| Combat stress control unit deployed from Fort Hood FORT HOOD - An army reserve unit dealing with grief after losing three of their own in the deadly Fort Hood massacre has been deployed to Afghanistan. The combat stress control unit arrived on post November 4th, just a day before the attack by alleged gunman Major Nidal Hasan. News Channel 25 spoke to two of the Madison, Wisconsin based soldiers as they prepared for deployment. They told us they are now better prepared for their mission, and are ready to honor their fallen soldiers. "I think they decided the same day they were more dedicated than ever in honor of the soldiers that we lost and have stood firm in that commitment," said Major Laura Suttinger. Accused shooter Major Nidal Hasan was also part of that same 467th medical detachment but would not have deployed Thursday night. It is my understanding, while not confirmed, that some of the wounded deployed along with their brothers and sisters. Too bad so little was mentioned in the media. |
