A two month investigation into the shooting of scores of soldiers at Fort Hood by a REMF-ass doctor who was being sent to the war has been completed and arrived at the same conclusions that have been known to every buck sergeant since the beginning of time – pogues skip PT and no one does anything about it. From the Stars & Stripes and the Chicago Tribune<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Investigators found that the [Army Medical Corps] places too little emphasis on being a good military officer. Hasan was promoted because he was an adequate doctor. But he was a poor officer and should have been forced to take corrective action. The review determined Hasan was overweight, avoided physical training, was frequently late and did not meet standards for appearance.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, the Army is going to reprimand some other pogue officers for allowing pogues to act like pogues. Does it guarantee that pogues won’t skip PT and get porky? Nope. It just covers the Army’s collective ass for this investigation. <\/p>\n

But Hasan was a difficult person to work with and at other times pushed back forcefully against counseling. At one point, the review found, a supervisor insisted he get help by seeing a Muslim psychiatrist.<\/p>\n

Hasan refused, saying his religious views were none of the Army’s business. The supervisor backed down, a decision the review found was a mistake.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, Hasan was able to throw the “Islamic” card and everyone let him slide.<\/p>\n

Despite the failings, the review did not conclude it was a mistake to send Hasan to Fort Hood and found no clues that he would become violent.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Despite the fact that Hasan was a marginal performer, they promoted him and sent him to work with real combat soldiers – not a mistake at all. The troops don’t necessarily deserve good services. It’s more about the Medical Corps and their career development.<\/p>\n

After all, the real reason Hasan went off was because of gun laws;<\/p>\n

The report also looked at weapons policies. Hasan had two weapons, one given to him by his brother in Virginia and one bought in Texas, when he arrived in Fort Hood.<\/p>\n

Because he resided off base, there was no requirement to disclose he owned those weapons.<\/p>\n

The review does not recommend a specific weapons policy, but does say there should be a unified department policy, rather than one that varies by service or installation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When the Army is doing it’s best to look beyond the real reasons for this incident, it’s always best to blame the guns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
