This guy was cited for having poor job performance and yet, he was allowed to continue working on the base & to be deployed? Our men in women in uniform deserve to have the very best & a dr with "poor job performance" just isn't good enough. Also, why didn't someone talk to him about the radical comments he made? Many who are sick enough to do this latch on to hate groups...whether is is Timothy McVey or this guy. There is something wrong with them to begin with & we can blame religion or whatever but to me, it is the individual. He made a choice!

@charles Oh please. Just because someone is a muslim, he shouldn't be allowed to serve? Way to be a bigot. It's stances like that that are major part of the worlds problems. Just because he isn't the same religion as you doesn't mean that he shouldn't afford the same freedoms and liberties. Everybody want's to blame all the problems on something else. Oh he was middle eastern, he was muslim, he was this, he was that. What about the CHRISTIANS in the US that commit acts that are just as haneous? Oh, no problem there, because they believe in the right religion though... The whole situation seems very similar to a lot of other mass killings. The person seemed normal. Everyone that knew him is shocked. etc. etc. And to those thinking he was a terrorist... If so, he is a stupid one, because he could have done far more damage with what he had at his disposal/access to if he was intent on it.

I think what bothers me the most is that people can't see the forest though the trees here. The pieces to the puzzle are clear. The man is Muslim and a psychiatrist. He sees soldiers that come back from a country where there are Muslims that hate Americans and torture them mercilessly. He is a member of our Army, going to a hostile country of Muslims who hate Americans and torture mercilessly. He would probably be working the front lines. If this man were to be captured by our hostile enemies, then found to be of Muslim faith, what would his faite be? No wonder he was fighting deployment and going back. If all you see is h*ll fire and torture awaiting you then having had listened to all the horror stories of those coming back and then realizing a worse faite could befall you. Would you not snap too? No matter who you told there would be no compassion, its a mission soldier you must serve, is what he is told....there would be no way out....eventually your mind cannot handle the press

Anonymous at 11:12 and 6:05 on 11/5: You are a primary example of the ignorance of the "general public". The implications of pulling all of our troops would be catastophic! We need to be in the middle east until the job is done. If not, we will not have the type of intel or presence to keep another 9/11 for occuring again. Lets take this story for what it is, a horrible situation on a military base not to mention an act of treason by a Major (which is punishable by death). Charles, you may be right. This may very well could have been a "sleeper Muslim".

This is a horrible tragedy and all these people with prejudices and hate are making it worse. Not all Muslims hate the US and are going to come killing people. There are some fanatics as there are in any religion, but expressing your ignorance of people as a whole is just ridiculous. My prayers go out to the families of those who were lost and injured. I pray that this war comes to an end and we can begin to find peace again.

I beg to differ with a post stating the majority of Americans don't want to be at war. Speak for yourself! Let's not blames this mass murder on the war. This man is a sociopath!

March 23, 2003: African-American Hasan Akbar, 31, killed 2 & injured 14 in on a base in Kuwait. Oct. 22, 2007: Clarence Jackson (no age or race given) killed 2 & himself on a base in Bahrain. Sept. 14, 2007: Caucasian American Joseph C. Bozicevich, 39, killed 2 on a base in Iraq. May 11, 2009: Caucasian American John M. Russell killed 5 on a base in Iraq. No – this is not an Islamic issue; this is an issue about the U.S. being at war for so long it is pushing our soldiers to the limit on their stress level.

Terrorist - Definetely!!! But the liberal media will try to say he snapped from not wanting deployment!! According to Fox, he was pressured into joining the military by his muslim parents. Hmmmm..... He was muslim.... in Islam, he is considered a martyr for murdering the westerners...

This is the same as the terrorist that join the Iraq Police or Military in order to kill them or attempt to kill Americans. Just another sleeper Muslim terrorist. If you are Muslim you have no business serving in the US Armed Forces. I am a vet.

There was a General being interviewed on Fox News. He was complaining about America's reaction to us being at war. He said you walk onto any military base and you know we are at war. You step off of that base into the general public and no one seems to act as though we are at war. Mr. President and Congress, I believe that is your answer. Although we support and pray for our troops, the majority of Americans do not believe in what we are doing and want our troops home, where they belong.

Malik Nadal Hasan sounds like a moslem name. Moslems should not be allowed to serve in the military since we are at war with them right now.

My brother is stationed at Ft. Bliss which is many miles away from Ft. Hood and even he was unable to talk for very long on the phone as a precaution.

My husband is there and I can't get ahold of him. They aren't allowing anyone to call out apparently. I am sick with worry! |

Iraq and Afganistan does have a definate connection. Do you not remember the fact that Saddam was a tyrant? He was building weapons he shouldn't have been building and was funding muslim extremists. And yes, warheads were found (an empty warhead is still a warhead and shows obvious intent). Of coarse it doesn't matter what I say, because everyone has their opinion. The only difference is that my views and opinions are not based on what I seen on CNN.
As a veteran I was disappointed in the use of the phrase Military Massacre for the incident at Fort Hood on Fridy evenings news broadcast I thought that to be very distasteful.
VS, It does matter how many were Saudis because we retaliated against the wrong country. We will no more win the war on Muslim extremism than we did the war on drugs; remember how that turned out? Muslim extremism is also here in our country, this Fort Hood shooting is an example. How can we stop the extremism in foreign countries when we can’t even stop it in our own? I agree Bin Laden needs to be taken out, but the point I'm trying to make is this. After 9/11, we did not defend ourselves and now we are treated like cowards by these extremists. We started a war which cannot be won and will last until Christ returns. Our sons and daughters cannot sustain this war for eternity and how can we take out Muslim extremism when we can't even remove the child molesters from our society.
Gena let come to your defense. It don't matter 15 of those on 9-11 where Saudi. The War is against Muslim extremist Which is almost every Country in the Middle east. We're after Bin Laden in case you forgot, Which dispite the lies of the left, does have a connection with Iraq and Afghanistan.
Iraq has nothing to do with 9/11 - it's been proven over and proven there is no connection.
Well all i got to say is im sick of seeing our troops coming home and being crazy including my family members!! I havent forgot about 9/11 but come on I was in 8th grade when it happened and here i am now 22 years old dont think this has gone on for too long for what for NOTHING!!! I havent seen any good in what is going on!!!
I can not believe all of the anti-American's posting empathy for this murderer.
Gena, since you have brought 9/11 into this, do you know the facts? 15 of the 19 hijackers on Sept. 11, 2001 were Saudi citizens. Now why are we at war in Iraq and Afghanistan instead of with Saudi Arabia? See, I am one of those you speak of and I have not forgotten 9/11. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor did we drop the atom bomb on Germany? No, we defended ourselves against those who attacked us. But, after 9/11 we did not defend ourselves from those who attacked us. That is why most of us are against these wars and we are sick and tired of our sons and daughters fighting the old man’s wars.
And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.
Does it not seem ironic that the reason so many people honor our military is the fact that they are fighting for our freedom, yet this man who was an american citizen, was so harrassed, and belittled for doing exactly what this country is so famous for, having freedom of speech, religion. Yet this same country will give millions to an idiot from another country that is good at sports, and refuses to be a citizen!!!!! Go figure the reasoning?
COWARD! That is the only word other than tragedy that comes to mind when I think about what happened at the base. Because of what the men and women in the Armed Forces do, I have the right...no, the privilege to say what I want on this post without worrying about being punished for it. I can walk down the street and not worry about road side bombs. I can feel safe in my home. COWARD! The states is where soldiers feel safe and you have taken that away from them. Whatever the motive, personal or religious, you are a COWARD!
Some of you people need something else to do! Just because someone has a foreign name does not make them a terrorist! If you read the stories you'll find out that this guy was actually born and raised in the USA which makes him an American citizen by birth! If someone has a different religion does not mean he/she is automatically bad! I also read that he had an impeccible record as a psychiatrist and that he helped our mentally wounded soldiers wherever he could! I'm not defending the actions he took yesterday, that was very wrong and he needs to be punished for it. In my opinion this guy just simply blew a gasget, went crazy or something and did what he did. My prayers go out to all the families involved. Oh, and for all you negative nancy's out there.... I was not born in this country but am a Citizen now... Does that automatically make me a terrorist???
This guy had blogs and articles about suicide bombings, etc.
This is for all the people who made to comments about being against the war. Have you forgot about 9/11, or do you just not care?
Just ANOTHER reason to carry a gun at ALL times...EVERYWHERE you go! Get you're Concealed Carry Permit,don't wait 5-10-15 minutes for the police to show up..you will be dead by then!
