Fort Hood killer Nidal Malik Hasan opposed wars, so why did he snap?
Duh. He was being sent into the war zone. The real question is... Fort Hood killer Nidal Malik Hasan opposed wars, so why was he a soldier?
The article states that "Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan was a soldier who didn't want to go to war." That's like being a bus driver who doesn't want to drive a bus.
At the beginning of the war, there were a lot of military families who were crying foul because their precious kids were being sent off to fight. "But they only enlisted in the military for the college money" was their cry. It's utterly stupid. But here we are eight years into the war. No one in the military has a right to be surprised that they might be sent into action.
