well this chaps not the first yank to go apes--t with a gun and i doubt he will be the last.

imo they need to find out why he did this [preferably before he is lynched] if it was because he was/is mentally unstable then he needs help ,if it was however an act of terrorism then i'm sure he'll end up on death row .

its also just possible he was terrified at the prospect of deployment and it sent him over the edge
i know faced with the prospect of going into this hell hole i would be scared ,very scared ..

He wanted to leave the army some years ago.
was that after 9/11/2001?

It was in the last five years - BBC
Quote:
He had joined the military over the wishes of his parents, who have since died, his aunt said. Despite his recent attempts to leave, "he would tell us the military was his life".
Several reports said Maj Hasan was about to be deployed overseas against his wishes.
"We've known over the last five years that was probably his worst nightmare," his cousin, Nader Hasan, told Fox News.
Here's his bio in the Washington Post

Major Nidal Malik Hasan worshipped at a mosque led by a radical imam said to be a "spiritual adviser" to three of the hijackers who attacked America on Sept 11, 2001.

For goodness sake!!!

Do you really think that the US military would have allowed him that?

Allowed him what, to worship? anything else they didn't know until now, did they?

To be associating with "people of interest." Not hardly likely to happen, is it.

If they knew they wouldn't have no. they obviously didn't know.

Oh c'mon...one of their officers, a psychiatrist, who gets to hear all the innermost thoughts of those returning from the front, is not kept an eye on?

Why? because he's Muslim, because he's a psychiatrist? because it later transpires that he shot a load of people?

No, because he "gets to hear all the innermost thoughts of those returning from the front."
