Fort Hood Shooter's Motive

Yesterday the media reported that the Fort Hood shooter Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan was dead, until it was found late in the day that he was alive. Today, the media is reporting all kinds of sketchy details. The sad part is our wingnuts will persecute Muslims for this and use it in their opposition to Islam.
It looks like Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan's motive was not wanting to go to war. His mental health was questionable. It is my contention that human beings are getting a bit too --what's the word-- I hate to say enlightened because we're hardly that, but humans are growing beyond war. It conflicts the mind because we all know, deep down, how ludicrous it is. Anyway, hopefully the military can get some answers from Hasan and learn from it. It would appear that our troops are stretched beyond their means.

NYT has some more details:

Military records indicated that Major Hasan was single, had been born in Virginia, had never served abroad and listed “no religious preference” on his personnel records. Three other soldiers, their roles unclear, were taken into custody in connection with the rampage. The office of Representative John Carter, Republican of Texas, said they were later released, but a Fort Hood spokesman could not confirm that. General Cone said that more than 100 people had been questioned during the day.

Fort Hood, near Killeen and 100 miles south of Dallas-Fort Worth, is the largest active duty military post in the United States, 340 square miles of training and support facilities and homes, a virtual city for more than 50,000 military personnel and some 150,000 family members and civilian support personnel. It has been a major center for troops being deployed to or returning from service in Iraq and Afghanistan. NYT

Hasan was pestered for being Muslim:
