Hasan's aunt, Noel Hasan of Falls Church, Va., said he had been harassed..."He had listened to all of that and he wanted out of the military."

Smells like BS to me. He's a major, he could've resigned at any time.

“Smells like BS to me. He’s a major, he could’ve resigned at any time.”

Not that I give a *** about what this Hasan thinks, but maybe not. I have two college friends who joined the military (Navy, for the ones I know) via a program where they were Navy officers while going to medical school. It was a good way to finance a MD. While in med school and the post-med residency they received a military salary and all tuition is paid for. As part of it, they had a long commitment after schooling (over 10 years or so, I can’t remember what—it was not really relevant because both planned on staying in the Navy for at least 20 years).
