Yes. They will reduce him in rank and order a forfeiture of all pay and benefits.

Sorry, no substitutes.
What's bad with pork?

Never mind--I just had a brain fizzle. I have now remembered that he is a devout Muslim.

Why would they put a foreign-born Muslim in the military when the US is fighting in the middle east? It is ridiculous.
If they need his language skill or cultural background, there are plenty of non-Muslims.

MAJ Hasan was born in Arlington, VA. He's all ours.

Despite what people in this country think we aren't special and we can't just get away with killing people for no reason and for fun as well. Kill them and they will fight back.He fought back and now he will die for his efforts to end the slaughter of his people.He is a martyr.
Today a US soldier named Robert Bales was sentenced to life in prison without parole for the premeditated murder of 16 innocent civilians, mostly women and children. If Hasan's sentence is any harsher than that it will prove to the world that the United States considers dead American soldiers to be worth more than innocent Muslim civilians.

If people are going to label Hasan a terrorist than that label must also be applied to the US soldiers that have commited war crimes and atrocities against people in Iraq and Afghanistan, including scumbags like Bales.

What if a Christian Afghan soldier (if it exists at all) killed 13 Muslim soldiers for religious reasons?
What will the reactions be?

Apparently not. He hates America and Americans.
He is only loyal to Allah.

His post was correct concerning what it was addressing.

That is a pretty weak deflection. Do you consider Sgt. Bales to be a terrorist? If not, what term do you use to describe someone that intentionally sets out to kill as many Muslim civilians as possible? Both he and Hasan were wearing a US military uniform during their murderous rampages.
