Thesis

The 1980 notion of politically correct by knowing this one could be intolerant of those that were not. To prevent free speech is there a law or regulation that stops anyone from exercising free speech?] To those they disagreed with this.

Introduction

On November 5, 2009 Major Nidal Malik Hasan a psychiatrist in the U.S. Army, opened fire at a Soldier Readiness Center on Fort Hood base in Texas. It resulted in the death of 13 soldiers and an unborn baby, and 30 others wounded. The U.S. army has to deal with tough difficulties but how they handle these difficulties in alignment to hold America protected is what is being question. The Washington Post headlines on 11/11/09 read “Hasan's Ties Spark Government Blame Game” “FBI, Pentagon Seek to Explain how Fort Hood Shooting Suspect's alleged extremist contacts didn't raise flags (http://rawstory.com).”

He is paralyzed from the waist down and being held under hefty guard in a protected locality of Brooke Army Medical Center at Fort Sam Houston, Texas.[4] Hasan has been ascribed with 13 enumerations of premeditated killing and 32 enumerations of tried killing under the Uniform Code of Military Justice; he may face added allegations at court-martial.

Meanwhile other red flags were going off and nothing was done. Hasan's coworkers that oversaw his methods on training become concern about his religious views, iritic behavior months before the shooting. He became a concern for his colleagues at Walter Reed Army medical Center but most importantly the military medical school. Hasan was warning his colleagues “decrease adverse events” meaning the military should allow Muslim soldiers to leave the army without objection instead of fighting against other Muslims.

Questions should be asked about all the opportunities that were missed to prevent such a tragedy. Most officials that have been interviewed speak anonymously as each agency is trying to shift the blame their rivals in other ...
