What I find strange is that this man was employed to deal with the psychological problems of the most mentally battle scarred men returning form the Middle East.
Even expats who have civilian jobs over there in safe countries, however culturally attuned and tolerant, breathe a sigh of relief when they return home and are back in their own element, back on Western soil. No more prayer calls, no more gender segregation, and none of the thousand little daily reminders that you are not home and are in a place that for most Americans is strange and alien if not outright hostile.
Imagine some grunt who has been on multiple deployments, who has seen and done God-knows-what over there and now finds that he can't function in the world once he returns home. The Army puts him in the charge of some joker who runs around in a thobe and beanie and who has a history of trying to convert his patients.
You know, I ain't never been to war in Iraq or Afghanistan and I've never been in the Army, but I can tell you for sure that the guys under Hasan's care must have cussed out the government that sent them over there.
Everyone that has anything to do with anything Federal including and especially the military has a screw loose in this danged country is all I can say.
In WWII we didn't send the Americans of Japanese descent to fight the Japanese. That was common sense. Today we send Muslim's to fight Muslim's. That's a lack of common sense. The military should either boot them the hell out altogether or allow them to fill other needs within the army.
One thing is for sure and that is that anyone saying the things the murderer was claimed to have said should have been booted out a long time ago. Those that knew he was saying these things and didn't report it should face some sort of UCMJ action and be booted out of the army. It is unacceptable for an officer or NCO in the United States Army to say he was scared to turn someone in because of the possible ramifications to his career. That shows a complete lack of moral courage and should NOT be the type of leader the army should want within their ranks.

But we did send those of German descent to fight the Germans.

Good point, but did we send Americans of German descent to fight the German's if they were opposed to doing it or did we send them to Japan? I don't know the answer to that question.
It seems to me that it would be much better to either boot Muslims out altogether or find other uses for them if they do not want to go to war against other Muslim's. Better that than risk having them do something harmful to those around them.
