" The official said Hasan had indicated he didn't want to go to Iraq but was willing to serve in Afghanistan."

Hey major, this is the military, not Burger King. Special orders do upset them. You will go where and when they assign you to go. You will salute and say aye, aye sir. And you will carry out your orders.

For being in the Army so long, he sure didn't learn too much about the military.

Now they are saying he was Enlisted solider before going to Virginia Tech? VT ROTC is saying they have no record of him according to the Roanoke Times. There is a timing problem to this story.

Troubling portrait of emerges of news coverage that can't possibly allow itself to ponder the dangers of members of the Religion of Peace who suffer from Sudden Jihad Syndrome.

If I offend anyone - tough. I try to keep my remarks as neutral as I can online. I have been writing about the fact that everyone is a victim and we just need to ignore them and the activists that support them. However, I am so angry that undeniable political correctness and the fear of offending Muslims allowed a group of our young men to die. F*&%$## CAIR and all the proponents of the Religion of Peace who are not helping one wit. If the Army had moved against this nut case, the ACLU and all the liberal intelligensia would have scathing criticisms. It is time to ignore them and let our voices be heard. We welcome all legal immigrants but when the come here, they come to be Americans. No more African-Americans, Muslim-Americans, Mexican-Americans. We are Americans and if we don’t look at everyone in a blind fashion, then we should shun those that don’t.

How did this guy ever attain the rank of Major?

He was a doctor. They start out as Captain and if I am not mistaken, all you need to do to be promoted to Major is to finish your residency.

Count this ole' jarhead in. I'll show up with my properly attired militia rifle. I'll also bring along several others for those in need of a proper militia rifle.

Do you have pictures of our militia uniform and do we get an evening dress uniform for formal events? : )

The image painted is of a sharp 30 year old immigrant with a missing 9 years since high school for him to be 39.

His Virginia Medical credentials records show him as having graduated med school in 2003, completed his residency in 2007, and his fellowship in 2009.

So he graduated med school at 33, which seems awfully old. What was he doing in his 20's?

[Old Teufel Hunden]

How long would his obligation to the service be if they paid for his college to become a doctor? Would he still be obligated for a lot more years after his residency and do you think that is why he couldn’t get out of the Army?

[Old Teufel Hunden]

"What was he doing in his 20's?"

I had heard reports that he was formerly enlisted for 8 years. If he went in out of highschool, that would take him to 26.

[Big Horn]

How did this guy ever attain the rank of Major?

How did he get the plum by getting chosen to get his medical education free while drawing his military pay?
This was a huge mistake giving him the prize and someone did a p poor job of checking his back ground.

[r9etb]

What was he doing in his 20's?

He served as an enlisted guy for 8 years. It's in the article.

[squarebarb]

I think I saw his pic. in a Va. Tech ROTC graduation notice or album on an earlier thread.

[Kozak]

Stand down ALL MUslims in the armed forces.

Naw. Assign them all to mine clearing duty....

[iowamark]

At least six months ago, Hasan came to the attention of law enforcement officials because of Internet postings about suicide bombings and other threats, including posts that equated suicide bombers to soldiers who throw themselves on a grenade to save the lives of their comrades.

They had not determined for certain whether Hasan is the author of the posting, and a formal investigation had not been opened before the shooting, said law enforcement officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to discuss the case.

The FBI had information that a US Army Major was treasonous but didn't bother to investigate?

[hennie pennie]

I'm simply too startled to be angry. HOW was he allowed to remain in the military, given all the multiple warning signs????

Can you imagine that a massacre of this magnitude can occur on a military base???

And they want us to go shopping at the MALL??

How many copykats are coming out of the shadows now that they realize the simplicity of carrying out mayhem & murder??

I can't believe that this could occur at Fort Hood - I mean I know it DID occur, but this is UTTER MADNESS!!!!!!!!

Actually he was on the Baraqqi list to "fast track" to Surgeon General.

[ValerieTexas]

I work at a mall - the aisles are full of kiosks run by middle-easterners who harrass and intimidate shoppers walking by. We complain daily to the mall office, and so do our customers. These young aggressive kiosk workers come to America for these crappy jobs.... really?

[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

The press is barley mentioning this (imagine if this a pro-life demonstrator).

On Fox a minute ago they were trying to puzzle out whether he had religious motivations.

They couldn't come to any rash conclusions of course...

Imagine if he'd hollered "Jesus is Lord."

[hennie pennie]

In your research, did you find any details about Hasan being in ROTC? Where is there a record of it, if any?

[PogySailor]

SRM is already turning him into a victim. He was “harrassed because of his Muslim faith” seems to be the going talking point.
