Welcome back....good to see you again!
I am from vancouver,canada and i was in the canadian armed forces back in the 1960s.Back then suicides and harasments in the armed forces were common to but you didn’t hear about it like you do today.Its a sign that there are serious problems in the armed forces.If people are not treated like human beings they are not going to act like human beings.These people in the armed forces are been lied to concerning what is going on in the world.It is a lot easier these days to find out the truth than it was thirty or forty years ago.
There got to be a change in gov. before there is any change in the armed forces.It will be the working class that will make that change.In the mean time things will continue the way they are.
Your right and the army better get with the program. These wars are taking their toll not only on this man but the young soldiers returning back with no limbs, brain injuries and to a future with no job or assistance. It must be very difficult for these men and women who are brave….but also very human.
We believe they are being pushed beyond their limits and the cracks are starting to multiply. This man at the very least should have been allowed to resign, who says you are in your country’s debt for the rest of your life? We think the fat guys on Wall Street smoking cuban cigars should be on a couple of never ending tours of duty in Iraq and the Afghan mountain range.
Thanks for your comment

You know… The funny thing is, is that ABC and several other news outlets are reporting that Major Nidal Hasan, the Ft. Hood killer, had contacts with numerous Muslim extremists and had visited jihadist “chat rooms” on the Internet. And anonymous FBI officials predict the details of his other suspicious activities will become public soon. I hope so. But there are a lot of important people, from the president to media mavens, who are obviously committed to convincing us that we shouldn’t believe our own eyes and ears.
First they suggested that Hasan was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Obama was pushing that idea earlier this week when he suggested that sometimes soldiers just “crack.” And it was the first and most popular speculation by reporters right after they told us not to jump to conclusions. But the PTSD explanation itself began to crack when it became apparent that Major Hasan had never been in combat and had never formally asked to leave the Army.
Now the “jihadist deniers” are suggesting Hasan was just plain crazy – paranoid, delusional, and a psychotic. His acts didn’t have anything to do with Islam, they argue. Rather, he had a chemical imbalance leading to some brain cells misfiring.
Under this theory, the Palestinian mother who encourages her children to become suicide bombers to kill Jews just needs some counseling. The jihadists who throw acid in the faces of little Afghan girls because they want to go to school could be helped with a prescription of Prozac. The American Muslims arrested in recent months in plots to attack Ft. Dix, Quantico, and other U.S. military bases could get counseling under universal health care. Perhaps President Obama should send 40,000 psychiatrists to Afghanistan instead of soldiers.
Islamofascism is by definition crazy, certainly by our standards. How else can one explain radical Muslims who hail the 9/11 hijackers as heroes, while at the same time arguing that the Jews or the CIA or both attacked America that day to provoke us to attack Muslim countries? Islamofascists are molded, directed and inspired by what the jihadists have concluded their faith requires of them. There are plenty of imams, Islamic “scholars,” Islamic schools, web sites, books, movies and mosques encouraging them to be “soldiers for Allah.”
If our leaders – after all the beheadings, homicide bombings, honor killings and other atrocities – still don’t get it, then I think the evidence is clear that they – not “crazy” Hasan – are the ones who are delusional.
The fact that Hasan was also a psychiatrist taking psychiatric drugs is also interesting fact. Good points and thanks for your comments.
