Guy wanted out, he couldn't stand it, and he just lost it. Terrorists wouldn't send in a sleeper to spend eight years in the military, just so he could shoot a handful of people who are probably all lower-level, not like they're generals or anything. So it turns out it is religiously motivated (and by extension, politically motiviated, since islam isn't just a religion but also a political movement). Is it ok to call it a terrorist attack now? Or would it just be considered an act of war? Ask Harold. Everyone else in this thread is going to be wrong anyway.

This whole thing (that info included) sounds like just what I said- a classic batshit-crazy spree killing. He was unhappy and desperate and pissed about his treatment and afraid to go to war. He lost it. He has more in common with the Luby's massacre guy than with terrorists. Every crazed spree has reasons, things building up inside that lead up to the day when they snap, be it religion or women problems or job problems.

"Some people can take it, and some cannot. He had listened to all of that, and he wanted out of the military, and they would not let him leave even after he offered to repay" for his medical training. Wah wah. Sounds like someone wanted some special treatment. He knew that he was required by law to serve in the military for at least 7 years after graduation. And he chose to continue his education on the governments dime. And he's a Dr. Did he really think he was going to be fighting? He was going to be on a FOB doing the exact same thing that he was doing back here but in theater. I do think that someone dropped the ball in not getting this guy kicked out because of his vocal anti-american beliefs.

Then this guy was the fucking trifecta of "things building up": religion, woman and job. Kablooie.

Yes, and apparently he thought he was entitled to buy his way out of his obligation. Going to USU for med school is a serious committment. If you go right after college you will be in until your mid- to late- thirties, period. Be prepared or don't sign up for your free MD. With that said, I agree there needs to be an ejection seat for those who wash out. Not everyone will get through med school, and this guy sounds like he needed a lot of help getting through. They should've assigned him to some fringe base and let him do physicals or else booted him out.

If he was smart, he just would have said he was gay and he could have just gone home. Obviously he wasnt thinking clearly.

For one thing, mental health pros have to be diligent about their own mental health; they hear a lot of crazy shit from some disturbed people on a daily basis. I'm guessing this guy trusted religion more than the science he was trained in. Also, if soldiers were a little worried about their fellow soldiers who are Muslim before this happened, how does this not make things worse? And we need the help of people who are familiar with the languages and customs of the middle east while we are involved in wars over there. That may be his greatest accomplishment, creating a worse environment for Muslim soldiers and lowering our military effectiveness because of it.
