Maj Hasan, aged 39, was a military psychiatrist and was reportedly due to be sent on a mission to Iraq.
His cousin said Maj Hasan - a US-born Muslim - had been resisting such a deployment.
“He hired a military attorney to try to have the issue resolved, pay back the government, to get out of the military. He was at the end of trying everything,”
Forcing someone to fight their co-religionists when they object is not a very smart move, especially when dealing with Islam.
I don’t believe in situational ethics. If something is a right action, it is always the right action. The operation of justice, imperfect as it is, is a right action. It is a human necessity, built into us all. The gunman needs to be tried and executed if and when found guilty.
Their names get spelled different ways, like Osama or Usama
Ah! Understood. Thanks.
