Hasan did not formally seek to leave military, Army official says

Nidal Malik Hasan - Muslim terroristBeing that jihadist Nidal Malik Hasan was so “stressed” and simply just “snapped” from all the pressure as Obama says, or had PTSD, despite NEVER leaving the army base to fight in a war, one would think if the muslim nutjob was simply too stressed to do his job and would formally seek to leave the ‘evil’ military killing his beloved muslim brothers. No instead he stayed with all those Obama/Media excuses and committed his jihad killing 14 people (well, 13 people, plus a baby on the way from one of them). According to a Washington Post, Hasan never did not formally seek to leave the military as a conscientious objector or for any other reason, an Army official said, despite claims by one of his relatives that he explored seeking a discharge.

It is unclear whether Maj. Nidal M. Hasan made informal efforts to leave through contacts with his immediate superiors, and if so how his chain of command at lower levels might have responded to such efforts.

But any formal request by Hasan to separate early would have been submitted to the Department of the Army, according to the official, who saw Hasan’s file before it was recently sealed by Army investigators. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the case publicly.

In 2007, addressing other physicians at Walter Reed Army Medical Center, Hasan said that to avoid “adverse events” the military should allow Muslim soldiers to be released as conscientious objectors instead of fighting in wars against other Muslims. At the time of the shooting, Hasan was about to be deployed to Afghanistan, officials have said.

Even if Hasan had sought to quit the Army over his opposition to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, as his aunt has said he did, the Army almost certainly would have denied any such request, senior Army officials said. Hasan had a continuing obligation because the Army had provided him with medical training.

In a further indication Hasan was not actively seeking formal discharge, he underwent an Army promotion board in the spring of 2008 that called his performance as an officer as patriotic and elevated him from the rank of captain to major, a promotion that took place in May 2009, according to the official.
