if my commanding officer came to me and said “We must not look at all muslims in a bad light.”

I might respond with a question..."Sir, why do you think I enlisted?"

I’m having trouble with the “devout” Muslim part. They owned and operated a blue-collar beer joint called the “Capitol” and opened a “bar” and grill. Hmm...mm.

He listed “no religious preference” on his application to join the military. Hmm...mm.

He abhorred the thought of having to deploy to Iraq since Muslims should not perpetrate violence on other Muslims, but he would have never been called upon to do so, except in self-defense. Hmm...mm.

He “hated the thought” of having to go to the practice range, yet he managed to come up with two relatively sophisticated handguns. Hmm...mm.

He was given a half a million dollar education and a six figure salary on our dime and he was disenfranchised by the experiences of those he was called upon to heal. Hmm.mmm.

Finally, he was called names by biggots who served with him in the military (presumably his peers, as no grunt would have the moxy to call him a name to his face), and with all that education and “bookish” devotion he still manages to have the emotional and intellectual attributes of a six-year old. Hmm...mm.

In my humble opinion and very layman’s approach to the story, this was a severely conflicted guy. I assume we’re all supposed to simply say, “He had issues,” and give him a pass. You know, I remember reading that the night before the hijackers boarded the planes on 9/11, they were at a strip joint enjoying lap dances and hard liquor. Hmmm...mm. ... Hmm...mm.

P.S.

The “guest” was talking about scholarships he was given for those 6 years.

BS is right.

If the muslim was so committed, he would have AWOLed. Love the fact that an AMERICAN WOMAN tapped his rear end.

That’s ridiculous, and not true.

You do realize that interns and residents are actually WORKING while learning and providing medical care?

“This scumbag serves 6 years as an enlisted man....”

Muslims are very patient people. They don't care how long it takes to reach their goals, 1, 10, 20,years or more.

Remember, they have been killing infidels for over 2 thousand years.

FREE???

As a USUHS grad I’m appalled at what transpired here, but Hasan had incurred an active duty obligation of a minimum of 11 years for his education...he won’t serve it, but hundreds go his route, and can attest that all that education ain’t FREE.

Ah, it must have been being a Redskins fan and then being stationed in Cowboy territory that pushed this peaceful, bookish individual over the edge. Do we blame the Redskins? Do we blame the Cowboys? No, let’s blame the Army for reassigning him to Fort Hood.

“A longtime Walter Reed colleague who referred patients to psychiatrists said co-workers avoided sending service members to Hasan because of his unusual manner and solitary work habits.”

1. What the heck was he doing functioning as a psychiatrist to returning warriors from the battlefield? His superiors are guilty of complicity and enabling his heinous behavior. Heads need to roll; not in an Islamic sense, of course.

2. How much psychological damage has this ‘internal enemy combatant’ afflicted upon our military men and women from his misguided and deranged counseling?

3. Aside from committing physical murder by jihad on Americans, he was committing a psychological treasonous jihad on our service members and undermining American efforts.

How many more like him our enlisted in our military or working in our government?

Actually it’s only been about 1,332 years. But they’ll get there. Like you said, they’re patient. Something that most people do not understand. Remember when the Libs went mental at John McCain saying the war could last 100 years? he’s right. And Islam is fine with that.

The Army needs to find out how many, if any servicemen committed suicide that were in his care. How many did he push over the edge?

A pal. Great. That explains a lot. I’m sure his family is shocked and dismayed and urgently demands that America not retaliate against moosies because of this.

Snippets on the radio say that he was transferred from Walter Read to Ft Hood because of negative evaluations ( military or medical?) yet I though I just heard Mark Steyn say on Rush’s show that he was promoted to major above the zone?..what gives??

>>>> "The Army needs to find out how many, if any servicemen committed suicide that were in his care. How many did he push over the edge?" <<<<

Also, I am really curious to learn about his professors and his colleagues -- are any of them Outright Sociopaths & Psychopaths?? Seriously, who'd EVER suggest that this weird dude would be a good psychiatrist for any soldier???

That is simply preposterous.

HOW'd he ever get to any type of professional position in either the military or medical fields?

Yes, I know that, and you are correct. I found that statement unusual.

Also, internships are only for 1 year (as far as I know). A residency (which was not discussed) can be for 3 to 4 years depending on the specialization. For example, internal medicine is 3 years, and general surgery is 4. From there, they can tighten up their specialty into something specific putting in more years to learn.
