Fort Hood shooting – thing in my mind…. this guy was a psychiatrist working at Walter Reed (until he got word he was being sent to Iraq) treating returning veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan for PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). These returning soldiers with adjustment problems are now supposed to talk about their issues with a muslim palestinian arab psychiatrist who opposed our involvement in the Middle East? What was the Army thinking?

Good point. Also, what was the mindset of the military to deploy a soldier with such obvious psychological problems. He was written up at Walter Reed and transferred to Fort Hood. His internet writings praising suicide bombers were reported to his superiors…why would they then deploy him?
1) He has a pulse and the military is running out of people to deploy
2) He’s an officer
3) Because the Army paid for his medical education, he couldn’t quit even if he repaid the cost (I spent last night at the home of a retired Air Force veteran who has some friends in the military who are muslim, and was agitated at the possibility of a reaction within the military)
4) I’m guessing he is fluent in Arabic… while he was born and grew up in the United States, his parents were Palestinian Arabs from Jordon, and he went to the Mosque every day for prayers.
