e was depressed, according to the Army. He claimed he suffered a brain injury and also had posttraumatic stress. The search for answers as to why Spc. Ivan Lopez opened fire on strangers at Fort Hood on April 2, killing three and wounding 16 before turning the weapon on himself, may take months to resolve, if ever. Some experts, however, believe that Lopez fits the profile of a typical rampage killer motivated most often by simmering resentment and revenge rather than a sudden burst of rage. Those experts, none of whom knows Lopez, based their assessment on years of study about the dynamics of mass killings. “The notion of a deranged gunman who suddenly snaps and goes berserk is more myth than reality,” James Alan Fox, professor of criminology at Northeastern University, wrote in an article for CNN last year. “Rather, mass murderers act methodically and with purpose. They see others, often the former boss or supervisor, as the people who are to blame for their miserable existence … the
idea of getting even becomes all consuming.” Media reports have focused on Lopez’s mental health state, such as whether he had PTSD, and suggested that the Army was somehow culpable for failing to treat someone who might be violent. Rampage shooters do sometimes have apparent serious mental health issues that drew concern before their murderous sprees. They include shooters at the Colorado theater, the Arizona shopping mall, the U.S. Navy Yard in Washington, D.C., and the Sandy Hook elementary school in Connecticut. But they all harbored resentments, experts say, and blamed others for what they believed were injustices against them. Whether they could have been stopped in advance is “an exceptionally challenging question” including civil liberties, medical ethics, guns and
gun laws, according to the progressive magazine Mother Jones, which did an extensive investigation into mass shootings. Anne Speckhard, an adjunct associate professor of Psychiatry at Georgetown University Medical School, said she believed that mental health problems were the cause and that Lopez was unstable. “I see a guy whose mother just died, who according to a friend is ‘enraged’ that he cannot get enough time off to go to her funeral. In the same time frame, he is asking for help and taking medications for anxiety and depression …,” Speckhard said in an email. “Then he goes to the base, gets in an argument and goes on a shooting spree. This looks like someone who cannot control his emotions or impulses well and was destabilized by something — the deaths in his family,

the psychotropic [drugs], the moves, something in his past,” she said. “I think the mental health problems are the best explanation.” But experts in rampage killings say Lopez’s actions suggest his shooting spree was largely the result of a long-brewing dissatisfaction with his life and his Army career, combined with externalization of blame, or scapegoating. “Rampage killers are persons who have been humiliated,” said Randall Collins, a sociology professor at the University of Pennsylvania who has studied scores of mass shooters. “What they really want is to fix their image. It’s ‘I’m going to show these people.’ ” Lopez, 34, was a decade or more older than almost all others of his rank. He became an active-duty soldier in 2010, according to the Army, after years spent at a part-time National Guard job, and according to reports, as a police officer in his native Puerto Rico. “You go from being a cop — cops always get deferred to — now he’s in the Army, he’s a truck driver, he’s low-ranking. That’s a real drop in status,” Collins said in a phone interview. CONTINUED ON PAGE 3

Pentagon: Too soon to tell if gun policy will be reviewed BY JON H ARPER Stars and Stripes
WASHINGTON — The Pentagon has yet to decide whether it will review a ban on troops carrying concealed weapons onto bases in the wake of last week’s Fort Hood shooting. Current policy allows military police and some other personnel to carry loaded weapons deemed essential to their duties. Other servicemembers can bring personal weapons onto bases, but only under tightly regulated circumstances, such as when they engage in hunting or target practice. Some Republican lawmakers have called for allowing servicemembers
to carry weapons onto military facilities for their own protection after Spc. Ivan Lopez used his .45-caliber pistol to kill three soldiers and wound 16 people at Fort Hood before taking his own life after being confronted by an armed military policewoman. “As this [criminal] investigation continues to unfold, we will seek continued resolution and continued increase in focus on specifically what it is that we’ll be reviewing policywise. For now, the focus is getting the investigation completed, taking care of the wounded and their families, and bringing Fort Hood back as rapidly as possible to normal operations,” Pentagon spokesman Col. Steve Warren said Monday in response to a reporter’s question about whether the
ban will be reviewed. “We’ve not yet announced a policy review [and] it’s too soon to tell [if there will be one],” Warren said. In a Senate Armed Services Committee hearing last week, Gen. Ray Odierno, the Army chief of staff, suggested that a policy change wasn’t necessary because the current level of force protection is sufficient. Lt. Gen. Mark Milley said that Lopez purchased the gun that he used to kill and wound his fellow soldiers March 1 at a store called Guns Galore in Killeen, Texas. Lopez illegally brought the weapon onto Fort Hood the day of the shooting. Milley said around 100,000 people work at the base, and it would be impractical to search all of them before

Further, changing from being an infantryman to a truck driver as Lopez did in February would also be perceived in the Army as a step down. Lopez was diagnosed with depression, claiming a traumatic brain injury and was being evaluated for post-traumatic stress. The Army maintains he saw no combat and suffered no injuries in the four months he spent in Iraq in 2011. Collins said mental health complaints could have been a “sort of a script, almost like a cover story.” “Other people are making these claims — mental health issues kind of fit into the existing culture. It’s kind of a standard gripe,” he said. Lopez was incensed, his family said, when commanders declined to give him the amount of leave he requested to attend his mother’s funeral. The day of the shooting, he’d gotten into a dispute, officials said, apparently about another leave. That could have been the triggering, rage-inducing humiliation, Collins said. The fact that the shooting occurred on an Army base isn’t especially notable, experts said. Mass shooters, most of them middle-age men, most often target their families, Fox said, but they also often strike at their place of employment. Younger mass shooters have targeted schools, malls and theaters. They target hated individuals they believe are responsible for their unhappiness. Or they shoot whomever is present in what Fox calls “murder by proxy.” “What they want is to reverse the scenario that has dominated their lives

Lucy Hamlin and her husband, Spc. Timothy Hamlin, wait for permission to reenter Fort Hood, Texas, after the shootings on April 2. — being looked down upon by others in that institution. The habitually dominated seek a moment of dominating others “This fills their horizon; the rampage killer rarely plans what happens next. In all his elaborate planning, he has made no plans for escape,” Collins wrote in September 2012 on his blog, The Sociological Eye. “The mass killing is the final, overwhelming symbolic event of his life.” The Lopez case is the third time someone associated with Fort Hood committed a public mass shooting in Killeen, Texas. Maj. Nidal Hasan, an Army psy-
chiatrist and Islamic extremist, killed 13 people and wounded more than 30 others at Fort Hood in 2011. Hasan, whose shooting spree ended after he was shot by police, bought his weapons at the same Killeen store where Lopez bought the .45-caliber Smith & Wesson semi-automatic handgun he used on his victims before killing himself when confronted by police. Now on the military’s death row, Hasan claimed he’d killed troops about to deploy to Afghanistan to protect the Taliban, and his actions are widely viewed as ideologically driven terrorism. But he also fit the profile of a mass

they enter the facility. Officials said that Lopez was undergoing mental health treatment for depression, anxiety and sleep disturbances before he went on his shooting spree. Warren confirmed that mental health professionals are allowed to ask troops if they plan on buying a weapon if they believe they might be mentally unstable, but said he didn’t know if anyone asked Lopez about his intentions to purchase a firearm. “Presumably [the answer] will come out when the investigation is complete. But that’s certainly going to be an integral part of the investigation moving forward,” Warren said. harper.jon@stripes.com Twitter: @JHarperStripes
murderer: a middle-age outsider discontent with his job and powerless to change it. The Army categorized the event as workplace violence. Less often mentioned is the so-called Luby’s massacre in 1991. Unemployed merchant seaman George Hennard, 35, crashed his pickup truck through the front window of a local cafeteria then shot 50 people, killing 23, before killing himself. Hennard’s father was an Army colonel, a surgeon and the commander of Fort Hood’s Darnall Army Community Hospital in the late 1970s. The Lopez case is similar to that of Sgt. John M. Russell, 44, who shot five people at a combat-stress clinic on the outskirts of Baghdad in 2009. At his court-martial, Russell’s defense claimed Sudoku that Russell, on his Puzzle - Medium third deployment, was suicidal. He’d “snapped,” according to his lawyers, because of maltreatment from incompetent mental health providers. But prosecution witnesses told of an aging, unsuccessful soldier who struggled at work. Prosecutors said that Russell grew irate and ultimately murderous because he was not being evacuated out of Iraq after saying he was suicidal, that he blamed clinic workers and wanted revenge. They pointed out that after he stormed out of the clinic, he stole a truck and an M16 and returned to the clinic, a drive that took some 40 minutes. He smoked a cigarette, removed identification tags and the rifle’s optical sight, slipped in the back door, and started firing. Russell was sentenced to life without parole last year. montgomery.nancy@stripes.com

Fort Hood officials detail shooting spree BY JENNIFER HLAD Stars and Stripes
FORT HOOD, Texas — Around 4 p.m. Wednesday, Spc. Ivan Lopez argued with fellow soldiers about his request for time off and how that request was being processed, a spokesman for the Army’s Criminal Investigation Command confirmed. Minutes later, Lopez drew a semiautomatic handgun and began shooting, killing one soldier and wounding nine more in his unit’s administrative office near the intersection of 72nd Street and Tank Destroyer Boulevard, Chris Grey said Monday in a news conference at Fort Hood. But Lopez was not finished. He left the building, got into his car and started driving, shooting at two more soldiers standing behind the building and traveling very slowly in the wrong lane, headed toward his own office. When he arrived, Lopez shot a soldier in the motor pool office, fatally wounding him, then walked to the vehicle bay area in the same building, where he wounded two more soldiers, Grey said. Lopez got back in his car and drove toward the medical brigade building, Grey said. While driving, Lopez shot into the windshield of an approaching car, injuring the passenger, Grey said. Once he arrived at the medical brigade building, Lopez shot and wounded a soldier in the parking lot, killed the soldier manning the front desk and fired at other soldiers inside the building, wounding one more. “At this point, we do not know why he entered the building, and we may never know why,” Grey said. Still, Lopez continued, getting back into his car and driving to another transportation battalion building, where he was approached by a military policewoman who had responded to 911 calls, Grey said. The woman fired at Lopez, but missed, an autopsy confirmed. Lopez then turned the gun on himself, Grey said. The rampage did not last long — about 8 minutes from the first 911 calls, Grey said — but ended with Lopez and three other soldiers dead and 16 more wounded. Five remain in area hospitals but are improving, officials said. The others have returned to duty. Lopez was being treated for anxiety and depression, among other health problems, and was undergoing a diagnosis for possible post-traumatic stress disorder, Army officials have said. However, Lt. Gen. Mark

Chris Grey, spokesman for the Army’s Criminal Investigation Division, speaks to the media at Fort Hood on Monday. He explained the sequence of events and the path that Spc. Ivan Lopez took last Wednesday during the mass shooting spree.
Milley, commander of III Corps and Fort Hood, said April 4 that investigators believe the argument prompted the shooting. Grey said investigators are still working to determine a motive. Officials have not confirmed why Lopez was seeking a permissive temporary duty, or whether his request was denied. Permissive TDY may be authorized for career management, to participate in a court proceeding as a witness or juror, for house hunting, to attend civilian education programs, to attend meetings related to a soldier’s profession and to participate in sports or recreation activities, among other scenarios, according to the Army’s official leave policy. No reason was given as to why Lopez was seeking time off. Stars and Stripes has filed an open records request for the leave policies specific to Lopez’s Fort Hood unit, the 49th Transportation Battalion (Movement Control), 4th Sustainment Brigade, 13th Sustainment Command. Lopez reportedly was angry he had received only a short amount of leave to travel home to Puerto Rico for his
mother’s funeral in November, when he was still assigned to the Fort Bliss, Texas-based 4th Battalion, 6th Infantry Regiment. Lopez was assigned to Fort Hood in February. There is no evidence Lopez had ever been convicted of or involved in any other criminal activity, Grey said, and no evidence so far that he was connected to any terrorist or extremist groups. Investigators have collected more than 235 pieces of evidence and canvassed more than 1,100 people in connection with the shooting and have now released the crime scene back to Fort Hood, Grey said. Fort Hood has opened behavioral health resources — usually available only to Tricare beneficiaries — to Army civilians and contractors associated with the shooting and created a behavioral health hot line for anyone seeking help, said Col. Paul Reese, III Corps chief of current operations. hlad.jennifer@stripes.com Twitter: @jhlad

Laird Gutterson, a POW in Vietnam for more than five years, embraces his wife, Virginia, upon arrival at March Air Force Base, Calif., on March 17, 1973.
Iconic status conferred on Vietnam POWs BY CHRIS CARROLL Stars and Stripes
WASHINGTON — At the tail end of the American entanglement in Vietnam, a war-weary and divided nation was looking for something — anything — to feel good about. The 591 military POWs released by North Viet-
nam in early 1973 were it. “We were a plus — a bright spot for the country,” said Tom Hanton, an Air Force fighter pilot freed in late March that year after being held for nine months in Hanoi. But in the days before “thank you for your service” had become an everyday salutation, the acclaim often didn’t spread further, even though millions of American troops served in Southeast Asia. The enthusiastic welcome home, punctuated by patriotic parades and speeches, was gratifying but left some feeling slightly uneasy. “Looking back on it, we as POWs were treated as the only heroes of the Vietnam War,” said Hanton, now president of the Association of Vietnam War POWs. “The others — the guys slugging it out in the jungle — generally didn’t get treated as heroes,” he said. “That was unfair.” The country’s attitude represented a remarkable U-turn compared to previous wars. Never before
had prisoners of war taken on the iconic status conferred on them during the war in Vietnam.
Changing attitudes In earlier years, the nation had broadly regarded POWs as unpleasant realities of conflict and sometimes even as representations of cowardice or failure, said Northwestern University historian Michael J. Allen. “There’s a long tradition in western military history to think of prisoners as having failed, or of being signs of weakness,” said Allen, author of “Until the Last Man Comes Home,” a history of the POW/MIA movement. “After Vietnam, however, the returning POWs were very much regarded as heroes and given particular honors and awards to recognize their imprisonment and suffering.” While the prisoners languished in Vietnamese captivity for years and suffered brutal torture, starvation and isolation, a mass movement and CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

Reunion of Honor brings 8 veterans back to Iwo Jima BY LISA TOURTELOT

Stars and Stripes
IWO JIMA, Japan — Eight U.S. veterans recently returned to the scene of one of the bloodiest battles of World War II as part of the 19th annual Reunion of Honor ceremony on Iwo Jima. For 36 days in 1945, U.S. Marines and soldiers battled 20,000 dug-in Japanese soldiers for control of the remote island, which America wanted to secure for its strategic location and the use of its runway for bombing runs. At the end of the fighting, more than 6,800 Americans and 18,000 Japanese troops had fallen. Each year since 1995, retired Lt. Gen. Lawrence Snowden, a veteran of the battle, has organized the Reunion of Honor tour, which has hosted veterans and descendants from both sides of the battle to honor the sacrifices made on the black sand island. This year, the event was held on March 19. Dignitaries and distinguished FROM PAGE 11
letter-writing campaign was revving up focused on their welfare. Many believe the Nixon administration sought to use the frightful experiences of the POWs as ammunition to tar the anti-war movement. Parts of that movement — famously including celebrities who paraded through Hanoi to meet with POWs — were likewise prone to using the prisoners as political props. From whatever political angle it came, the intense focus on POWs steadily elevated the issue until bringing home the POWs ended up at the top of the popular agenda of war aims. “In the end, what Nixon tried to do completely backfired on him because he had created such a base of support for these men in the United States,” Allen said. “By the end of the war, he was arguing, ‘We can’t pull out of the war simply to win the release of 500plus men.’ ”
The missing Once the 1973 Operation Homecoming was over, many former POW supporters shifted course slightly to focus on thousands of U.S. servicemembers missing in action in Southeast Asia. It was a painful political issue that
guests laid wreaths on their respective sides of the Reunion of Honor memorial, and the Japanese guests also performed a traditional water blessing on the site. In a smaller ceremony, two men quietly laid to rest a 69-year chapter in their lives. Owen Agenbroad, a Marine veteran of the battle, found Yoshikazu Higuichi, the son of a Japanese soldier who fought and died on Iwo Jima. A few weeks after Agenbroad had been on the island, he found a Japanese straight razor, shaving kit and tin cup in a Japanese fighting position, or pill box. Agenbroad kept the items in a shadowbox in his Dayton, Idaho, home for decades before he had the writing on the razor translated. A few contacts with Japanese government officials later, and Agenbroad would linger for decades amid accusations of abandonment by government bureaucrats eager to leave the Vietnam War in the past. The charge was aired in Congressional hearing rooms as well as on the big screen, where actors Chuck Norris and Sylvester Stallone led fictional missions to rescue POWs held long after the war. Reports of white prisoners who were spotted in communist prisons in Southeast Asia, or of shadowy wartime transfers of American officers to Russia in exchange for military assistance, fueled the passion of activists. They include former POW and Navy A-6 pilot Eugene “Red” McDaniel, who was shot down in May 1967 during a bombing mission. McDaniel’s “backseater” for the mission was Lt. James K. Patterson. Both were in radio contact with U.S. forces after bailing out, but American rescuers were unable to reach either man before capture. McDaniel returned home with the 591 troops released in 1973, but Patterson seems to have simply disappeared. For decades, McDaniel has suspected that the military and U.S. government knows more than it’s letting on about Patterson and the more than 1,500 Americans still listed as missing in action from Vietnam. He argued for the release of classified records that

Through research, Agenbroad found Yoshikazu Higuichi, the son of the Japanese soldier to whom the items originally belonged, and returned them. had found Higuichi, a retired school principal.

shifted to the less dire, “I am required to give …” — but it meant plenty to former POWs. “The word ‘required’ says you give them as little as you can,” said Mike McGrath, a Naval Aviator captured in 1967 and severely tortured. “The word ‘bound’ means you’re going to die.” The war in Vietnam had another deep psychological effect on the collective military psyche, reflected in greater dedication to recover the bodies of those lost in combat, Allen said. As a result of Vietnam, he said, there’s a more comprehensive effort to recover MIA troops from World War II, for instance, than there was immediately following the war. Echoes of Vietnam affect current operations as well, he said. “It’s grown … to the point there have been firefights simply to recover dead soldiers,” Allen said. “That’s a result of a mythos that has grown in the all-volunteer force, that the military will not allow the civilian leadership to abandon it as it believes it was abandoned in Vietnam. The recovery of human remains is an expression of that idea.”
Changing the military In the war in Korea, a number of captured troops were said to have been “brainwashed” by communist propaganda. The result was the famous Code of Conduct, and it was drilled into troops that they were “bound” to give nothing more than basic identifying information to captors. But the experience of POWs in Vietnam would change the military’s attitude to captivity. A few heroic POWs died following the code to the letter as they faced an organized torture program in North Vietnamese prison camps. Most found it impossible to fully resist torture, however, and senior POWs modified the code, sending out the word to simply resist as much as possible. After release, ranking POWs worked with the Pentagon to modify the code to reflect what had been learned in the communist prisons of Vietnam. Some changes were subtle — “I am bound to give name, rank, service number and date of birth” was

2nd Cavalry Regiment returns to Germany
Collector looking for more wartime letters
A
BY M ICHAEL S. DARNELL Stars and Stripes
The bulk of the 2nd Cavalry Regiment returned home to Vilseck, Germany, on Monday after what will be the final deployment in Afghanistan for most of the soldiers. During their nine-month tour in Afghanistan’s southern Kandahar province, the Dragoons were separated into different security advisement teams that worked with Afghan National Army troops and local Afghan police to secure Saturday’s presidential election. Regiment commander Col. Douglas Sims said the success of that election — in which an estimated 7 million votes were cast across the country — was a testament to the impact his soldiers had on Afghanistan’s future. “There wasn’t a single incident at a polling site in any of the Afghan polling sites in southern Afghanistan, and then unprecedented voting, an incredible turnout in the south,” he said in a statement.

Below: The soldiers say a quick prayer upon returning home safely to Vilseck, Germany. Sims cited the work of the Americans and Afghans in the months leading up to the election as one reason why there was relatively little violence in the region where the regiment provided guidance. “It’s not often a battalion, squadron or regiment gets a chance to see the fruits of its labor,” Sims said. “But at the end of this nine months, we were able to see exactly that, with the Afghan elections on Saturday. Really, the culmination of a tremendous deployment.” darnell.michael@stripes.com
