Shooter is a Major in the Army and he's a Psychiatrist for the military.

Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan ... supposedly a recent convert to Islam was just stated.

The press is pissing me off on this... claiming PTSD... Whatever.. The reports that I heard was that he was upset about having to get deployed soon.

WTF!

Just like in UK, doctors.

The efforts of radical islam will sink that religion unless those with a brain denounce it.

I am def quite interested in knowing if he was a recent convert to Islam. It's quite clear that he wanted to serve his country(ROTC in college, USUHS, etc).
This article states that he was 39, but if he graduated college in 1997 at the age of 22, and then got his MD at 26(in 2001) it would seem that he is 34. Interesting to note that he was also unmarried.

Should've kicked his ass out the minute he converted. POS.

Glad they killed the cowardly scum already as the FBIs way to end hostage disputes in the Waco area is to burn everyone alive.

I'm on my 12th deployment to the sandbox. At least for me, a contractor, I can quit at any time, unlike most currently in the military.
Deploying to the Main and Secondary AO's just suck, period! I can understand his frustration.

Regardless, this Major Nidal Malik Hasan does not have the right to take the lives of the innocent. This is so unfortunate.

Unfortunate? I think you didnt understand what happened there.

Shep was talking to his cousin, he has always been muslim, not a convert.
He had never been to Iraq or Afghanistan, was set to deploy in Jan.
He was getting more and more vocal; "it is wrong for the US to be over there, muslims should not fight muslims..."
His cousin said he does not understand why he did this "he is a great American" Bullsh*t he lost all that when he pulled the trigger.

He has been in since before 9/11, if he really didn't want to go to war he could have gotten out years ago.

My point exactly. It also seems that he was not killed and is under guard at the hospital.

Per the AP news:

At least six months ago, Hasan came to the attention of law enforcement officials because of Internet postings about suicide bombings and other threats, including posts that equated suicide bombers to soldiers who throw themselves on a grenade to save the lives of their comrades.

Rest in peace to those who lost their lives.

Best wishes to those wounded.

I volunteer to put a bullet in Hasans head.

Nothing more to say.
