This tragedy today leaves us all saddened and glued to the news.....I join everyone in their prayers for the family and friends of the men and women killed and injured today.....

Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan was born and raised in the United States.. He is a psychiatrist from Virginia.

From what we know so far the Major was terrified of being sent to Iraq or Afghanistan and made it known on numerous occasions to family members it was what he feared most.. after  listening to the horror stories from his military clients coming home from the war.......

As to whether this is what triggered today's events that pushed this misguided soul to pull the trigger and kill fellow army soldiers is not yet know...

What is even more tragic is that because of his name it leads some to YELL "Terrorist"

God Help Us..........and Forgive Us......

All I do know is this is a sad day at Fort Hood.

By Black Hills Today

Major Nidal Malik Hasan - Shooter and Killer at Ft. Hood Texas was just promoted in May of 2009 to Major reports US Army Times

The Army major suspected of opening fire on soldiers as they were preparing to deploy overseas at the massive Fort Hood military base in central Texas Thursday was an Army psychiatrist who recently completed training in treating traumatic stress disorder at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in the nation's capital.

Virginia state medical licensing records list a Nidal Malik Hasan as a psychiatrist for the Army Medical Corps, with his primary practice at Darnall Army Medical Center at Fort Hood.

At least 12 people were killed (Including Hasan) and 31 wounded in a shooting at Fort Hood Army Base near Killeen, Texas, when at least one gunmen opened fire on soldiers who were making their final deployment preparations.

S Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison of Texas told FOX News: "I do know that he has been known to have told people that he was upset about going (to Iraq)."

Virgina Board of Medicine 

Hasan is from Virginia, and was single with no children. He was 39 years old. They report he is a graduate of Virginia Tech University, where he was a member of the ROTC and earned a bachelor's degree in biochemistry in 1997.

According to Lt. Gen. Bob Cone at Fort Hood, the shooter used two handguns in the attacks at the Soldier Readiness Center on Thursday around 1:30 CDT. The gunman was then shot and killed by a civilian policeman.

Black Hills Today staff send their thoughts and prayers to the families and friends killed and injured in this horrible crime.

This is so very sad Linda Mae, and just insane that people are screaming about terrorism before finding out the facts.  Let these poor families grieve and find out the truth...

Let me get this straight ...

You're outraged because some people are calling him a terrorist? 

To make my position clear, everytime I see his face I involuntarily call him something I would not publish on the web.  I curse him as a traitor of the lowest order. 

I'm outraged because we paid for his education. We fed him. We clothed him.  We provided him with every benefit the military could offer. And then, when we asked for something in return he turned and fired weapons upon Americans who had no control over anything that was happening to him.  He joined an all-volunteer military to get education, pay and benefits. When the country asked something of him, he fired upon fellow Americans ...

And you're posting ... not once but TWICE ... telling people not to call him a terrorist?! 

I'm not sure if he's a terrorist because I'm not sure exactly what the definition means and exactly what he wanted to accomplish. But, I'll tell you this: he deserves every single epitath you can heap on him. He deserves no empathy, no pity and no mercy of any kind. This is as close to evil as you will find in America.

I'll tell you some facts that these families already know and that you seem to be you painfully unaware of. Anyone who has ever been in the military knows that this man plotted the deaths of his fellow soldiers. Non-combat personnel do not have easy access to weapons, especially weapons off the firing range. He had to acquire his weapons from our arsenal through deceit and planning. Then he had to assemble several magazines full of ammunition, most likely by ordering or purchasing rounds off-base.  (Ammunition is strictly inventoried on posts like his.) Thus, he did not snap from pressure. He didn't "go postal".

He most assuredly planned a traitorous helping of mass murder.

I'm sure you are a very nice lady, and you probably mean well, but lecturing others and coming to the defense of a murderous traitor does not befit you. Measuring the evil of this traitor against other evils is an exercise in the ridiculous, and picks fights with those with whom you have no fight. 

For God's sake, let people mourn and react as they want.  It doesn't hurt anyone when people call him names. He was allowed to spew his racist vitriol even when he wore the uniform of his country. Thus, his fellow Americans should be allowed to form their own opinions and express those opinions.

It's petty parade for you to chastise grief and outrage.

Will,

if you are directing your first comment to me...I am not sure why you have assumed such a thing......

I feel no outrage at anyone for what ever they wish to call this man....What i did FEEL within the first hour of this incident occurring was great sadness that many were screaming Terrorist as soon as they heard his name...i found that fact disheartening as to the attitude that we as Americans are still harnessed with such Strong anti-Arab anti-Muslim feelings since 9/11..

I am not saying these feelings are unfounded..... The actions that were taken against America and now our Military are acts of the most unimaginable Evil known to mankind....

Major Hasan is pure evil and a coward... I can only pray that he slipped so deep into Insanity that he is a Mass Murderer who Terrorized innocent men and women... Most who were and are serving their country valiantly.....

Because the repercussions of this being a purely religious Jihadist attack will leave a rippling effect of fear against all Muslims in our Military that will be sad for those of Arab dissent or the Muslim religion that are Proud Americans serving in our Military...

If they prove beyond doubt he was born and raised in America and turned on his brothers in Arms how can any Muslim ever be trusted again.... They Can't in my opinion....

To me yelling Jihad Terrorist before we know only helps to grow the fear in our armed forces serving next to other Muslims... Just my opinion...

Thanks for sharing yours......
