More “incidents”
I just commented on two incidents involving suspicious actions by soldiers; one at Fort Campbell and one near Fort Leonard Wood.
Army Times now reports:
A box of hollow-point bullets and an anonymous note threatening an incident like the one at Fort Hood, Texas, were discovered Thursday at Fort Benning, Ga., sparking a criminal investigation and greater police presence, a witness told Army Times.According to a witness at the scene, a box of 20 hollow-point shells and a handwritten note were found in the motor pool area between 1st Battalion and 2nd Battalion, 29th Infantry, under the 197th Infantry Training Brigade.“The note said ‘tell the commanding general to call off all charges or there will be a re-enactment of Fort Hood,’ ” the witness told Army Times. He spoke on condition he wouldn’t be identified.
It’s hard to tell if the events with Major Hasan have any connection or are a factor in the actions alleged in these new and odd incidents.
Major Hasan will be having a pretrial confinement hearing soon, the Article 32, UCMJ, hearing will be scheduled at Fort Hood at some time, and some months from now the court-martial may start in earnest.
