WOW !

Fox news and Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson (TX) is reporting that the man that was killed was a Major.

This means he was an officer and had about 12 or 15 years of service.

I would have expected a private , but not a senior officer.

Not that it diminishes the crime, but not what I would have expected.

Hasan was a mental health professional - an Army psychologist or psychiatrist

This is my rifle. There are many like it but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my rifle is useless. Without my rifle I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy, who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will. Before God I swear this creed: my rifle and myself are defenders of my country, we are the masters of our enemy, we are the saviors of my life. So be it, until there is no enemy, but peace. Amen.

It was widely reported that Hasan was the 'primary' shooter but now there is some question if he was the only shooter. Hasan was said to be carrying two handguns, and was ultimately killed by civilian police. According to early reports, the dead shooter was a soldier who was due to be deployed, but had spoken many times about not wanting to go.
Hasan was an officer, a major, who did not want to be deployed and was upset about the war, per FOX News early reports. He also reportedly was an Islam convert. His name as being reported by the Associated Press is Army Maj. Malik Nadal Hasan. He is also being reported as an Army psychiatrist, reports the Army Times.
