- Arkansas military recruiting station shootings. June 2009. Successful. Perpetrators: Islamist radical.
- Quantico base attack. August 2009. Foiled. Perpetrators: Islamist radicals.
- Fort Hood shootings. November 2009. Successful. Perpetrator: Islamist radical.
- Pentagon checkpoint shootings. March 2010. Successful. Perpetrator: Crazy person*.
- Virginia military facilities shootings. Successful. October-November 2010. Perpetrator: Islamist radical.
- Baltimore military recruiting station bombing. December 2010. Foiled. Perpetrator: Islamist radical.
- Seattle military recruiting station. June 2011. Foiled. Perpetrators: Islamist radicals.
Note the theme. As Ace of Spades practically snarls, it’s not like the New York Times can.
