Welcome to Our Hoosier Board!

Most of the posters here have been around for nearly a decade now. You'll find their knowledge and insight to be second to none. We have a really strong community and value everyone's opinions.

Feel free to jump into any thread and voice your opinion with conviction. We love heated debates and even some fanbase ribbing from time to time. We pride ourselves on the lack of moderation needed to make this board successful.

Please remember that we have been around many years and have an astute ability to tell the difference between an immature, childish, trash-talking troll and a passionate fan voicing his or her opinion. It is at the discretion of Jazen and myself whether any moderating actions should be taken at any given time. It's a very, very rare thing. In other words, no worries....you'll be fine!

Cheers,
sirbrianwilson

Damn it.
Absolute insanity.

Some unconfirmed reports that it was a shootout between civilians that was then intervened by police. I'm not sure whether that would make this crazier or not.

I haven't heard anything that indicated that it started as a shootout between civilians.

One suspect has been killed, two others could be at large.

Some witnesses reporting the shooting started (possibly from a robbery) before police arrived.

So they're reporting it was another former military person.

Anyone thinks this speaks a bit to the way our veterans are service personnel are treated when their service is over? I don't want to make the leap that it's the main cause, or maybe even a significant cause, but the fact that Dallas and Baton Rouge were carried out by people who served...I dunno man. That bothers me. I can't help but feel if they don't end their service with a deep pride in the country (and other people who also are serving their country!), we're doing something wrong.

In my opinion it has zero to do with military service or how they are treated.

The Dallas shooter had issues while in the military and should have been anything but an honorable discharge.

He was sent home early from the Middle East because of sexual harassment/assault charges!

He had issues, period.

Haven't read anything about the Baton Rouge shooter, yet.

1.4 million people serve in the United States military at any given time. 1,399,998 of them didn't go crazy and start shooting people. I have no idea why you would place blame on military service.

The body knows what fighters don't: how to protect itself. A neck can only twist so far. Twist it just a hair more and the body says, "Hey, I'll take it from here because you obviously don't know what you're doing... Lie down now, rest, and we'll talk about this when you regain your senses." It's called the knockout mechanism.

You misunderstood me. I'm not blaming military service. I was commenting more on the treatment of our veterans AFTER their service.

Where did he say he put the blame on their military service? His question was on how they were treated after their service was over. His question was about how society is treating those in the military after they have served.

Personally, I agree that it really isn't the reason -- or even any kind of contributing factor. The Baton Rouge shooter was a data network specialist in the Marines and was a pretty severely paranoid conspiracy theorist.
