    It isnt Blue on Blue Pop, that happens in War by Accident, Negligence. This was criminal Murder, deliberate intent. And now some family has to prepare a funeral because some c sucker couldnt just kill himself but had to take someone with him. RIP to the LTC. condolences to family and I hope a Murder conviction and death penalty on the asshole shooter.

    I was driving through Ft Bragg on the way home last night and wondered what all the news vans were doing there. This is crazy because just two months ago the very same unit had another fatal shooting, involving a love triangle: http://abclocal.go.com/wtvd/story?se...cal&id=8588390

    A soldier at the Fort Bragg Army base fatally shot by another member of his unit was identified on Saturday as Lt. Col. Roy Tisdale, a highly decorated veteran of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
