The NBC affiliate in Washington, D.C., published a history of gun attacks and violence at military facilities in the United States over the past decade.

The study was published Friday following the April 3 shooting at Fort Hood, Texas, that wounded 16 and took the lives of four others, including the shooter, Spc. Ivan Lopez.

The NBC account notes the attacks reflect the violence of the larger culture, some result from domestic problems, some from drunken brawls, while others are politically or religiously motivated, such as the 2009 killings at Fort Hood when 13 people were gunned down by Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, an Army psychiatrist who also wounded 32. Hasan was found guilty and is awaiting execution.

Not all of these attacks were by servicemen. And not all appear to be the result of mental problems.

But each time a headline or TV commentator shrieks out that there’s been another attack, it erodes the confidence that American employers have in hiring veterans,

Mike Mullen, the former chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, appeared Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

He urged employers not to hold veterans responsible for the actions of a few troubled souls.

“This is a great military, and I wouldn’t want one incident like this (the latest Fort Hood shooting) to tarnish the reputations of the hundreds of thousands of vets in our country who run businesses, who teach at schools, who coach Little League games and who make a big difference in our community now and will for the future,” he said.

But a 2010 study by the Society for Human Resource Management found that 46 percent of employers said they were worried about hiring veterans because of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder or other mental health issues of returning combat veterans.

What a shame, the very people who risk everything to protect our culture and society can too easily end up rejected by it.
