Thread: Double Standard US soldier who shot Afghanistan civilians & Major Hasan at Fort Hood

After reading the headlines today about the US soldier who shot up Afghanistan civilians, I couldn't help noticing an irony.

There is all this clamor to try this guy quickly and execute him, never mind his having suffered a traumatic brain injury.

Yet this Major Hasan, who shot up Fort Hood while screaming 'Allah akbar', still hasn't stood trial, and they are still debating whether he was insane - even with the clear evidence regarding his motive: 'slay as many infidels as possible'.

So we have a guy in a war zone who cracks, and he must be executed immediately.

But, this Muslim psychiatrist who was stateside in a nice safe office all day murders 13, wounds 29 of our own guys, and they try to argue the poor man suffered post-traumatic stress syndrome, from listening to real soldiers who had actual battle experience. Two and a half years later, they still haven't tried the murderous bastard.
