“Why was Hasan still in the military?”
Why, indeed?
Michelle Malkin has a good round-up of articles about Hasan and the Fort Hood shooting, especially as Islam relates to the event.
Short version: it does. And no, not all Moslems are terrorists, or even the majority. But yes, Islam is a religion that tends to foster and promote these sorts of acts, and with a history of proselytizing through armed conflict.
But what I’m wondering is this: why, with the huge number of red flags raised by Hasan’s prior behavior and remarks (supporting jihadist suicide bombers, for example), was Hasan still in the military? Why was he about to be posted to a war zone, as well? Why was he still practicing psychiatry? I’d like to know more about what attempts were made by the military to investigate him, what the findings were, and why nothing was done.
I realize that hindsight is 20/20. But we are learning things about this man that were already known to the military prior to the shooting, things that common sense dictates should have caused more of a reaction.

This guy sent red flags in medical school. PC has been overused IMO. This guy should NEVER have been allowed to finish a medical program, let alone a psych residency.
My explanation is in line with mcnorman: The processes that would have removed any non-Muslim exhibiting the same behavior were nerfed by political correctness.
