Holy crap. We have more posts today than for most of the previous week but the first thread I open up to read is this one and BAM! Where to begin?

For starters, welcome to the forums, TicToc. An unfortunate start to your time with us here but let's make a fresh start, eh? How about you go to the "Introducing myself" thread (http://forum.juhlin.com/showthread.php?t=2698) and tell us a bit about yourself. I take it you've spent some time in Afghanistan? We value combat experience here, I for one would be interested in your input on military matters.

The moderators here prefer to keep only a light hand on conversations and generally that's fine as posters here tend to show respect for one another. If you have a serious problem with something someone has posted perhaps you might consider contacting the poster personally in a private message? Or contact a moderator and we'll take a look at the situation. Jumping feet-first into verbal combat mode in open forum isn't generally very constructive.

Just a reminder, if you post something here that has been cut and pasted from another published source it really needs attribution. In this case Fusilier seems to have found the source of the OP's post. So the original author is the person you probably should be upset with, TT, not the OP. Really the OP's only mistake was not to cite the source of his posted quote. Off-topic threads are welcome and old hands here usually put OT at the start of the thread title to make it clear that it isn't part of the general T2K and gaming discussion.

I'm a bit confused by your "I hate Americans train" comment, ArmySGT. I'm hoping it was intended as tongue-in-cheek. The comments in this thread preceding that weren't particularly anti-American IMO. I'm guessing most or all of the members here would be anti-shooting civilians though. I gotta tell you man, for me personally, if I hated Americans in general I wouldn't be a moderator here.

Other than that, I agree with the posts by Webstral and Badbru. The mass shooting of women and children anywhere in the world is a very sad event.
