immigrants from Muslim countries were allowed to join the military to get their citizenship. I had a student from Senegal whose Senegalise father was Muslim and in the army. He was married to a black American woman and the marriage eventually broke up. I heard later that the guy was in some kind of trouble. Interesting that they lived in Woodbridge, VA. There are a lot of soldiers, unfortunately, from foreign countries that shouldn't be serving in our Army. Just don't be insulting the military as a whole. That is disgusting.

I'm not insulting the military; I'm questioning if a military individual might be involved in this.

FOXNEWS is now confirming that a former Ft. Lewis soldier lived in one of the duplexes, behind which the search for shell casings is taking place.

Also, Ft. Lewis brass have been asked to cooperate with the FBI, and they say they will.

There are nut cases in every walk of life. Why would it surprise you if there are a few in the military?

Tim McVeigh was ex-military, and he killed 168 fellow Americans.

Here is an example....FBI targets black Muslims in anti-terrorist watch

 The two [Ujaama] brothers, along with others under scrutiny, worshiped at several now-defunct storefront mosques just east of downtown Seattle that have been tied to Semi Osman [who lived in Tacoma], an immigrant of apparent Lebanese origin, who served as an imam, or prayer leader.
Osman, 32, is a car mechanic and U.S. Navy reservist
and is the only person known to have been arrested in the inquiry. He was charged with immigration and gun violations, but his attorney, Robert M. Leen, said the government is pressuring Osman to tell all about former acquaintances as part of the terrorism investigation.
