"Not even soldiers on an American military base such as Fort Hood are immune from the unique threat from powerful and increasingly lethal handguns. Army Major Malik Nadal Hasan is a psychiatrist who treated returning vets suffering from PTSD and other issues of mental illness."

One never is completely safe from all dangers, but the soldiers at Ft Hood, just like most citizens, were restrained in their ability to defend themselves... and because of that, more died.
