He was supposed to help her hero son - but all she saw in Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan's eyes was evil.
The mom of a soldier who received psychiatric treatment from the accused Fort Hood gunman said she was frightened of the psychiatrist from the very beginning of her son's stay at Walter Reed Medical Center.
"I looked into his eyes, and he scared me," Cindy Gagnier told the Daily News. "He made some comments to me that made me feel very uncomfortable, and I don't become uncomfortable very easily."
The New York-born mother of four was at her son Christian's bedside constantly after he suffered a traumatic brain injury in 2005 while fighting in Iraq.
The young veteran, who also is dealing with posttraumatic stress disorder, spent 18 months at Walter Reed, where Hasan spent six years on staff.
"[Hasan] said to me one time, 'They all need to come home,'" Gagnier recalled. "He said all the boys should come home.
"He was very blunt. He was very controlled," she said.
Hasan started his medical internship at Walter Reed in 2003 at the age of 33.
Gagnier virtually lived at Walter Reed during a difficult stretch of her oldest son's care.
During that time, she recalls Hasan as "not very empathetic."
"[Hasan] said it was all right for my son to leave the hospital, but it wasn't," Gagnier said.
She was so focused on getting Christian better that Gagnier, now a tireless advocate for other disabled Iraq and Afghan war veterans, did not make a formal complaint.
"Other doctors came to my side and helped me," Gagnier attests. "I was very watchful over my son."

They all need to come home, hunh? Sounds like Harry Reid, Nancy Piece of crap, and who’s that other guy? Oh yeah, Murtha. V’s wife.
The Army says this is not terrorism ... because they
had prior knowledge in conversations and even medical lectures
where beheading was taught (but this promotes diversity so is encouraged).
The White House says this is not terrorism ... because they
knew in advance including at a homeland security conference
(but guilty American soldiers deserve it).
The other Islamic plants in the DOD say this is not terrorism ... because they
had all shared good times planning atrocities with him at the local strip club
and even the historic 911- planning mosque where the 911 Atrocities were planned.
bttt
Not surprised. The shooter was oppressed by the spiritual enemy.
Fort Hood had an extremely high suicide rate.
I would be interested in knowing how many soldiers this individual counseled.
According to the F.B.I.and the S.P.L.C., it is never terrorism unless they can connect it to someone who is White, supposedly against abortion, supposedly a Christian, and supposedly a milita member. Then it is terrorism.
Short and simple and right on target. Thank you sir.
My Senators are Bill Nelson and Martinez’s replacement. Would be a total waste of time and effort better spent doing something else.
Thanks for the links. Reading over the weekend it’s hard to conclude anything other than the Army knew this guy serious trouble- he gave clues everywhere.
This is not the Army we knew just a few short years ago. They are knowingly harboring the enemy.
Twilight Zone.
We shouldn’t have to worry about our sons and daughters being struck down and hamstrung by jihadist in our own home.

We shouldn’t have to worry about our sons and daughters being treated for psychiatric and emotional injuries by jihadists in our own home.
The Washington Post went ballistic about physical conditions at an old motel being used as a barracks for some Walter Reed Patients. Remember the peeling paint and mold in a bathroom that was used to smear the Army’s “care of our troops”?
For this fanatic to have professional access to wounded troops for six years there is magnitudes of times worse. It makes me crazy to think what he probably did to hundreds of fragile minds.
I love your tag. Thank you and thanks to your sons!!! You made it so easy to contact our Senators with your link that I have already emailed mine while eating my breakfast. Do it everybody!!!
She has every right to be scared. She is looking the enemy right in the eye.
Check ABC radio this morning. they’re reporting that the CIA had been on to Hasan for several months but didn’t tell the Army.
It’s time to start to blame Obama on this one. It’s his pick who heads up the CIA.
If this had happened under Bush, the press would be all over this.
I can't think of anything more sadistic than to let an Islamic extremist loose to counsel injured troops returning from a war against Islamic extremists.
