Fort Hood soldier arrested on murder warrant in year-old case

Actually LTC, when you think about it, not really. As you well know it is an all-volunteer military. People come from all walks of life and join the military for a variety of reasons. Some of these people are on the run from the law to begin with. They're just a few steps ahead and they haven't been charged yet. So they get in the military and they don't change their evil ways. Some of them were drug dealers before they joined the Army and continued as drug dealers once they were in. I'm not saying that's the case with this particular suspect. I don't know the facts of the case other than its alleged that he killed his girlfriend or his wife or something like that. My overall point though I think is clear in that as an all-volunteer military it's the Forrest Gump analogy. “My mom always said life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.”

SFC William Farrell exactly. A cross section of society as I mentioned in response to the LTC. I see it differently however is a military policeman in a very close time. Is you. Fort Hood at the time was the largest military base in the Free World and had the highest crime rate. It still has the highest crime rate that it's 204% above the national average. It is close to Fort Bragg and Fort Steward. They're just a couple of percentage points below it.

SSG Robert Ricci - Well said Bob.

SFC William Farrell thank you SFC
