My heart and prayers go out to all the victims, their families and friends.
From all the news reports it appears this Major is a career military man and that in his current position for less than a year and was not going well. He did not want to be deployed and in fact wanted out of the Army, so he paid back his military student loans and hired an attorney.
The reason may have been that he was being harassed and called names like “camel jockey ”. I guess all that sensitivity training for those with bigotry tendencies are all for not. (Can training real change the way you were brought up?)
Another reason is called PTSD by proxy, the stress of treating PTSD in other soldiers make you go a little crazy yourself. Its even more stressful because most of the higher ranks don’t even believe in such thing as PTSD. Their denial prompts them to tell suffering soldiers to “drink it off.” Some civilians in the defense dept feel the same way no doubt IMO, it’s why hardly anything is mentioned of PTSD until one of these violent episodes occurs. These people see PTSD as a cop-out or an excuse. First we need to have an understanding that PTSD actually is real before we can ever hope to help treat it (does anyone believe that being shot at or killing your fellow man is not going to affect you in some way either then or in the future?). I guess with the high soldier suicide rate before and after deployment kinda takes care of the complaints from coming in (so those who said he should have just killed himself, well that’s already happening ). What real ticked me off when I heard that the military was trying to say that some soldiers coming back from this war with PTSD or other psychological disorders had “Pre-Existing Conditions” and that the military would not pay to treat them, I think it has been corrected but what a bunch of asses they break you and don’t want to pay.
The final issue is why does the military want to keep people in their ranks that no longer want to be there is it just sheer number? I mean is it ten percent, twenty percent. Is it that it is the only contract in the US that you can’t get out of unless to kill yourself or kill your fellow soldiers? It does not make any sense to me.
I guess the Major could just be another wacko like Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nicholas, of course McVeigh was executed and apparently because Nicholas became a Christian he received a life sentenced. I real think if he gets that far the Major will get the former and not in a million years the latter.
This is so messed up, hopefully they will make some changes that make sense.
We need to remove all muslims from the USA military. This deal at Fort Hood is not the first problem, and will not be the last with muslims in our military. They are too unpredictable because of their fanaticism over allah who was little more than a child molester. History proves this. 11-07-10
Montana — The military had given this man six years of free higher education with pay and benefits. If they had allowed him to buy off his commitment to serve, they would have not had the psychiatrist in place whom they had invested in him to develop. Hasan would have trotted off to civilian life with all that education and made MORE than the six-figure income that he was reaping in the military.
If the military didn’t take steps to make people honor their commitment to serve as the price of receiving very expensive, specialized education, how many people would scam them in that way?
As for PRE-traumatic stress syndrome, PUL-ezze! PTSS by proxy! PUL-eeze! Why don’t you marry this guy when he comes out of his coma?
As a woman I have endure many worse words than “camel jockey” and many worse events than having my car keyed and my “Allah is Love” bumpersticker torn off my car. I have never gone on a killing spree to express my unhappiness over life’s imperfections.
This guy was a terrorist either by self-election or through some scheme that we will learn of as the investigation proceeds.
Frank Hines – Are you kidding me? Do you not remember what happened the last time we began openly discriminating against U.S. citizens based on such factors? Have you forgotten the backlash and horrors of the Japanese during WWII? You speak of history, and then you suggest taking extreme steps to deal with a minority within a largely peaceful religious group, a step that has proven ineffective in the past.
I don’t know whether to laugh, or vomit.
“As a woman I have endure many worse words than “camel jockey” and many worse events than having my car keyed and my “Allah is Love” bumpersticker torn off my car.” I am sorry you continue in an abusive relationship that real sucks. I do not understand your comment about “free higher education” when he had student loans (I guess in the end nothing is real free). And if it real about gaming the system and Army monetary losses, do we all not lose when soldiers are killed in battle or like they did in Ft. Hood? PTSD should probably go back to it original name: shell-shocked, more people can easily understand the meaning.
I am deeply saddened that our men and women were killed on American soil. May the killer live a life of hell in his lifeless body……he can live in his own personal prison.
I guess the US military will carry out detail questioning as to why he did it and will prove all of us wrong.
After that happens, I know some will still believe there point still has some merit.
Earlier this year Sgt. John Russell, 44 (Catholic), of Sherman, Texas, is in custody at Camp Liberty in Baghdad where he apparently opened fire at a combat stress clinic Monday, killing five U.S. soldiers.
Montana – Sometimes PTSD is to blame. In this case, I doubt it. Hassan had ties to radicals years prior to his beginning to exhibit stress about being in the military. Maybe the stress of shipping out when he was exposed to the effects on some soldiers was a factor, but chances are his beliefs, which were becoming more dangerously extreme, were to blame.
