The ARMY could do nothing because Hasan had to do something in violation of regulations first.

What are you saying Hasan did before the event on 11 November?

Wined?

Sorry but that wont get you court marshalled.

Can you imagine the $h!t storm if Hasan was called into the C.O.’s office and told to stay away from that mosque.

Did the FBI report Hasan’s activities to Centcom?
Did the CID have an open investigation on him?

No and No.

And you're absolutely sure of both those statements, how?

I concede your point that Hasan didn't, technically, violate regulations. Other than that, this guy bothers me more than  Sgt. Asan Akbar, who fragged his commanding officers in Kuwait; and more than John Mohammed, who sits on death row for the beltway sniper murders, just to name a few.

Why?

Because this guy was allowed to continue, after he got his MD in 2001, to achieve the status of Army psychiatrist. And what exactly does an Army psychiatrist do in time of this particular war? His work consists mainly in counseling soldiers returning from a battlefield in which they've witnessed the horrific results of Islamic extremism -- their buddies' bodies ripped to shreds by IED's; innocent civilians, including children, blown up in the name of religion. Blood and body parts.

And after all that, returning to the states with nightmare scenarios pushing them to the point of despair, they are offered -- the services of a radical muslim counselor?

Sorry, I can't think of anything more sadistic or punishing to the brave men and women who volunteer to fight our enemy. Whether this happened through bureaucratic BS or political correctness really doesn't matter. There were ways to derail him, to give him some job far away from the action; to give him ratings so poor that he'd only be fit for counseling chipmunks. But that didn't happen. He was pushed along like some automaton, without regard to potential damage to our troops.

Sorry, no, I can't forgive on the basis of PC. It was a failure of imagination and empathy by his immediate superiors. Let the lives of 13 souls, and the agony of the wounded and the families affected, be on their heads.
