Self-Inflicted Casualties
By Lt Col P
An ugly day in Baghdad:
A U.S. soldier opened fire on coalition forces attending a stress clinic at a military base outside of Baghdad International Airport Monday, and at least five were killed, the Pentagon and U.S. Command said.It was unclear how many U.S. soldiers were killed in the shooting at Camp Liberty, but a defense official said the shooter is alive and in custody. Three were wounded, but it was not immediately clear if the shooter was one of them.
Pentagon officials first indicated that an Army soldier shot the others and then turned the gun on himself.
It would have been better for him if "first indications" proved to be true...

Tragic... to say the least.
Regretful and Tragic,
But in all honesty it is a testament to good small unit leadership that we have not seen more of these incidences after many years of continuous conflict.
Your site is very good. There are useful information and most importantly, for sharing great. Thank you
