Why did Major Nidal Malik Hasan (39), kill? Could the killings have been avoided? The FBI had reportedly identified him as a potential threat and informed the Army accordingly. His postings on a blog-site on the internet had been a worry for the FBI. In these postings, he is reported to have compared suicide bombers to heroic soldiers who are fighting for the cause of liberation – they throw themselves on bombs to save others. Major Hasan saw the Americans as the aggressors in Iraq and in Afghanistan and was not ready to go on posting to Afghanistan where he had been transferred. However, the Army had not acted on the information provided by the FBI – if it had, the incident could have been avoided. The Major had been injured and was presumed to have been killed but is alive and has been kept on ventilator.

he must really have been suffering in the army to go to all the length just to try to escape and get out.

it is actually a psychological case ... it was shown wonderfully in the rambo series of movies (the first blood) ... the horror of the vietnam war took its toll on those who returned home in one piece ...
