Prayers to the NG troops and their families this Thanksgiving. Providing they survive, their recovery will be a hard journey with more than likely pretty severe limitations for the rest of their lives. Praying for them during this Thanksgiving.

---

AMEN!

Prayers too for clear heads and steady hands for their Doctors, Nurses and Technicians.

He was absolutely vetted.

I've seen the vetting first hand. These guys go through quite an ordeal to become members of zero units. Polygraphs, deep background checks, etc.

Probably was flipped online or his family was held ransom in Afghanistan and this was the cost for their lives.

Al Qaeda is alive and well in Afghanistan. Ditto for ISIS.

Radicalizing former Afghan soldiers in the US has always been a stated goal of these groups bc it would increase the chances of other being deported back.

It'll be interesting to see what the feds find when they go through his online and social media activities.

It enrages me to no end knowing that everything we did after 9/11 has done squat with what we were all told were the reasons we went over there.

Thanks for the info, even if just pissed me off more than I already am about this situation.

Can't separate 9/11 and everything thereafter from the lies before and after.

Maybe just help them find a safe third party country outside of US territory. One more compatible with culture.

He lived in Washington state for 4 years. He was radicalized by democrats.

Yeah with a wife and kids and then just takes off, drives across country to DC? For a calculated attack?

There's a lot more to this story. If he was working with the CIA in Afghanistan, we likely won't hear the rest of this story, though.

almost EVERY jihadi since Muhammed has had a wife and kids.

I read that the two National Guard who were shot were sworn in less than 24 hours before the incident? Is that correct? Makes this whole thing even crazier.

---

I would think that is hopefully they were sworn in to the DC protection Guard positions a day before- not that they had joined the West Virginia Guard the day before.

I cannot imagine how anyone could go from first day joining a Guard unit- it can't be that.

because you always go off to Basic Training,
Advanced Training,
different levels of duty status (Traditional, IRR, Full Time Reserve AGR)

and the picture of the male was showing him an Air Force uniform, so he was prior service and transitioned to the WV ANG.

Yes I think him being radicalized by the party of radicals that hate America makes as much sense as anything else.

The President confirmed she passed. Heartbreaking.

Devastating news

Saw that. No words. Just prayers.

The anger will come later. We have a lot of 48 hour rule "reports" going around. And here is not the place nor time to speculate about them

Yes. Different things.

Rest in Peace

Prayers for family

Need to waterboard this mofo and find out who put him up to this.
What a waste. She probably joined for education, a little extra money , to learn a trade to better herself.
She is in a better place now. But I guarantee her Dad isn't.
Why, Lord? Losing a kid is so very hard on parents.

Especially IS - it seems to partly trace to Brennan and Kerry. A creation or even sponsored, to take down Assad. Come to think of it though, given that Brennan is very willful Trump enemy, that might be significant connection.

titan? Sorry to say this to you but not the time nor the place, not today.

Was responding to this you posited also.

Just saw the news.

Tragic loss

Prosecution of this monster needs to be fully Federal so no DC Dem judge can just let this guy off with a slap on the wrist claiming he's the real victim somehow

BS. What he has gone thru, he has every right.

Read the room, folks.

More protests at Camp As Sayliyah in Doha.

Every single one of those people were brought to this U.S. government facility by the State Department after extensive vetting. Each of them were supposed to come to the United States. pic.twitter.com/wFz20hPGib

Now 14 that we know of.

Kristol is a pathetic marxist.

Trump will unleash hell on these illegals from the Middle East. He was fond of how the area around the WhiteHouse was safe from crime and now a 20 year old servicewoman and service man gunned down in cold blood.


Stop all immigration from Muslim countries hopefully will be in the cards he plays. We are full!

I spent 3 1/2 years in Afghanistan and speak Pashto/Dari.

The assailant was part of a National Strike Unit (NSU), also known as a Zero Unit.

He served with NSU-03, which conducted counter-terrorism operations in Kandahar.

Zero units were the most elite part of the Afghan military.

My guess is that he was flipped by ISIS while stateside.

Although it will be natural for the political right to use this as an opportunity to dance on the grave of the chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, THIS GUY was apparently not some undocumented Afghan refugee who managed to sneak on a plane to the U.S.

Reports are that he worked with a CIA counter terrorism group that directly received U.S. military intelligence and assets to hunt down Taliban and Al Queda. This guy was VERY VETTED by the US in terms of knowing his background. Decent probability there are active special forces operators who, when this guy's face was published, said 'Hey, I remember that guy!'

The most important thing here is hopefully, while sifting through a flurry of political mudslinging that will occur as both political sides try to take advantage of this situation is:

1) Thoughts for the families of the National Guardsman. Awful.

2) Why did THIS GUY do this and why now? After 4 years in the states, apparently driving cross country and leaving a wife and family behind. PTSD fallout? Something else? What had he been doing for work the past 4 years? Has he still been actively working with the U. S. Government in some capacity? What had been the most recent contacts between him and a CIA handler? Etc.

This is also likely to be a fruitful conspiracy theory situation so beware of that. A lot of $$$$ to be made getting clicks and views by the conspiracy theory pundits who profit from stuff like this.
