A Tipton soldier killed Thursday during a shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas, was a quiet boy who thought the military would help him grow into a man, his family said Friday.

Spc. Jason Dean Hunt, 22, was one of 13 people killed when a gunman opened fire at a soldier readiness center on the post. The gunman, identified by authorities as Maj. Nadil Malik Hasan, 39, was shot four times by a civilian police officer but survived.

Hunt was a 2005 graduate of Tipton High School. Tipton is near Altus in southwest Oklahoma.

Known as J.D., Hunt was voted "most quiet" in his senior class. His grandmother, Kay Smith of Frederick, said J.D. even dressed so he would blend in at school.

What America has to do is put radical, fanatic Muslims, into some kind of interment camp, we can No longer allow these religious fanatics to roam around loose, Just like we did with the Japs after pearl harbor, to Protect America we are at War with Muslim states, and US, soldiers are being killed right here on American soil.

Condolences to the family.

As long as we are in their villages and Valleys, they are going to come to ours. It's time to draw down and start thinking about Pakistan and Al Quaeda.

Only morons would blame this on the President. You forgot he was there to meet the fallen coming in at Dover. We never knew if ex-Pres Shrub did that or not since no cameras were allowed there during his 8 years of Hell.
