Wait a Minute...
Doesn't Germany, and most of Europe, have incredibly restrictive gun control laws?
So how does this happen?
Two U.S. Airmen Killed in Shooting at Germany's Frankfurt Airport
The shooter is described as being a native of Mitrovica, Kosovo. The story doesn't say, but most Kosovars are Muslims. Interestingly, the US has a generally positive image in Kosovo and Albania thanks to our intervention n their behalf in 1999.
Less so with the ethnic Serb minority population of Kosovo. So it is entirely possible that it could be a pissed off Serb trying to get revenge. Just wanted to throw that note out before folks jump to the "self-radicalized lone wolf radical Islamofascist jihadi" conclusion.

All American Bravado
Overheard in the hall today, reference (indirectly) the ongoing interestingness in the Arabic speaking portion of the world:
"If they ask, we can be anywhere in the world in 4 hours, and sustain forever. Our reach-back is incredible. Our rucksacks are bigger than any other rucksacks in the world."
I believe the G3's tongue was planted firmly in his cheek. Unless DARPA has some cool toys capable of Starship Troopers-style orbital drops that we haven't heard about yet. Which would be awesome. And which would definitely need 'AA' logos all over them.
I will put the Kool-AAid down now.
