The Washington Times<\/a>‘s Rowan Scarborough writes about the emails between Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan’s supervisors at Walter Reed. Apparently, his superiors were worried that actually disciplining him would cause them to do actual work related to their profession;<\/p>\n

“He is a chronically somewhat unprofessional officer with a somewhat poor work ethic,” Maj. Scott Moran, residency director, wrote in e-mail to a superior.<\/p>\n

Maj. Moran said he was preparing to put Maj. Hasan on probation and extend his residency.<\/p>\n

But the superior rejected the idea, saying it would prompt a total re-evaluation of Maj. Hasan.<\/p>\n

The superior wrote back to Maj. Moran: “Please don’t go forward on anything yet. If you put him on probation, even administrative, will require me to convene a relook board.” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And then there was the evaluation of his research project for completion of his residency at Walter Reed;<\/p>\n

“I must admit that I am confused as to how this is acceptable as a scholarly activity,” the supervisor wrote. “While information about Islam, this seems to be a history\/religious class report rather than a psychiatric scholarly activity. I would expect better academic efforts from a graduating resident.” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Although I hold these guys responsible for allowing an obviously incompetent boob to treat our soldier for what are clearly Politically Correct reasons, the Army has to accept some of the responsibility for fostering a climate that allowed this incompetent boobery to germinate into a weapons grade blindness to the obvious. <\/p>\n

Could they have predicted the final outcome? Doubtful that no one, even Hasan, could have seen it coming. But if the Army had been doing it’s job as far as selection, Hasan never would have gone to Fort Hood in the first place. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
