She says that Fort Hood is a &#8220;black hole&#8221;, whatever that means. She&#8217;s been on Fort Hood for four whole months and she says that inmates in prison have it better than soldiers on Fort Hood.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>She added that base officials and military personnel in the Pentagon should be more focused on the quality of life soldiers have at Ft. Hood. \u201cWe lose our sanity knowing that we don\u2019t get paid enough to work as much as we do,\u201d the solider continued. \u201cI could be flipping burgers right now and make more money.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"300\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OtrGy0nWD9M\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>If she&#8217;s an E-3 with less than 2 years of service, she makes about $11.30\/hour, $21,000\/year. I think that&#8217;s a little bit better than what she&#8217;d earn &#8220;flipping burgers&#8221;. I didn&#8217;t like my time at Fort Hood, either, but it was because I wanted to be light infantry and there wasn&#8217;t any light infantry at Hood when I was there. But, it was the only place I was stationed where I could take my fishing poles to work and hit the lake after duty hours. They had a great recreation area. Hood was about an hour from Waco and Austin &#8211; you know, the big city for night life. <\/p>\n<p>She says that she doesn&#8217;t blame Ivan Lopez for going on a shooting spree because Fort Hood made him nuts. Yeah, well, thousands, if not millions of us have been stationed at Hood without going on a shooting spree. The military should seek out this complaining private and check her out for her predisposition to go on a shooting spree.<\/p>\n<p>She says that she&#8217;s a &#8220;military brat&#8221;, but I guess she was unconscious  most of her life. Oh, and by the way, CNN probably had to really work to find someone as stupid as this woman. She has about as much useful information to add to the discussion as if they had interviewed Sponge Bob about life at Fort Hood.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" lang=\"en\">\n<p>Heading home&#8230; But keep thinking about this young solider.
