WASHINGTON — Military officials say Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the suspected shooter at Fort Hood, was a psychiatrist at Walter Reed Army Medical Center for six years before being transferred to the Texas base in July.

They said he received a poor performance evaluation while at Walter Reed. The Virginia-born soldier is single with no children. He is 39 years old.

He is a graduate of Virginia Tech, where he was a member of the ROTC and earned a bachelor's degree in biochemistry in 1997. At Walter Reed, he did an internship, residency and a fellowship.

What IS IT about VT?

Just in the last several years: shootings, a beheading, murder of students near the school, and breeding scum like this latest islamic radical terrorist murderer of unarmed (which, especially ON a military base, they should NOT have been) Americans.

VT MUST be cursed.

From some records posted last night on FR, he finished his undergraduate degree in 1997, entered the Armed Forces medical school from 1997-2001, interned 2003-2004, psychiatric residency 2001-2004, and fellowship 2004-2005. Therefore, he served at WRAMC for awhile years in a nontraining status before his transfer.

Medical school is four years in length no matter where you go. Psychiatric training takes one year of internship and three years of residency after medical school.

However, if the numbers posted last night were correct, he would have graduated high school in 1988 but not from college until 1997. That is the time I am the most suspicious of.

Yes, it it true that some people don't go directly from high school to college or that they take longer to complete a college degree than four years. However, while it is not unheard of, it would be a little bit out of the norm for someone who became a physician.

I would like to know what happened from the time he graduated from high school until completing his undergraduate degree nine years later.

Sorry, the numbers I posted for his post graduate medical education were incorrect. They should have been internahip from 2001-2002, residency 2002-2005, fellowship 2005-2006. But the question about his undergraduate education still remains for me.

Maybe we can blame all the crime in Atlanta on Georgia Tech.

VT has a large % of international students like the ones who committed some of the actions. If two people were murdered in Atlanta or Boston or Miami, no one would even notice.

Maybe he was travelling -- don't young college students do that all the time -- personally, I would just love to see this doctor's passport for the years you so correctly are suspiciously questioning. Maybe he spent that time visiting museums in Rome?

If a shooter had Nazi posters in his house, and read Mein Kampf the motive would be all over the news.

But when a shooter belongs to an organization whose teachings include murdering non-believers, the media deliberately hide the motive and say that they just can’t figure out why such a nice boy would ever do such a thing.

Mass deportations.

He didn’t graduate from college until 11 years after he completed high school. Why is no one asking what he was doing during that time?

This link yesterday said Hasan had earned a degree from the Damascus University medical school in 1990. The site has since scrubbed the reference to Damascus. Hasan would have been only 20 years in 1990.
