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.

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

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.

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

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

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

Such is Liberal LaLa Land!

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

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!

[Freedom2specul8]

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.

[WOBBLY BOB]

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

[ArrogantBustard]

Stress?

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

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.
