Stresses at Fort Hood Were Likely Intense for Hasan (Shooter is the Victim - Epic Barf Alert!)

While no one yet knows what ignited Major Nidal Malik Hasan's murderous rage Thursday afternoon, Nov. 5, at Fort Hood, the kindling was hiding in plain sight. The Army had ordered Hasan, wrestling with the conflicting demands of being a soldier, a psychiatrist and a Muslim, to the post with the highest toll of Army suicides. Fort Hood is one of the Army's most stressed posts because of its units' revolving-door deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq. Finally, the Army made clear that Hasan couldn't escape his own pending deployment to Afghanistan, where he'd have to salve the mental wounds of fellow soldiers killing members of his own faith.

Are you effing serious?

[MikeWUSAF]

The guy just got a promotion and had never seen combat.

Stress? I think not...

I AM LIVID!

"While no one yet knows what ignited Major Nidal Malik Hasan's murderous rage Thursday afternoon, "

I do...jihad!

[Vendome]

This is stress:

An American Woman is Superior to any jihadist!

 

 

Meet Kim Munley - Officer of the Year!

 

 

The teachable moment here is:

An American Woman Took down one of your tiny zib brethern!

An American Woman Stopped Jihad Nidal!

An American Woman Doesn’t take shit off any two bit, mealy mouthed, American hating muslim.

A Woman, An American Woman, bested your guy.

[Marty62]

HUH...EVERYONE knows why he did this...he’s a frikking terrorist.

[MikeWUSAF]

Because even the Amish yell “Allahu Akbar” before they commit mass executions.

[massgopguy]

I wonder how many of the suicides were pushed over the edge by Hasan?

[goodnesswins]

email TIME..... letters@time.com

[Infidel Heather]

Such is Liberal LaLa Land!

[colorado tanker]

What a pantload. An Army shrink at a stateside post is not under “stress.” Even deployed he would never be leaving the compound. Sheesh.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

When I woke up this morning and switched on ABC Radio.....the narrative was set. I thought I was going to throw the radio across the room! We’re just supposed to a one, big ‘pity party’ for the guy! Argh!

[~Kim4VRWC's~]

You had to know SOMEONE would write this kind of bs.. It was inevitable! :-p Time to get those who are of the same religion to be removed from the service perhaps?

[colorado tanker]

And another thing, Hood has the most suicides because it by far is the biggest post in the Army, has the most soldiers.

[NoGrayZone]

Those damn Amish. Gotta keep a sharp eye on “those people”.

[Starboard]

where he'd have to salve the mental wounds of fellow soldiers

Time is conveniently overlooking the fact that he wasn't doing a very good job of "salving" wounds according to his less than stellar performance while at Walter Reed.

[TADSLOS]

That settles it. He’s a bonafide victim now.

[dfwgator]

[WOBBLY BOB]

“Pre-Deployment Stress Syndrome” will be the new media disease.

[ArrogantBustard]

Stress?

Bullcrap. More like a sudden attack of "KILL THE INFIDEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[MikeWUSAF]

Time to get those who are of the same religion to be removed from the service perhaps?

The way the article is written one would conclude that Muslims are incompatible with U.S. military service. These are Time's words not mine.

[Mount Athos]

I haven’t read this article yet, but I wonder how many of these facts were mentioned...

Gave out Korans to neighbors morning of the attack.

Shouted Allahu Akbar just before killing.

Openly praised suicide bombers, calling them noble heroes.

When asked his nationality on a muslim community center application, stated Palestinian instead of USA, despite having no connection to palestine.

Gave a lecture to his psychiatric peers, instead of talking about psychiatry, ranted about how the koran teaches that non-believers should be decapitated. Peers wondered if he was a terrorist or just nuts.

[~Kim4VRWC's~]

You know it...

[Deo volente]

Listening to Mike Gallagher this morning...

“His favorite color is fuchsia, he enjoys reading Sports Illustrated, and he was a bed-wetter as a child.” LOL.

[LRS]

Next he will be lauded for being a Community Organizer...

[Secret Agent Man]

Ummm, unlike emlisted folks, officers can leave any time by resigning their commissions. If they want to go, they can go. Given his record there wouldn’t be much chance he’d be on the top of the recall list.

[a fool in paradise]

Bush’s fault

[SirJohnBarleycorn]

Exactly what role Hasan's faith played in the shooting, if any, is unknown.

IF ANY??

The p.o.s. shouted "allah akbar" as he was murdering people.

How does a person as stupid as Mark Thompson manage to find his way out of bed every morning?

What's amazing is that Thompson didn't find a way to twist the story to lobby for more homosexuals in the military.

[~Kim4VRWC's~]

They should pull em out..ALL of them. It's time to stop being pc! Lots of reasons why....

Notice how the left and the media never make excuses for normal people who do something politically incorrect.

He talked to those who had been deployed Post Tramatic Stress Disorder is contagious now. Can we get a vaccine?

[cubreporter]

God bless our American Women!!!

The Pravda Media lie. LIE LIE LIE.

Time-Lies-Warner-Turner-CNN-HBO.

Don’t trust them. Unplug. Drop your cable bill.

They lie like Stalinists. Lie Lie Lie.

Great post!

[DoughtyOne]

That video earlier with Dr. Pill and that ignorant lady, mentioned PTSD. This guy hadn’t been in combat. As for his counseling of patients, he’s got a doctorate. He should have been able to handle that.

All the excuses in the world can’t explain away this.

If there’s a nearby tree, yank his ass off life-support and make good use of it.

[Starboard]

Great stuff! Thanks for posting. Made my day.

[DoughtyOne]

Why wasn’t this guy in the brig, instead of on his way to Iraq?

“While no one yet knows what ignited Major Nidal Malik Hasan’s murderous rage Thursday afternoon..”

He didn’t want to go to Iraq or Afghanistan to fight fellow Mohammedans - PERIOD.

Stresses at Virginia Tech Were Likely Intense for...

Stresses at Orlando Office Were Likely Intense for...

Stresses at _____________ Were Likely Intense for...

Right. You won’t see the MSM lame excuses elsewhere because the killer wasn’t a protected political class.

God forbid we mention that “Which Must Not Be Named.”

[HiramQuick]

How do we generate morons like those that are media pukes. Is there a defective gene ... did they sniff glue, bad crack or what.

I just had to walk away from a stupid liberal azz episcopal minster or whatever the hell they call him this afternoon .. before I DECKED him. His thing is that we are suffering from the stressors that Gerorge Bush brought upon this country. Of course doncha know “I don’t condone the Drs. actions, but I understand why he could snap.” And then he started in on the evils of the military .... a total Richard Cranium

Episcopals ... another bunch of morons 3 french fries short of a happy meal.

Believe in nothing you will believe in anything.

"I wonder how many of the suicides were pushed over the edge by Hasan"?

Now that's a question. How many other ways has this traitor terrorist jihadi has attacked from within?

[Deo volente]

I wonder what the idiots in the media are going to say once Hasan wakes up and starts bragging about what he did in the name of Islam.

[hennie pennie]

This is just like the chit-chatter on AIR AMERICA, where again & again & again you hear, stuff like “Oh, the pooooooR guy, he HAD to listen to all those soldiers’ stories, how could he stand it?”

[ichabod1]

His parents were pals.

[Starboard]

As for his counseling of patients, he’s got a doctorate.

Counseling, or was he exploiting the patients and extracting valuable intelligence from them????

[hennie pennie]

He’s unconscious, he’s paralyzed and he’s on a ventilator; I may be wrong, but I suspect that if he ever actually wakes up from his coma that he will be severely brain damaged and totally unaware of his surroundings.

[P-Marlowe]

Reading crap like this makes me physically ill.

[missycocopuffs]

The drumbeat of Hasan's victimhood continues...from the article:

The Army had ordered Hasan, wrestling with the conflicting demands of being a soldier, a psychiatrist and a Muslim...

the Army made clear that Hasan couldn't escape his own pending deployment to Afghanistan, where he'd have to salve the mental wounds of fellow soldiers killing members of his own faith.

Media has some 'splaining to do because they have spent the last eight years telling us that there is NO conflict between being a Muslim and being a soldier in the U.S. military.

If Hasan had been some white guy from Georgia, TIME would be laying out the case that his 'his deep Baptist faith informed his growing right-wing extremism.'
