As opposed to a dog who welcomes home his soldier, as with Nubs the dog, which we wrote about earlier, Australian Special Forces units are welcoming back Sabi. Sabi was lost during a gun battle in Afghanistan 14 months ago.

The gunman at the heart of the Fort Hood tragedy has been identified. He is Major Nidal Malik Hasan, aged 39 or 40, according to the report.

While people still continue to fight over whether or not health care should be provided for all, and the morality of allowing people to die because of lack of health insurance, here is the sad story of a soldier who re-enlisted to get insurance for his family, then later died in Afghanistan.

NBC News is reporting that at Camp Liberty, the main U.S. military base in Iraq, which is located near the Baghdad International Airport, a yet unnamed serviceman walked into a "stress clinic" in the camp, opened first, killing at least five. Contrary to earlier reports, the soldier did not kill himself but is now in custody.
