A Major created mass casualties at Fort Hood today. He wounded 38, killed 13. A pregnant woman was among the dead. Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan spoke out openly against the war, strange for a man who made his living working for the US Army. He stated that he believed the War on Terror was a war against Islam. He had orders to go to Iraq in the near future. Hasan told family members he felt mistreated due to his religion. He was reportely tr8ing to get out of the military before deployment.
Despite his opposition to the war and feelings of mistreatment he seemed to have no trouble at all living off the Army. He attended medical school at the Uniformed Services University, where he graduated from in 2003. He then completed his psychiatry residency and his disaster and military psychiatry fellowship at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. He finally completed these programs in June 2008. In July 2008 he reported for duty at Fort Hood, Texas. A mere 16 months later he was trying to get a release from the Army, claiming mistreatment, as he faced deployment orders. He used the US Army. They invested in him, paid for all his schooling, as well as paying him at the same time, all thinking he would work for them.
This was a man who had "Allah is Love" on a bumper sticker on his car in Arabic. A man who wore traditional Arab garb even though he was American born, and allegedly posted on the internet praising suicide bombers. Fort Hood's commanding general said witnesses have reported that the gunman yelled "Allahu Akbar," Arabic for "God is great," during the rampage.
Obama tells us not to jump to conclusions about him. Don't worry, Obama, there's no need to jump to conclusions, he let his feelings be known. He wore his treason on his sleeve and it was ignored, no doubt in some show of political correctness. He infiltrated our military, never hiding who he was. What have we become?
