I didn't miss it. I believe he was afraid to go to Afghanistan.

This is bullshit. Nobody who is in a position to know has said anything LIKE this.


Except that's what the people who worked with him and his family are saying. I guess they don't count.

He didn't want to go because he, as a Muslim, didn't want to fight in a war he was opposed to. That simple.

It costs tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of dollars to put a soldier through training. In this case, because he received medical training in addition, it was even more. Maybe a million dollars or more.

You don't just get to walk away from it because of the war we happen to be engaged in. It doesn't work that way, the sorry bastard KNEW it didn't work that way, so that's that.


I don't disagree with you. That doesn't change the fact that human nature is what it is and people want out once they've gotten what they wanted. By no measure, do I believe Hasan was a classy guy.

If you were an American, you would understand. Being an America-hater, and a member of the blame-America-first-and-often crown, you think there is justification for his actions. There isn't. He should be tried, convicted, and put to death. Next week, if possible.

Asshole. I have never said once there was justification for his actions. Not once! What he did was horrific.....one of the worst US crimes in this young century. The only difference between you and I.....and its a big difference.......I am not ready to decide why he did what he did nor to blame his religion for it......until all the evidence is out and in the open.
