I guess the US military will carry out detail questioning as to why he did it and will prove all of us wrong.

After that happens, I know some will still believe there point still has some merit.

Earlier this year Sgt. John Russell, 44 (Catholic), of Sherman, Texas, is in custody at Camp Liberty in Baghdad where he apparently opened fire at a combat stress clinic Monday, killing five U.S. soldiers.

I know the US miltary will be making detailed interrogations nad may still find a reason that non of us have even brought up.

My heart and prayers go out to all the victims, and the victims family and friends.

From all the news reports it appears this Major is a career military man and that in his current position for less than a year and was not going well. He did not want to be deployed and in fact wanted out of the Army, so he paid back his military student loans and hired an attorney.

The reason may have been that he was being harassed and called names like “camel jockey ”. I guess all that sensitivity training for those with bigotry tendencies are all for not. (Can training real change the way you were brought up?)

Another reason is called PTSD by proxy, the stress of treating PTSD in other soldiers make you go a little crazy yourself. Its even more stressful because most of the higher ranks don’t even believe in such thing as PTSD. Their denial prompts them to tell suffering soldiers to “drink it off.” Some civilians in the defense dept feel the same way no doubt IMO, it’s why hardly anything is mentioned of PTSD until one of these violent episodes occurs. These people see PTSD as a cop-out or an excuse. First we need to have an understanding that PTSD actually is real before we can ever hope to help treat it (does anyone believe that being shot at or killing your fellow man is not going to affect you in some way either then or in the future?). I guess with the high soldier suicide rate before and after deployment kinda takes care of the complaints from coming in (so those who said he should have just killed himself, well that’s already happening ). What real pissed me off when I heard that the military was trying to say that some soldiers coming back from this war with PTSD or other psychological disorders had “Pre-Existing Conditions” and that the military would not pay to treat them, I think it has been corrected but what a bunch of asses they break you and don’t want to pay.

The final issue is why does the military want to keep people in their ranks that no longer want to be there is it just sheer number? I mean is it ten percent, twenty percent. Is it that it is the only contract in the US that you can’t get out of unless to kill yourself or kill your fellow soldiers? It does not make any sense to me.

I guess the Major could just be another wacko like Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nicholas, of course McVeigh was executed and apparently because Nicholas became a Christian he received a life sentenced. I real think if he gets that far the Major will get the former and not in a million years the latter.

This is so messed up, hopefully they will make some changes that make sense.

And the plot thickens: It has been uncovered that Hasan was a member of Obama's transition team! You can read about it at the following link:

Just makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. While our soldiers either lay in a morgue or in hospitals recovering as a result of an attack on American soil, our "commander in chief" of the armed forces is taking some "well deserved" rest and relaxation at camp David with his family after an exhausting day pressing flesh on Capitol Hill to get Obamacare passed! Oh, by the way, George W. and Laura visited the wounded today to offer their condolences.

Earlier this year, Army sergeant John Russell opened fire near a combat stress clinic at Baghdad's Camp Liberty and killed five of his fellow soldiers. No one speculated about any religious motivations.

It's funny how double standards work when it's a Christian holding the smoking gun and the blood of his fellow soldiers on their hands.

This amounts to some form of treason in my book, on the part of Hasan. Holy Cow, has political correctness cost us the lives of soldiers? SOB! I just cannot wrap my head around people not believing that Hasan was a danger after hearing what was said.
