It may take a military person to answer this question, but is there an anonymous process through which military personnel could have reported Hasan’s comments? I understand that anonymity would have reduced the consideration given to such complaints, but enough anonymous reports could/would have demonstrated the high likelihood of the threat that was eventually realized through Hasan’s actions.

Its already out that Hasan was brought to the attention of the military leadership. That means normal right thinking soldiers and officers told their superiors that this guy was a threat. Its not an issue of whether or not soldiers were afraid to report Hasan, its an issue about how the administration failed to listen. Red flags popped up all over the place, and if no one had the guts to report them, we wouldn’t know about them now.
