A soldier who experienced the senseless tragedy at Fort Hood last week wrote a moving letter to Texas lawmakers on Monday which is now public record (read entire letter below).
In the letter, 1st Lieutenant Patrick Cook says that the massacre was completely predictable and predicts more violence âbecause Fort Hood is a gun free zone.â Cook says that lessons from the last Fort Hood attack were not learned.
âMore will die, more will be wounded, more families will be torn apart, needlessly. It happened again, and will happen again, because Fort Hood is a gun free zone,â Cook wrote. âStripped of my God-given right to arm myself, the only defensive posture I had left was to lie prostrate on the ground, and wait to die,â Cook explained, referring to his Second Amendment right to bear arms, which for some reason trained soldiers at Fort Hood apparently donât have access to.
