Three Nevada National Guardsmen killed at IHOP

As with the Fort Hood shootings, if they do not address this with crisis intervention right now, there will be many problems afterwards among the National Guardsmen. The plain truth is, when they are deployed into combat, they know the risk involved but when they are home, there isn't supposed to be any risk to their lives here. This is where they live, where their families live. To have this happen at an IHOP leaves them wondering where "safe" is.
