'One of Their Own'

" We'll Thursday's tragic shootings at Fort Hood of -- at Texas community shaken but how does the military deal internally with the situation like this. Joining us now is the author of the line of departure website Jamie McEntire Jamie thank you so much. You have spent decades covering the military you know how these things work although we probably never seen situations exactly like this one where the Mac community go from here well."

" You know I think the army chief of staff put it the other -- is a real kick in the -- obviously the grief counseling. Process that they go through this this this thing for thing they do with any combat death but when the deaths come. From one of their own like this on a base in a place that you should be as safe. Haven for soldiers who are suffering the from stress -- come better prepared to deployed for combat. It it's it's really tough thing to take and so they're spending a lot of time. Trying to work with the families there and help them understand what's going on and then one of the important things about this is that. Because of his major slump religious beliefs this also tends to sort of feeding into the fears that some people have about. You know Muslim soldiers and where their loyalties lie and that's part of the investigation as well one of the things are really trying to figure out of what was the most what was the real motivation. Of this gun."

" And there are still so many unanswered questions there a lot of speculation so many things we don't know. But we -- and it and number of lawmakers and military leaders have said listen we're gonna be on the look out for any anti Muslim backlash. I would imagine her for many of these soldiers who are Muslim it's it's tough to be part of the military feel like maybe some of your a fellow soldiers. Maybe even suspecting in some ways how to navigate that very delicate."

" Situation yen and that's really tough thing and then some of the soldiers who are Muslim in the US army say that. No they don't believe that they sort of object to the phrase devout Muslim because they say real Muslim wouldn't act this way wouldn't take the lives of innocent people. No matter what his stress level was or opposition to the war opposite policy so they sort of objective that and it just means of course that many in sort of have to go to. An extra lengths. To sort of show where there the loyalties are obviously nobody wants to start stereotyping people were jumping to conclusions or opinion people with a broad brush. But there's an inescapable. Affected that the United States is in the war against you know radical. Islamic. Extremists. And that changes the plan. And this investigation so early on so many unknowns will left stay tuned and see how I found Jamie thank you very much and I think you."
