One wonders if it wasn't so much a 'kill wish' as a 'death wish.'

There seems to be a common thread amongst these suicide attack
loonies that nothing matters so much as to go out in a blaze
of glory for Allah.

Art--- look at where the school is. Doesn't seem to likely
to get hurt by any events at the main facility. I doubt
that it's inside the perimeter fence or the gates. Again,
red herring.

That said, kids from military families that live in 'base
housing' and go to nearby schools ARE more exposed to all
kinds of risks. From 'terror' to toxins. That's the choice
their parents have made for them, out of convenience or
economic necessity.

One of the disadvantages to war (among the many) are that
civilians end up in harm's way, both from accident and from
people who don't play by the 'rules.'

A bit more reluctance to make war would perhaps lessen
that risk.
