If there was one place on the planet one would think you could be safe it would be a military base in America.
Thoughts and prayers for the families of the victims.
Why? Soldiers are men and women, they like guns, many of them have families, a fort or base or post is like a small town to a medium size city.
People hurt each other, unfortunately.
Fort Hood is the largest military installation in the world. It's the second largest city (in terms of square miles) in Texas. Nearly 50,000 soldiers and their dependents there at any one time. A military installation is no different than any other town or city. Same demographic as any other town. Men, Women, Children. Police and Fire, Hospitals, Stores, movie theaters, restaurants, day care, swimming pools.
Unfortunately, as a result of that, you have the same problems with crime as any other city.
And that place is huge!!! 340 sq. miles or 217,600 acres !!
