They are one of the richest countries in the world. WTF are they doing coming for training here in the US? They have the money and finances to hire the greatest fighter pilots on earth to come to Saudi and train them in country. AKA in the 70's and 80' when US service men and women went to Saudi to train and build infrastructure for them while making fortunes in the process.
Don't bore me with a comeback of we train lots of military from all over the world. I participated in some of that because their country's didn't have the knowledge or money to train, but that doesn't deter from my statement about Saudi Arabia having plenty of money to do it there.

Probably part of the deal when we sold them billions of dollars of planes.

The persons that wrote that deal probably would care for my definition of diplomacy.
We don't need them anymore. We are a net exporter of petroleum. Their middle east BS doesn't control the price of oil anymore.
Let them defend themselves with their riches or die trying.

I'm pretty much of the SMS point of view here. Guy flunked out and he freaked out and murdered people.
No theological or political implications. Just went nuts. No Geopolitical bullshi+. There's plenty of evil in the world that can't be attached to anything.
Prayers for the families.

Yeah, it was my post. Moderators can have opinions and post what they feel or think too. Maybe he was just angry because he was flunking out or whatever. Maybe that caused him to be the Lone Wolf...Anytime a Muslim attacks Americans on our soil makes me feel like it may be a terrorist related act.
I have no love or tolerance for the religion of hate or those who practice it. I spent a bit of time over in that part of the world and lost a lot of fellow Marines and other Service Members at the hands of them.

So I won't apologize, but pardon me if I get angry when a Muslim kills Americans, especially in our own country.

Except for the reports of several other Saudis recording the shooting.

They are questioning the six Saudi men that were there that recording the shooting. They must have expected something, they were quick on the draw! We train our young men and women in weaponry, send them to a war zone, give them a gun but yet won't allow even a supervisor of a unit carry a weapon stateside. However, my old Special Ops at Hurlburt Field (next to Eglin AFB) has been authorized by the base Commander that personnel can wear sidearm. But not Eglin. Both bases are relatively close to Pensacola NAS, 44 miles apart.
