REMINDER - Some of you are not writing enough here. A single sentence isn't enough. I expect you to expand upon your writing. If you think you have written enough, you haven't, write more. Be sure to answer WHY you think something.

A. Why do you think that these random acts of violence keep occurring at US Military bases here in the United States, like the one that happened at Fort Hood yesterday? Remember this is the second time in just a short number of years that this has happened at that base.
I think these random acts of violence keep happening because many soldiers or veterans have a lot of issues that they may not know how to deal with. Some have PTSD or other mental disorders and they feel the need to take out their anger on people that have made them mad. It could also be that they just don't know what to do with their lives and don't know how to handle things.
