FORT BENNING, Ga. (AP) - A Fort Benning spokesman says Army officials are investigating whether a suspicious note and package found at the west Georgia post is a viable threat.
Bob Purtiman says a soldier found the note and package Thursday morning in an outdoor gazebo. The soldier immediately told a supervisor, who called 911.
Purtiman would not say what was in the note or what was in the package.
He said authorities are investigating whether there is a viable threat against Fort Benning. He says security measures have been heightened in the meantime. Earlier this month, an Army psychiatrist opened fire at Fort Hood in Texas, killing 13 people and wounding more than 30 others.

i imagined it would only be a matter of time before things like this started happening. the fort hood thing was rare because he fought out in the open. he knew 99% of the base was unarmed, but its rare nonetheless. at least in my experiences.

I'm sure every post, every base, every every has been infiltrated with sympathizers and/or copycats...it's just a matter of stopping the PC bs and hauling their butts out.
