In interviews with people who knew him he grew up in or near Roanoke, Virginia and always wanted to be in the military he grew up just like any other American... He's been in the army since before 9/11 and went in eager to serve his county despite his parents wanting him to do something else. He worked previously at Walter Reed trying to help returning soldiers cope with their problems coming back. Hes always been Muslim, he was not a convert. Apparently (and IM NOT in any way making excuses for what he did) he according to his friends and family was getting a lot of harassment over his ethnicity both directly or non directly from the general environment and other military members over his ethnicity over the past few years and wanted to leave the military. Then he got transferred to Ft., Hood for eventual deployment to Astan. Preliminary it Kinda sounds like the kid in school that got bullied one to many times... EDIT: the other two people who were initially arrested have been released... Its possible they were simply trying to stop the shooter and got caught up in the middle of it all.

Religion is sometimes thicker than blood or duty. How many more sleepers are out there? He should of resigned, not shoot up his fellow soldiers. May God comfort the ones involved. We have got to change course and our strategy here, it ain't working. Sign of the times as Rave would say. Wow!

Hey guys, I used to post AS gRASSHOPPER, BUT: On Sheperd Smith on FOX, his cousine said he did it because he was picked on. I guess in 39, Germany could have used that excuse... |

Se according to this article, the shooter is alive and in stable condition and under obvious military guard. Army: 12 dead, 31 hurt in attack at Fort Hood - Yahoo! News And I think they might have gotten his name reversed? Someone did anyhow. Because I saw and heard on Fox News it was Major Malik Nidal Hasan. And in the article I linked above they have it as MAjor Nidal Malik Hasan??? Not that it matter how it's spelled or what order it's put in in my book he's still a complete waste of God's good skin!

| I'm sure his lawyer won't let him say why he did it just yet until he “tells” him what to say. I don't buy the "got picked on" reasoning here. When I was in submarines, we got "pinged" on relentlessly and we didn't go at each other with Tommy Guns and .45 pistols, of which were in great supply. Same with the troops I saw in Iraq. They were armed everywhere they went and there wasn't any sudden acts of murder due to hard feelings there.

The shooter is still alive and in stable condition. He killed 12 people, and injured 31. I'm glad he's subject to the Uniform Code Of Military Justice instead of Texas Law, that way, he can still be hung. I don't give a damn what his reason was, he's a mass murderer and took the lives of a dozen people, they're gone, he took all they ever were and all they were ever going to be and left any children they may have had orphans. All he deserves is a stiff rope and a short drop, and I hope he lives just long enough and gets just well enough to walk up those 13 steps at Fort Levenworth. That's my personal opinion.

12 dead, 31 hurt! This jack a_ _ is still alive! This happened in Texas, and on a military base. They need to make a example out of him. And execute this fella! The Army base and nearby Killeen are left reeling after deadly shootings that left 31 people wounded. The suspect, Maj. Malik Nadal Hasan — a psychiatrist preparing to go to Iraq — was first said to be killed, then later reported alive. Houston news, entertainment, search and shopping | chron.com - Houston Chronicle This fella was a Muslim PSYCHIATRIST! Gee, I wonder how warped his patients are? And, what thought of him. BTW - the Girl who, they believe shot him, is in stable condition. Keep her and the other victims in your prayers!

So, now, the Left wing nuts will be demanding that they ban guns on Army Bases!

| Senior Member ![]() | ... fortunately, the 'Major' survived and will have to stand trial. (I say that because he was denied his 'easy out'). Sadly, I guessed he would be of Arab descent and I was correct ... even on a whim. ... I'm with ya Privateer ... I'm pretty ticked off as well. I was about ready to lock down our base today too. ... now, who is against racial profiling ?! Larry O |

Pretty sure the why has something to do with him recently converting to Islam and not liking the fact he was being sent to or back to Iraq or Afghanistan. That nor any other reason is going to make it any easier or better on the families of those he killed and wounded. No 72 virgins for this Islamic nutjob...

His cousin, gave a interview, on Greta's show. And said, he was always a Muslim. In another interview, with a Col. Terry Lee. It was reported he has been outspoken about the war. And that "Muslims" should stand up against the aggressors! Was a Obummer supporter, go figure.... As I always tell a Egyptian friend. Wait until these terrorists, find out that the "72 Virgins" are all hard core lesbians! ![]() ![]()

Hel-lo-o! The terrorists started this war by flying hijacked passenger jets into the World Trade Center and Pentagon, and let's not forget the crater they left in a farm field in Pennsylvania! Just WHO is the agressor here? That's right, THE MUSLIMS ARE!
