They can't do anything and are only at one facility not every single building... Your argument is proved invalid again. And saying everyone at Fort Hood has weapons is a very false statement. Everyone has access to firearms if the need arises. The weapons are stored in various armories around the base. Many locations on base do not have armories or firearms. The military is very very strict on firearms policies.

And not every veteran has PTSD... Many served their careers on bases stateside as MPs or other misc staff like my uncle. Saying they are incapable and will just shoot to stop anything is the most ignorant statement I have ever heard and is very very offensive.

PTSD prevalance is 6x more in Veterans (30.9% for males, 26.9% for females) than in the general public (Veterans Affairs), so no, that is not an ignorant statement. You just show your incompetence again and again. I find it quite amusing that you cannot show a single case where having "good guys with guns" (as I hear it put most often) actually saves lives. I can show you numerous instances where it does nothing at all, and we have showed you how having the most guns per capita in the world has actually caused more deaths.

EDIT: Oh, and I did not say that we will shoot anything. I am saying that when you put people who have a very high chance of having a mental disorder that affects their judgement into a volatile situation, and give them a gun, you can expect that things might get out of hand. Please do not twist my words.
